The Yakuza series as some seriously weird cameos, like the real-life president of a Japanese steak restaurant chain lol.

[@seand7042]

You can't tell me the mob boss in Yakuza 0 wasn't Vladimir Putin

[@AlexTenThousand]

Yakuza Kiwami features real-life judoka Shinichi Shinohara in a sidequest.

[@dylanogg347]

If I remember right, Kazuchika Okada showed up in one of the games.

[@TheOriginalStix]

@@dylanogg347 Yakuza actually has quite a history of including New Japan Pro-Wrestling stars in the games.

[@dylanogg347]

@@TheOriginalStix Aye, I've heard about that. Can't recall who else. But I'm betting Minoru Suzuki would be among them. A perfect choice.

[@tainteddragon2438]

The Soul Calibur franchise has cameos in each game since SCII. SCIV has the wierdest and the most out of place cameo characters being the 3 Star Wars characters. The Star Wars stage killed using a random stage feature for stage selection when using non-Star Wars characters : /

[@pietroroosrodrigues1014]

I really want P-body in Mortal Kombat, so I can finally scream "PORTAL KOMBAT" without looking like a idiot

[@ladydrace]

If a zenomorph lands in Stardew Valley, I had BETTER be able to make some goddamn alien mayonnaise.

[@MidBoss666]

Earthworm Jim in Battle Arena Toshinden and Barney the Dinosaur in Xenophage are probably the two most bizarre and out of place cameos in fighting games.

[@doomnarok]

12:36 - this cannot be unseen 😂

[@dennisalvarado5134]

Thank you.

[@Ennahdee]

Macho Man Randy Savage in Skyrim

[@emmychansuper]

And you thought that Ariana Grande was the only singer who appeared in FFBE, you also have Katy Perry with 2 units

[@HunterAtheist]

Please tell me you're just trolling.

[@emmychansuper]

@@HunterAtheist Nope, this is actually true. I have one of the units of her.

[@KittyKatt_Luna80s]

3 actually. But the girls are actually decent fighters if you use them correctly. *nods*

[@emmychansuper]

@@KittyKatt_Luna80s I checked the Brave Exvius wikia and it turns out Katy also has 4 units like Ariana...!

[@Burger_pants]

I sold mine before I delete that garbage money sink of a "game"

[@Tsukishima0520]

You guys are always so on point with the references, jokes, and puns. There's always a point in the videos where I have tomake this "heavy exhale through my nose" thing.

[@HunterAtheist]

THIS.

[@ellebhee5045]

I've only recently found this channel and what a find. Love it!

[@AlmondXIII]

Ah, welcome to the Walrus clan!

[@Looby_Lake]

Welcome to the Walrus clan friend!

Oh yeahhhh! Here we goooo! BINGE TIMEE!

They’ve got Ben, formerly of WhatCulture

[@ellebhee5045]

@@HunterAtheist That's the one!

[@jeremyriley1238]

Thanos may have been a questionable choice, but you have to thank him, because his appearance basically opened the door for Fortnite and Marvel to continue working together and adding other Marvel characters like Deadpool, Captain America, and even Spider-Man, Thor, and Wolverine into the ultrapopular battle royale game (heck, there's even going to be a comic mini-series starting this summer).

[@mistermack4987]

Now that Macrosoft has Id, when can we get Master Chief vs DoomSlayer?

[@Jacket430]

"It would probably be quite insensitive to include Thanos in the game after he killed half of the population, but maybe Epic Games would still consider it if it could net them a few more loot box sales" You can tell this joke was made by someone who's never played fortnite before.

[@FahrenForrester]

Have a like for referancing the berrics, DO A KICKFLIP!

[@granzert1711]

Silvio Berlusconi in Total Recall on the NES.

[@tainteddragon2438]

If going to the NES era Billy and Jimmy from Double Dragon in "Super Spike V'Ball"

[@granzert1711]

@@tainteddragon2438 With the difference that Silvio Berlusconi is a real person. 🤣 In Total Recall there is a boss that looks like him.

I always choose Cloud whenever I play Smash! So fun to play

[@NewportBox100s]

Such a good list. Very obscure facts!

