Line 287:
* ''[[God Hand]]'' has tons of these. Elvis wears [[Street Fighter|Akuma's]] prayer beads, Gene has the Shoryuken as a juggle move, and one of the God Reels is 100 Fists, a [[Spam Attack]] that references ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''. There are also many, ''many'' tips of the hat to Clover Studios' previous games, such as ''[[Okami]]'' (one of the Chuihauhas you can race is called Amaterasu) and ''[[Viewtiful Joe]]'' (the Mad Midget Five). Elvis himself is a giant [[Shout-Out]] to, well, ''[[Elvis Presley]]''.
* The ''[[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]]'' universe has plenty of these:
** Many of them can be found in [https://web.archive.org/web/20160306171910/http://images.ea.com/ea/arcade/draft2cRGB.pdf "Star* Soldier", the manual for Wing Commander Arena], mostly in the form of references to members of the online fandom.
** The galaxy map that shipped with some versions of ''Prophecy'', has stars named after famous science fiction authors, online fandom members, and famous astronauts.
*** In one particular case, a [[Real Life]] star, Barnard's Star, was renamed to Bernard's Star, to honor Jason Bernard, who played Captain William Eisen in ''[[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]] III'' and ''[[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]] IV''. Bernard passed away shortly after the release of the latter game. See also the ''TCS Eisen'' from ''[[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]] Prophecy'', mentioned in a character's dialog.
