The man behind Capcom's recent fighting games believes the idea should be pitched to Nintendo.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/24828
During a roundtable discussion at yesterday's Nintendo 3DS event in Amsterdam, Capcom's Yoshinori Ono was asked if Capcom had considered including Nintendo characters in their fighting games in order to broaden their appeal. Ono was enthusiastic about the idea, but he took it one step further.
Ono said that he would like to make a Nintendo Vs. Capcom fighting game, and wishes for the idea to be pitched to Nintendo of Japan and Masahiro Sakurai, game director on Super Smash Bros. Brawl and the upcoming Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Ono is likely wishing on a star, as no rumors have ever circulated about a Nintendo/Capcom slugfest. But hopefully he's started something.
Be sure to check out our full transcript of the roundtable.
I would have said no chances of that happening, but that was before we found out that Samus will be in Dead or Alive Dimensions.
So, by the rules of Continuity, the world of Nintendo coexists with:
Sonic the Hedgehog Universe
Metal Gear
D.O.A / and by extension Ninja Gaiden
Soul Calibur universe
If they did a crossover with Capcom, that opens up to Marvel, which opens up to DC Comics which means MARIO VS BATMAN 2016
When Capcom did this with SNK it resulted in two games. Capcom vs. SNK was made by Capcom and SNK vs. Capcom was made by SNK with each game representing more the style of each developer. Now that same approach is being done with the Street Fighter/Tekken crossover.
That is what I would want to see. Not just Nintendo characters in Street Fighter or Capcom characters in SSB. I want both Nintendo vs. Capcom and Capcom vs. Nintendo.
The next "Smash Bros" game should just be "Nintendo vs. Everyone" or "Nintendo vs. The World" type thing. Having only Snake and Sonic in Brawl was such a cocktease.

Super Mario Bros. vs. The World! Mario and friends must do battle against the seven evil mascots: Sonic, Snake, Cloud from FFVII, Bomberman, Mega Man and Master Chief!
Now, we just have to connect one of these properties to the Westphall Universe...The next "Smash Bros" game should just be "Nintendo vs. Everyone" or "Nintendo vs. The World" type thing. Having only Snake and Sonic in Brawl was such a cocktease.

That's only six.
Mugen. For example, a fairly promising project: http://www.pixelprospector.com/indev/2009/07/card-sagas-wars/ (http://www.pixelprospector.com/indev/2009/07/card-sagas-wars/)I would have said no chances of that happening, but that was before we found out that Samus will be in Dead or Alive Dimensions.
Er... Or, you know, Link in Soul Calibur 2?
I wouldn't mind seeing a few Capcom characters in Smash Bros. Megaman and Ladd Spencer would both be great for nostalgia. That said, I have a hard time visualizing just how Capcom would integrate Nintendo characters into a more traditional VS type game.
MARIO VS. MEGAMAN!!!! ;D Please let it happen!Ever heard of Super Smash Flash 2? It's currently in development and its roster includes Mario, Mega Man, Cloud, Lloyd, Ichigo, Goku, Naruto, and other third party characters, as well as most of those from the Smash Bros. games.

The Final Fantasy Characters connect with Disney through Kingdom hearts, and DC Comics connects to Hanna Barbera through Batman on Scooby Doo. Disney Connects to Bugs Bunny universe through Who Framed Roger Rabbit which means...
