NeoGeo Battle Coliseum
Introduction
NeoGeo Battle Coliseum is a crossover 2-on-2 fighting game by SNKPlaymore that consists of 39 playable characters (41 if you count the last boss Goodman, and the cpu only Shishioh/Red King Lion), but don't take the word "cross-over" lightly because this game is literally a bonafide mash-up with characters spanning from well known SNK universes like "The King of Fighters" and "Samurai Showdown" to ADK series you never heard of such as "Aggressors of Dark Kombat" and "World Heroes".
It's available for PS2, and now Xbox 360 for 800 MS points on the Marketplace (as of June 9, 2010).