[@roryk101]

Great video!

[@harryhawker1824]

After Shrek showed up Tony Hawk Underground 2 I'd like to see Tony Hawk in Shrek Super Slam

[@RyuzakiTaiyou]

I want to see Ben and Peter in a cooking mama game.

[@spongebobfan78]

Correction for the copyright at 12:30. Omega Quintet is published by Idea Factory International, not SIE. I'm that bored, that why I've noticed it.

[@hi_tech_reptiles]

Duke watched Oprah, pretty sure. Not a soap opera. Lol ;) Blood is awesome tho, one of the best Build Engine games, next to Duke himself, Shadow Warrior and ofc the modern Ion Fury.

[@labelledamedumanor4876]

I'd like to see Kain from Legacy of Kain do a cameo in a possible future Hyrule Warriors game or Link & Zelda journey to Nosgoth in a Legacy of Kain game set after Defiance. Link is the Dr. Henry Jekyll to Kain's Mr. Edward Hyde. If both these characters featured in the same game, I would see them as allies, even though they have different views in certain matters they would make their comradeship work out. What do you think? Yes, I know both characters are from different game franchises but didn't Blood Omen 2 get put on the Gamecube?

[@roach5035]

Absolutely gutted Ariana Grande doesn't evolve into Ariana Venti 😡😂

[@MotiviqueStudio]

The Witcher uses the novels? ... Say what?

[@seand7042]

..... very loosely.... very loosely

[@mattalan6618]

Tekken 7 also has Akuma from Street Fighter and Noctus from FF15

[@Crazy_Gamer_OG]

Baby Metal in Super Mario Maker was pretty weird, but in a cool way.

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

snake cosplaying an assassin and raiden in AC

[@Custer_X_Of_The_DAU]

What about Minecraft Steve in Super Smash Bros Ultimate?

[@Astolfo2001]

First Lars from Tekken being in a Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, then Steve from Minecraft being in Smash, and now, Baiken from Guilty Gear being in Samurai Shodown? What's next? Asuka from Evangelion being in The King of Fighters? Man, do fighting games these days sure have an odd obsession with having an odd guest character or two.....

[@DirkCjelli42]

Fortnite is within the Star Wars canon because of the Emperor's 'appearance' in a Fortnite event. The last movie even references the event in it's opening crawl.

[@ragnbonedan1501]

Id like to see Thanos go kart racing

[@marcjones3789]

King buzzo in sunset overdrive is still the best cameo

[@BloodGriffan]

Techically Lars had the outfit he had in Storm 2 in Tekken 6 but yeah... it happened

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Woop woop Edit: Lol I've just had a new phone and downloaded FFBE again (haven't played it since it first came out) that might be something to look out for...

[@HunterAtheist]

What about Steve from Minecraft in Smash?

[@christiangutierrez8841]

Never forget that the Ninja was broken on the Mario Sports games.

[@larsona2340]

Simon Miller at 4:36?

[@xerohmega795]

_powerhouse_ pyramid head is like D-tier killer 😅

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

I never even realized they were playing Fortnite in the movie. You can tell I don't even care about it when I don't even remember seeing it lol

[@gator9339]

I despise Fortnite and when that scene happened I cringed in my theatre seat

[@mrmagpiepromotions]

There was a King of Fighters mobile game that had a crossover event with WWE wrestlers.

[@gator9339]

Also Brawlhala

[@stevethestickguyproduction4847]

In NBA Street 3 you can Be the Beastie Boys as a 3 person team Or on the Nintendo GameCube Version can be a team of Mario, Luigi and Peach

[@dylanogg347]

Wouldn't Negan be more at him in Mortal Kombat? Still, if you want "weird". Then appearing in any major fighting franchise other than Mortal Kombat would fit the bill.

[@KegOfMeat]

Fred Durst in one of the WWF games was really weird

[@SuperArea31]

Probably already commented, but Lars was designed by Kishimoto for Tekken.

