Compare to [[New Game+]] and [[Another Side, Another Story]], which reward you for playing the ''same'' game again after completing it once.
{{examples|suf=es}}
* Unlocking Japanese as an audio option for Theater Mode instead of the default English in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]: [[No Export for You|Final Mix+]]'' requires having a finished ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories|Re: Chain of Memories]]'' save file on the memory card. Notably, ''Final Mix+'' added a few cutscenes not in the original edition of the game, which means that there is no English voiceover available for them. ''This'', in turn, means that these cutscenes ''are essentially muted'' until you get around to finishing the other game. Which, naturally, is [[Guide Dang It|entirely in Japanese]]. At least ''Re: Chain of Memories'' [[Embedded Precursor|comes with]] ''Final Mix +''...
* Though this trope was dead for many years, it's not really all that new on computers: in early installments of ''[[Ultima]]'', ''[[The Bard's Tale Trilogy|Bards Tale]]'' or ''[[Wizardry]]'', it's possible to import a player from each game in the same series into the next game - although this ended at least a decade before the release of Ultima 9.
Line 127 ⟶ 128:
** If it counts, Resetti will also thank you for buying both games during the first encounter, if you do transfer your character from Wild World to City Folk.
* Unlocking three achievements in the first ''[[Gears of War]]'' game would unlock three multiplayer characters in ''Gears of War 2''.
* ''[[Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War]]'' had a couple of these. If you had an ''[[Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies]]'' save on your memory card, you could unlock one of the superplanes, the X-02 Wyvern, from the very start of the game for $430,000. If you had an ''[[Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War]]'' save, you could unlock the ADF-01 FALKEN without having to get all three Supreme Ace medals (instead settling for the 3 Ace medals). However, if you had saves from ''both games'', you unlocked both superfighters just by completing the first mission in the campaign.
* A saved game of ''[[Castlevania: Lament of Innocence]]'' would net you a special item near the start of ''[[Castlevania: Curse of Darkness|Curse of Darkness]]'' that could either be sold for a good amount of cash or be used once to completely fill up your life bar.
* A completed ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' save file nets you a reward in [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World|its sequel]] if you plug the Gamecube's memory card into your Wii. Said reward is random, ranging from small/cheap healing items that end up saving you some cash to experience boost items for monsters.
Line 217 ⟶ 218:
* In ''[[Final Fantasy XIII-2]]'', if you have a ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' file, you unlock a [[Play Station 3]] theme or Xbox 360 gamer picture, along with the Eternal Crystal item. In addition, you can find masks of Lightning and Serah as adornments if you beat ''XIII''.
* In ''[[Dead Space 2]]'', starting a new game with a save file from ''[[Dead Space (video game)|Dead Space]]'' will give you access to a "refurbished" plasma cutter - which is really just the weapon from the first game (that can't be obtained any other way). Starting a new game with a save file from ''Dead Space: Ignition'' will net you a Hacker RIG (which can be very useful in later parts of the game).
* Unlocking the hidden character [[Jake Roberts|Jake "The Snake" Roberts]] in ''[[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] Smackdown vs. Raw 2006'' requires connecting with the PSP version of the same game. Yes, that's right, you need to own the exact same game on two different platforms for this one.
** Same goes for the Gamecube version of ''[[Prince of Persia]]: The Sands of Time'', where you can unlock [[Embedded Precursor|the original]] ''Prince of Persia'' game by linking the GCN and GBA versions—but at least this isn't the only way to do it.
** Ditto with ''[[Crash Bandicoot|Crash Tag Team Racing]]''.
