It depends on the game, really. Smash Brothers is beautifully implemented with fan service and is a great game to boot, but the Marvel vs Capcom games...they're fun, but you could take the Marvel characters out of 2 and still have a great game with just the Capcom characters (and it would still be a cross-over of sorts, with the Capcom franchises). I actually liked how they did MvC 1 (Marvel teams up with Capcom to fight Onslaught). Still waiting for Sammy vs Capcom to come about one of these days.
So I'm fine with it pretty much.

I wish I could have found a copy of MvC2 before it got sold out and rare.

$60+ for a used is kinda ridiculous and I guess I'm waiting to see if I can find one cheap.
With that said, it all depends on how the crossover is and what game. MvC was pretty cool as was X-Men vs Street Fighter (virtually the same game, I guess.) Kingdom Hearts is another favorite of mine too, even though I was on the bandwagon early before with disgust of it being Disney. (Still waiting for that Robin Hood level to be added to a KH game) DC vs MK looks really interesting and that's going to be one of those "wait and see"s for me (chances are I'll pick it up, but still)
Personally I wish more would get released that were Japan only releases like Namco X Capcom. That intrigued me from what I saw that one E3. Or maybe Square can make another cross-over, this time of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest in a standard RPG setting.
I guess it matters on what crossovers would work and what make no sense at all. Would a traditional RPG work from Square mixing in characters from Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger? Would a survival horror crossover work for Dino Crisis and Resident Evil? How about Solid Snake having to be sent to Silent Hill? It's all whether the right setting and combination happens.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