[@xandervampire195]

The weirdest thing in this video isn't any of the character cameos in games, it's the fact that Disney/Marvel filmed a scene of Thor playing Fortnight (fixed the spelling for you, Epic). What do they think he is, a twelve year old boy? Thor's a Norse warrior, he wouldn't even be interested in good games, nevermind the steaming pile of crap that is Fortnight.

[@antfrancis9941]

Phil Collins in Gta. (Think it was vice city or vice city stories) CLASSIC. *edit. Yep didn't read the title properly but i'll let the comment stand. Or how about real life people who have appeared in a videogame.

[@catherinemorrison1909]

Sif, I would like to see Sif in Ninetendo pets

[@Bman32x]

Kingdom Hearts X Dynasty Warriors I feel like is overdue. Would also love to see Star Fox and F-Zero in Mass Effect

[@ricardonb6375]

Kain and Raziel from LOK in Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.

[@LunarWingCloud]

I try to forget that Ariana Grande was in a Final Fantasy game

[@whitemage34]

There's EPONA in Monster Hunter Story 1

[@matiasdupree4834]

Negan would have been so much better in Mortal Kombat

[@trippyskullz6669]

Clair was spelled wrong during the show...they spelled it CLARE.

[@azwerbukhari579]

well its not "Clair" either, its Claire.

[@KegOfMeat]

As I skipped through this I though Negan was Frank West

[@sonicboomman9850]

well the battletoads had a cameo as bosses in shovel knight

[@robertlawrence4719]

Double dragon and battletoads .

[@grayscarab5784]

Tekken characters are not exactly grounded, even the normal human characters have superhuman strength, durability and reflexes due to chi. But they are less supernatural than other fighting verses like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat

[@reinforcedpenisstem]

Cameo means "brief" appearance.

[@RichardLarge88]

Kinda feel like we should get an Xbox Series X Bazooka Phil Spencer cameo in at least *something*

[@TwesomE]

So the great cratos was bested by a dude with a shovel?!? Seriously now and its cannot as well?!? The least they could do was working a shovel knight battle on the new god of war game i believe,since you know it is cannon after all! Last thing they can up to is telling me that this death battle with uncle scrooge was cannon as well! Tell you what developers lets make all shovel knight cameos & guest appearances cannot to all!!! X'D But i freaking love the game as a whole! ;)

[@canunsan7723]

It's time for a new one. Since we saw Dua Lipa in fifa

[@antoniopallares4845]

aint this guy from whatculture?? or did whatculture gaming turn into triple jump??

[@locke6066]

Bensune Miku sure was something. Thanks for that Liam...

[@LiamCCTV]

It's only going to get s t r a n g e r 😉

[@AshLilburne]

White Mage Can't Jump

[@TwesomE]

Not to mention that negan is pretty broken as a character,he would be best suited for MK 11 instead tekken 7! I think namco didn't knew what to do for guest characters so he fished out someone of a well known and successful series to sell out a DLC character for 7 bucks! A really cheap move to say the least since i am really pissed off having namco following the same tactics as other companies with the pesky DLC characters!

[@bryanmoberg8408]

isn't...noctis in tekken as well? negan is silly..but he doesn't have access to actual magic

[@BigNameFanWeekly]

Kratos in Shovel Knight gets a mention, but y'all leave out Battletoads in the Xbox/PC versions? What gives triple jump?

[@spongebobfan78]

Probably because it was confirmed canon.

[@DeathMetalDerf]

I hated The Walking Dead because of Neegan or however you spell it.

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

fuck me i never knew naruto and tekken crossed over until now

[@devinweathers7520]

I've always fucking amazed by cameos In animation and game this list is freaking NEAT ... Say what if cartoon network characters made their appearance in games as well picture johnny bravo in street fight ,

[@curtiswesterman2412]

would you be able to have jules Gill on here for a video or would that not slide with him still working at whatculture? 🤔 I would love to see you three together

[@gator9339]

Brawlhalla and WWE

[@kennethwilkinson2095]

Michael Jackson in ready 2 rumble ronud 2... you name video game characters in other video games, weird 🙄

[@ElephantWithAMonocle]

This entire list could be fortnite skins

[@sierradarrell8560]
