History ShoutOut / ProjectXZone

* When confronted by Axel during a later chapter, Saya calls him "Mr. [[VideoGame/UndercoverCops Undercover-Cop]]".

* Kill an enemy with Reiji, Xiaomu, and Saya and Saya may suggest that they team up and call themselves The Outfoxies: this is referring to an old obscure Namco arcade game that basically boils down to "VideoGame/SuperSmashBros with guns".

* Xiaomu may also say [[VideoGame/BionicCommando "Get out of here, you nerd!"]] when she and Reiji called to support.

* There is a RunningGag where people keep saying they think there's only two people in the Shinra organization. Well, Xiaomu's finally had enough in Chapter 5. "Speak for yourself [Chun-Li]. Is there anyone besides you in the Interpol? No wonder that VideoGame/{{Carmen|Sandiego}} chick gets away so easily."

* In Chapter 18, when the party meets Ranmaru, he demands to have the Demon Blade, which he needs to revive Nobunaga. Xiaomu assumes that "[[VideoGame/MuramasaTheDemonBlade it's kept]] between [[VideoGame/OdinSphere Sphere of Odin]] and the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Crown Princess's Crown]]. A bit later on, Xiaomu further comments that she doesn't want to see what VideoGame/NobunagasAmbition is this time.

* In Chapter 23, Urashima says she needs gold and silver to make repairs. Xiaomu mentions seeing "A Gold Cartridge Legend-Of-Something" in the game room. Nintendo fans know this is a reference to the Vintage Gold Cartridge The Legend of Zelda for the NES.

* In Chapter 10, when Xiaomu meets V-Dural again, Xiaomu comments that the robot chick probably still hasn't managed to [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} find Sarah Connor]].

* When paired up with Hibana, Xiaomu tells her to "set her shuriken to zero", to which she replies that she needs them with Reiji adding that life doesn't have cheat codes like that: this is a reference to a recurring ''VideoGame/Shinobi'' cheat code that involves going to the options menu, setting the default amount of shuriken to 00 and waiting a few seconds, which changes the 00 into an infinity symbol and thus gives you an infinite amount of them.

* At one point, Xiaomu says "Relax. [[VideoGame/StarTropics Stick some bananas in your ears and practice your yo-yo or something.]]" This is one of a bare handful of acknowledgements ''StarTropics'' has ''ever'' gotten in another game.

* Reiji and Xiaomu's intro is exactly like Rom Stoll from MachineRobo, with the asking who is it and show yourself. To be fair, Reiji's [[ActorAllusion a walking, talking]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLQ4qR7MpCQ Rom Stoll ]] reference anyway.

** Really, Half of Reiji's quotes are either references to [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars Kyosuke Nanbu]] or [[MachineRobo Rom Stoll]]. It would take half of the page to quote them all. But here's a couple of them:

* At the end of the GhostsAndGoblins level, Arthur holds the key to the huge gate they got from beating the Stehoneys and exclaims "Open up! I have a key for getting in!", a reference to the phrase mangled by GoodBadTranslation in most of the games that pops up whenever you defeat a level boss.

* Reiji and Xiaomu's intro is exactly like Rom Stol from MachineRobo, with the asking who is it and show yourself. To be fair, Reiji's [[ActorAllusion a walking, talking]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLQ4qR7MpCQ Rom Stol ]] reference anyway.

** The entirety of that scene is one big ShoutOut to [[spoiler: Iris's death scene]] from ''VideoGame/MegaManX4'', even reusing some of the scene's lines such as "Iris, there's no world just for Reploids, it's only a fantasy", and of course, "What am I fighting for?!"

** The item that heal all the party for 100% is [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha "Kusuha Juice"]]

* In chapter 21, when Xiaomu suggests looking for inscrutable signs, the examples she brings up are "The dangling Fishwife" and "The Two-Tailed Fox".

* In Chapter 5, Xiaomu says in response to the weird stuff happening: "I didn't expect today to turn into [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Xiaomu's Bizarre Adventure]]."

** Chapter 1: [[AliceAllusion Arisu]] [[Literature/AliceInWonderland in Chainland]]

* During his attack animation, CaptainCommando summons the assistance of Michelle Heart from ''VideoGame/LegendaryWings'', Cyber Blue from ''VideoGame/BattleCircuit'' and the Colonel and Sargent {{Space Fighter}}s from ''Exed Exes''.

* When paired, Maya, Xiaomu, and Reiji each recite a line from the Steel Samurai opening, a ShowWithinAShow in ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney''.

-->'''Reiji''': ''[During a Counter Attack]'' You came too close to me! (Kyosuke would say the exact same thing in 2nd Super Robot Taisen OG on PS3 during a counter attack.)

* In Chapter 9, Haseo remarks that the level designers might have put an event trigger in the next area. Xiaomu wonders if it is one that makes Ingrid old and wrinkly. [[IncrediblyLamePun A]] [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger crone-o-trigger]]!

* At one point, they come across the Great Oak Tree, and Xiaomu wonders if they are suddenly in a VideoGame/{{maple story}}? A pine chronicle? A spruce saga?
