DarkTone | 985 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I've been playing both shovel knight and enter the gungeon recently. I noticed in both games that there were crossovers / cameos in them (god of war and battletoads in shovel knight, and payday 2 in enter the gungeon) and love seeing that happen. Then I watched a super meat boy run and saw indie characters in that too. Was just wondering. What games have you loved with characters special guesting in others (not including smash)? Playable, NPC, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabonga | 2,320 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I always liked Sonic just chillin' on the beach in Crusader of Centy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,742 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 These are more easter eggs than cameos, but there are lots of guest characters to be found in Duke Nukem 3D and the many add-ons (the Doom Marine being probably the most well known). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Pac | 7,560 Graphics Team · Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The Lolo and Lala boss fight in Kirby's Dream Land is also a neat one. And the Bomberman boss in Star Parodier. [T-Pac] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the pc engine a boss?! Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,964 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Star Parodier is basically Hudson's Parodius. But unlike Konami, they don't have quite as many recognizable franchises to pump into it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkTone | 985 Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Never played dave the diver, but happy to see indie games get godzilla in them. While watching that trailer again, I got recommended a video for dave the diver x dredge. Never heard of that game so I checked that out too. A great way to get eyes on products are crossovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikk | 560 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 It's more of an easter egg, but the skeleton of Raz from Psychonauts showing up in Alice: Madness Returns just works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[T-Pac] Can't vouch for arcade, but yes Bombjack is in NES Solomon's Key. He's super-hidden though. You need to bump a specific block with your head a bunch of times to make him appear. Catching him turns all the enemies into fairies. Works in two rooms, I believe. Oh, and don't forget he's also the star of the final halftime show in Tecmo Super Bowl!

Not just Cloud - you encounter Aeris too while on the side quest to get him. Lol I was so obsessed with FFVII back then. I even got Ehrgeiz because of it. Unlike Ehrgeiz though, Tactics was so awesome and I could pretty much play it endlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
