Do you guys remember "Capcom vs Marvel" game? It combine Japanese and American cultures into a fighting game that gamers could enjoy either side as they play the game....
I think this kind of law should apply to action and RPG games.
For instance, if you combine Final Fantasy with Iron Man or X-Men into a huge RPG game, I guarantee the game will see twice better than FF alone. Kingdom heart was a good example. It had both Japanese and American cultures.
I think this should be the trend for next-gen consoles.
Kingdomheart proved to be a successful game. If many games can include Japanese hot games' elements and American hot games' elements, the games will be sold out madly just like PS3.
It'd be awesome that while you play Metal Gear Solid, you get to work with Iron Man to clear the bad side.
Iron Man fits well into MGS.
For Zelda you can mix Spawn into that game, by this the game might look a little violent than Zelda was, but it will also intensify its gameplay and creativity.
I love Kingdom Heart, not only would it recall my childhood memory, it also revoluted my creativity.
Some might argue that adding Japanese & American cultures into a game might seem to be a bad idea.
It really depends. Metal Gear Solid is a military-based game, so if you mix this one with Spawn, which is a Gothic style game, it will not fit. Some people don't like this idead might due to the balance of proportions.
I really like that the current Japanese developers are finding ideas to combine some great games from Japanese side and American side to innovate a whole & brand new game.
