Well, this is the post to point out the small things hidden in your videogames that give praise and credit to other videogames!

Items, Billboards, Characters, Music, Level Design
Capcom, Konami and SNK are the masters of this pratice with just about every other Konami Game ever made includes something related to Gradius.

There is also a fine line between tributes and rip offs.
A rip-off would be a cheese character with nothing to offer and are mostly made by the same company. Example : Dan -Capcom and Robert-SNK. Dan was made as a rip off to insult SNK characters,while robert insulted the most exploitable moves in capcom. > _ >

It's goes like this , you name the character and or game and the game they pay tribute to. Some are obvious, some are'nt. . .

My Point Out-Shout out!

Viewtiful Joe for being a tribute to Kamen Rider Super-1.
May Lee for being a tribute to Kamen Rider 2.
Skullomania for being an ultimate tribute towards Kamen Rider 1.
K'9999 of course, for being a tribute to Tetsuo!!!!
Blanca from Shadow Hearts Convent for being a tribute to Solid Snake.
Extermination for being a subtle tribute towards Super Mario. .
Ape Escape 2 for being a blatent tribute towards Pokemon and the Super Sentai/Power Rangers.
Lastly.. Zone of the enders 2, for bringing back.. Vic Viper.. .err.. Gradius,

I heart those companies for doing that!
