19 Sony heroes that belong in All-Stars Battle Royale

CVG: Within hours of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale being announced, 100s of gaming sites had written character wishlists, always with the same old names - Lara, Snake, Drake.

You can't ignore these icons, and neither will we, but what about the fringe characters, the forgotten heroes, who defined PlayStation history? Here's who we'd really like to see in a multiplayer dust up...

[StarFox]

Giant Enemy Crab XD

[AO1JMM]

A historical correct giant enemy crab? Lol

[CanadianTurtle]

Hey man, don't diss. My great grandfather died in the real historic Japanese war. He was killed by a giant enemy crab!

[LoaMcLoa]

It was his own fault for not using real-time weapon change!

[ChunkyLover53]

He should have flipped it over and hit its weak spot for massive damage.

[Nimblest-Assassin]

He needed to attack his weakpoint for massive damage

[GribbleGrunger]

of course the real fools are those that didn't get the joke

[dark-hollow]

I know it will cost them to get these characters but please for GODS sake include crash, spyro and any iconic characters from FF 7 to 12.

[PS3Freak]

No Kazuma Kiryu? Come on.

[Nimblest-Assassin]

no.... I don't play Yakuza... but there is one character who should be there

MARK FREAKING HAMILL

[PS3Freak]

You should play them they are amazing. Both Kazuma and Majima should be in this game.

By the way Original Japanese > English dubs for pretty much EVERY Japanese game. The English voice actors never sound right.

[Nimblest-Assassin]

sorry, but Mark Hamill made my childhood awesome

Joker and Luke Skywalker? The mans a legend

[smashcrashbash]

Okay first of all some of those characters belong to other people and would cost a fortune to get in the game. Secondly Enemy Crab? Noby Noby Boy? Eyepet? Really? And last of all I do like some of those ideas. Traveler, Kat, Nariko,Sir Dan Sackboy and Wanderer are good ones. Everyone else like Guitaroo Man and Vibri can be background charters

[duli14]

Gabe logan from syphon filter should be in it

[NukaCola]

I agree.

Would love to wee as well:

Gex
Spyro
Crash
Croc
Abe

These guys may be no longer on Sony's system only but they started out there and they deserve to return for the battle. Oh and I think Gex is well overdue for a comeback anyway.

Also, some of these characters could be part of the stage like EyePet who could come in and get in the way of the screen like those damn Nintendogs do. I don't know what is the final outcome of the title but I would love to see tons of cameos in every tiny aspect of the game. Go all out SMASH with this title. This one is for the fans.

[ElitaStorm]

Nariko vs Kratos omg i cant wait

[HalfNerdHalfAmazing]

This is why I don't respect Sony always taking nintendo ideas I'm good with smash bros.

[Nimblest-Assassin]

sigh -_-

here we go

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I'm going to enjoy both, why can't both co-exist, with out someone complaining it took something from here

Look at the wiiU pro controller.... oh wait, people complained it looked like an xbox controller. You sir are fine proof that if someone takes an idea... its frowned upon.

Doom would be the only FPS
Mario the only platformer
We would be stuck with text based adventure games

if we keep complaining if something takes an idea. Its does so to improve on it, or open it to new audiences. Even though I own a wii and PS3, others may have never tried SSB, and this is their chance with characters they are familiar with

[dark-hollow]

I admit it. Am an obnoxious Nintendo fanboy but even though it's a clone or not, am very excited for this game.

[Krimmson]

Lara Croft is "Sony's Super Mario"? Who the hell got paid to write this crap?

[Nimblest-Assassin]

Wasn't Crash "Sony's super mario"?

CVG is the same place that said GOW, Tomb Raider, Watch Dogs, MGR need to tone down the gore

[BlaqMagiq24]

I wanna see Kat, Crash, Spyro, Solid Snake and maybe Raiden. And Cole is pretty much a given.

[DialgaMarine]

I'm well aware that he's going to be in it, but you forgot Cole McGrath, as well as many more possibities. It's kindof obvious this list was for fun, so I'm not going to be an asshole and nitpick it, but you did have some very good choices. Kat, Wander, Ratchet, etc. all really need to be in. And hey, what about good ol' KB? He's a hero to the Playstation brand, so that's gotta count for something? XD

[MrSaturn]

I really hope Crash is in the game, classic or activision(what is everyones deal with that?!) as long as he's here, I'm happy.

Wanderer: YES
