The Super Sega cameo and reference thread

[ROJM]

I don't know if anyone's notice, but Sega has been doing a lot of game cameo or/and references in a lot of their games lately. Although its nothing new it hasn't IMHO been to this extent that you have it today. Playing a recent Sega game lately is like spot the cameo or the reference. The thing about when Sega does a cameo is sometimes how they use that cameo in a clever way. At the moment you can argue using the three selectable characters from  the shooter arcade adventure YAKUZA DEAD SOULS kinda fits the game of BINARY DOMAIN. Or the crazy selection that allows you to get Tauils and Metal Sonic in SPIRAL KNIGHTS.

Perhaps one of the best cameos,references of recent times would have to be the "afterburn" stage in the recent SHINOBI 3DS title added to the fact that the japanese packaging of the game is a great reference to the original Japanese megadrive carts of the late to early nineties. and of course the Gilus thunderhead powerup.
But there's more can anyone think of one that was in the cleverly used or ones that was just great to see?

The first thing that springs to mind: SEGA's RPG series

PSU saga: RCSM (Mega Drive, Saturn, Dreamcast...)  PSO levels, enemies and music, room items from Valkyria Chronicles and weapons, clothing (Shining series...), Sonic stuff.

Valkyria Chronicles: Skies of Arcadia characters, Emilia from PSPo2 playable in VC2, weapons from PSPo2, stickers from Resonance of Fate and other games...

It's just too much stuff... ^^

Saw a porn with a Dreamcast in the background for a good chunk of it...if that counts haha


(Also, is there a way to change usernames on here?  Can someone PM me? I'd rather just change my old name to this rather than have the two accounts exist.)

What's the porn? I'd love to feature it on SEGA in the Media, just blur out 90% of the image. lol

As for the username, best to PM Shadi and see if he can merge the two accounts?

Breaking bad had 2 cameos of sonic games in season 4.

Also something funny i found out : few muse tunes ( absolution and one other one) were inspired by wonder boy 3 : dragon's trap on MS.

I can dig the tunes if interested...

[Barry the Nomad]

Yeah! Dig the tunes up! SEGA in the Media hasn't had an article in a while.

All the capsules from sega games in Shenmue. I can recall seeing them for the first time in 2000, it was the ultimate homage to segas past series even having capsule toys based on sega systems. Also, it was the last time Bean and Bark from sonic fighters where in a game.

Fighters Megamix for the Saturn was a cameo that was a game if that makes any sense

Technically that was a crossover game.
