Rumor: Sony working on a Smash Bros-esque fighter featuring Sony all-stars

The hat of "Sony Mascot" has been worn by many, many different critters and folk since the days of Crash Bandicoot and, uh, Croc. In fact, Sony's stable of lovable household names is so fully stocked that they've decided to pit their creations against one another to determine who lives and who dies.

Okay so, that last part might be a little hyperbolic, but the rumor mill is operating at full capacity over Title Fight, a Super Smash Bros.-ish cross-franchise brawler reportedly in development at SuperBot Entertainment, according to The Paul Gale Network. If rumors are to be believed, the game will feature a cast of Sony-console specific characters like Nathan Drake, Sweet Tooth, Sly Cooper, that guy from Killzone and Fat Princess. Fights will take place in various Sony related locations such as Sandover Village or a golf course from Hot Shots Golf.

The gallery of images below, which shows Sweet Tooth, a blank female form that may or may not be Heavenly Sword's Nariko and a debug screen that mentions Kratos, were tweeted (and subsequently deleted) by SuperBot Entertainment's senior level designer Chris Molina. Apparently, this hullabaloo is also what that franchise-rich teaser trailer from September was all about, which would also indicate the inclusion of Parappa the Rapper, as well as a representative from FOXHOUND.

If all this pans out, Title Fight will be the latest in a long, proud history of SCEA-published fighting games like Battle Arena Toshinden and Cardinal Syn. We'll keep our ear to the ground for more as this story develops.

Echochrome guy c'mon, make it happen D:

@Eniko

BEWBS!

@Eniko Echochrome guy has nothing on Kevin Butler! The ultimate fighter!

@Eniko
Ha! Forgot about him! That would be a great character. One of his attacks could be sending "echoes" against the adversary. ;)

@Eniko

Sackboy will kill everyone, he's like if the green lantern of video game characters. only he dresses cooler

@eat it
Perhaps they could even do something like the skin for sackboy is the skin you use for your sackboy.

Every console should have its own "smash bros"

@Midnitte

some of them don't have enough unique characters. yeah i'm lookin at you, Xbox.

"Look guys, we know you felt betrayed in regards to the little memory card episode. So we thought we'd make it up to you".

If this isn't true, I'm taking on a solitary, nomadic life, away from the deceit and disappointment.

I also would prefer Kai over Nariko, just saying..

@Eniko

how about we get both !

@Eniko

I'd rather have both, I just cant decide which one I like more

And just a note:
I still want a heavenly Sword 2, where you play as Kai. Kthx

@Eniko
Tell the truth Sony have the best characters to make a good Smash Bros game. Kratos vs Hale vs Nate vs Cole vs Sackboy!! lol

@Eniko

We play twing-twang?

@Mustang Fanboy kratos will not appear thats already been done in MK9 thanks see ya

Sackboy is the new Servbot!

Fat Princess vs Kratos...c'mon, it's begging to be done.

@Captain Planet Planeteer Power

Ratchet vs. Clank, Jak vs. Daxter.

Peter Molydeux would be all over this twist.

@Captain Planet Planeteer Power

Kratos versus anybody needs to be done. It wouldn't even be an even match-up.

@Captain Planet Planeteer Power
Complete with QTE sexy-time.

\(O.o/

Kratos vs Sackboy LOL

@ClownyDaggers
Hopefully Sackboy has several different appearance options like characters do in SSB.

Kratos Vs. Sackboy (Kratos appearance).

@DevilSei Importing your LBP profile as a skin in-game would be even cooler!

This sounds like it could either be awesome or a total failure.

@TraceurRyuk Part III
Wow, you're a modern Nostradamus!

Thanks, I take pried in my analytical prowess. I strive to be the next Michael Pachter. It's about damn time someone around here recognized my talent.

@TraceurRyuk Part III

Everyone can be a Pachter. Just believe in yourself, but still stay true to who you are.

I hope it's less Smash Bros and more Power Stone... alternatively, I want another sequel to Power Stone.

I would like Nathan Drake to play like a mix between Captain Commando and Deadpool, and be able to send in Sully, Elena and Chloe to do assist attacks. DO THIS AND I GIVE YOU ALL MY MONEY.

@Gaddes Yes. This.

@Gaddes

Your face perfectly illustrates my reaction when reading this article.

@Gaddes Well, Nolan North does voice both Drake and Deadpool.

@bittermang

And just about every other character ever created. >.O

I won't buy unless Sully is playable. Nathan can only be the star for so long.

@Omega2822

DLC

@Omega2822 THIS please!!! Sully's super move should be him chomping on a cigar while saying Goddamn like a BAWS!

@HardBoiled2009

Don't give them any ideas!

Oh man Oh Man Oh Man ........... I hope they have a huge roster ( more then 12 ) i'm sure they could borrow from other games Assassins Creed .. or Dead Space or FF or ... OH GOD THE ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES !

@HardBoiled2009

Considering EA's partnership with Sony that's pretty likely.

Parappa the Rapper better have a special move that includes yelling "I GOTTA BELIEVE!!!" that sends all the players flying into outer space and to their deaths.

@ItchyBarracuda
PARAPPA WINS!

BALLADITY

ahh finally this rumor is being acknowledged! i hope its real. i dont know about you guys but smash brothers is one if not the best series ive ever played! ill gladly welcome in a smash bros like game from sony with open arms. the only thing im worried about is most of sonys 1st party characters use guns @_@ also jak & sackboy or gtfo

If they take anything from Smash Bros. I hope they take the move simplicity. 15 button "Ultra" combo's are terrible to memorize once you leave middle school.

@Bumper

I agree, Mortal Kombat is about the most hardcore fighter I will play. It's the perfect balance of casual vs hardcore. Street Fighter is just too much for me.

should of let capcom make this.........haha jk

@adr916

So we could get a updated addition a few months later?

@adr916
No thanks.

I've always thought about how cool a game like this could be! With the roster of playstation characters available it seems like the perfect set up for a fighting game.

Just... Please dont use the ssf4 graphics style. it's nice and all, but if this is to be a "playstation tribute" of sorts, than I think balls out best graphics it can be should be in order!

It will be like a Smash Bros game full of Roy and Marth.

"Wait, who's that clown guy? And what's with the orange weasel?"

@db2 Like the majority of players were familiar with Pit and R.O.B.
I think Daxter has enough publicity to stand out and be recognizable

When will people learn the Internet is written in ink?
