*Ghost in the Shell- Directors Kazuchika Kise and Mamoru Ishii played a great deal of ''[[Virtua Fighter 2]]'' during the movie's production. Per Oshii, “When people ask about Ghost, I actually think of VF2”. This led to Motoko Kusanagi using Lau’s Renkan Tenshinkyaku (PPPK) in the Water Fight scene. (The reference here also includes an excellent pre-production sketch showing the inspiration more.){{ref|https://www.destructoid.com/--534711.phtml}}

You can also see it around 14:20. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p06Ms35bkQ{{ref|https://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4261&start=80#p160518}}

  • Malcolm in the Middle - A Dreamcast box is seen in a background shot.[4]
  • Ben-To - apparently has four total episodes dedicated to VF2/The Saturn (eps. 3, 4, 8, and 9)[6]
  • X-Files - Season 3 Episode 3 where Mulder and Scully investigate a series of lightning-related deaths in a small town. Mulder finds the murder suspect’s high scores as DPO on the VF2 arcade machine.[6] (I think this is the same one with the GHZ arcade music...)
  • MTV Cribs (Redman) - Dreamcast[5]
  • MTV Cribs - Wu Tang Clan playing some DoA game
  • MTV Cribs - another episode where some football or basketball player had a Dreamcast because Sega Sports gave him one. He was apparently a featured player in one of those games (I don't remember exactly). Or maybe I just made that up and it was the Redman one that I saw lol.
  • Bodacious Space Pirates - Unknown reference[4]
  • Subway commercial - Unknown reference
  • Honto ni Anna! Reibai Sensei - A reference From episode 6.[7]
  • Gantz - Kaze does one of Akira’s moves to kill a demon. Additionally, Takeshi gets killed by an abusive boyfriend, only to play VF4.[6]
  • Air Master - Ep 1, 17, 18 references[6]
  • Homestar Runner - In a Strong Bad email, Homestar takes Strongbad's place and answers an email asking if he has ever "made anything out of anything". Homestar cheerfully states that he made coasters out of old "SEGA tapes", and the short cuts to a shot of Mega Drive-like cartridges with drinks resting on them.
  • Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius - an episode where the title card parodies the Sega logo.
  • Squid Girl - episode 4: It's clearly Columns. Ep 10: Streets of Rage. EPxx: Bonanza Bros
  • World God Only Knows - episode 12. SAGA SATURN and Cream cast. Later on in the episode there's a Mega Five. It's hard to think of a console not mentioned/spoofed in this episode.
  • Bob's Burgers - Season 5 Episode 9 "Speakeasy Rider" reference
  • Gintama - there have been a couple of times where it references SEGA from what I've watched. First one is this from an arc where the cast tries to win a Bentendo OwEe: Second reference was this, in which Gintoki and Zura are turned into old men: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9ukgb_gintama-parodies-megadrive-owners_fun Which becomes a running joke with old Gintoki saying "In the end, you played the Mega Drive too" throughout the episode.[8]

  • Can Can Bunny - Ep 4some reference
  • "Malaki animation" - Mega Drive reference
