| 1 | * A ton of them to ''Franchise/MegaMan'', which was notably also developed by Creator/KeijiInafune. The [[ArmCannon Real Mega Buster]] is the first game's ultimate weapon, a toy version of it can be found in toy stores, [[VideoGame/MegaManLegends Servbots]] make cameo appearances as toys and novelty masks, and the movie theater is showing a ''Mega Man 2'' feature film. Frank can also wear a Mega Man costume that closely resembles VideoGame/MegaManX. The mobile version actually ''has'' Mega Man himself as an unlockable character. |
| 2 | * Frank learns a few ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' moves as he levels up, namely Guile’s Somersault Kick and Zangief’s Double Lariat. Sadly, he cannot pull off a Hadouken. |
| 3 | * [[Franchise/ResidentEvil "Jill's Sandwiches", "Chris' Fine Foods", and the fact the Black Ops soldiers sent in look like HUNK]]. |
| 4 | * The Cultists look suspiciously similar to the killer from the ''Film/{{Scream}}'' slasher film series. |
| 5 | * Crislip's Home Saloon, Seon's Food and Stuff and Gromin's stores are all named after Capcom U.S. employees. |
| 6 | * One of the cities targeted by [[spoiler:Carlito's orphans]] is [[Film/TheReturnOfTheLivingDead Louisville, Kentucky]]. |
| 7 | * There is an actual Willamette area, but it's in Oregon, not Colorado. It's not clear why Capcom decided to give it a shout out, though it could have to do with it being the final destination in ''VideoGame/TheOregonTrail''. They say the name wrong, however. |
| 8 | * One of the stores in the Willamette mall is a small theater called [[VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe Movieland]]. |
| 9 | * Even the seeming anvil about mall walkers/consumption culture being no different than the zombies is straight from ''Film/DawnOfTheDead1978''. They were even sued by the company with the rights to the film because there are so many similarities [[labelnote:If Interested...]]The presiding judge threw the case out, essentially saying that "zombies in a mall" isn't a copyrightable concept and that Dead Rising lacks the social commentary of the film[[/labelnote]]. |
| 10 | * One of the convicts is named Miguel Sanchez, which is also the name [[AmoralAttorney Lionel Hutz]] gives himself as he plans to flee the law in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. |
