Bonjam everyone! This is Aifos coming to you alive from the abandoned Thunder Temple! And I’m stuck here, because, I can’t fly! Hm.. Oh, duh, I’ll just call for help! Phosphora: “Yes, you called?” Ugh, not for you, I didn’t. Please, go away. Or at least put something appropriate on.. Phosphora: “Lighten up Aifos! My game’s only rated E10+, what I’m wearing is fine.” I don’t like you. Anyway! Ignoring her, between cameos, crossovers, and obscure references, video games are no strangers to (intentionally or otherwise) advertising other games. Sometimes, these references amount to nothing more than just that; a reference. However, sometimes, those references manage to convince us to try games we otherwise might not have, and sometimes, we’ll actually like those games we try! And so I thought, why not talk about those games we love, that we only leared about from other games we love? And on a side note, anyone trying to make an argument for some sort of connected game multiverse because of cameos amd crossovers is an idiot. No offense to them. [b][u]Tl;dr? Here’s my point![/u][/b] Whether from a crossover, a cameo, or some other reference, what are some of your favorite games you learned about from other games? My answer; [spoiler]In Smash Bros 4 & Ultimate, if you briefly use Pit’s down taunt on the one big Skyworld stage, Pit will have a telepathic conversation with Palutena and/or Viridi about his opponent. They’re always a little goofy, like Pit having a crush on Zelda, or freaking out when he’s fighting Bayonetta, and frankly, they’re all pretty hilarious. These little coversations are what convinced me to give Kid Icarus: Uprising (a series I first heard of via Pit’s appearance in Brawl) a shot, and, unsurprisingly, it was a pretty amazing game. Like, seriously, has Sakurai ever made a bad game? Edit; honorable mentions to NiGHTS, who I learned of through his various Sonic cameos, and TWEWY, which I learned of through Kingdom Hearts 3D.[/spoiler] But that’s all for now folks! Jambuhbye!
