There will never exist any game of any degree that could ever top what Nintendo does in Smash, and that is the crossover aspect.
No company could ever try to achieve want Nintendo has laid out groundwork for. Final Fantasy, Castlevania, Street Fighter, Dragon Quest, Banjo-Kazooie, Persona, Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Bayonetta, Metal Gear Solid, all that and more in just one franchise that is a fighting game.
How did Nintendo do it? How have they created an unstoppable force? Why is every other vidya crossover title so weak in comparison? Why are there hardly any other crossover titles? Nintendo killed competition before competition even existed.
Okay but the whole point I'm trying to make is that why aren't there more giant crossover games? PlayStation All-Stars honestly could have been good, it needs a sequel with more refined psychics and a much wider roster.
The crossover itself isn't the focus, there are others out there. The fact the game is fun is what is important and made it possible to make the crossovers, in the first place. Even if it was all just Nintendo characters, it would be still great. But if the game was shit, flooding with characters from everything like Mugen would be innane.

But smash IS a shit game. That's why no one sees it as anything more than a party game.
