Guest Fighter: Difference between revisions

* [[Limp Bizkit]] frontman Fred Durst is a playable character in ''[[WWF]] Smackdown: Just Bring It!'' Rumor has it, this was one of the conditions for allowing the developers to use the song "Rollin'", which was Undertaker's entrance theme at the time, in the game.

** Durst was also featured as an unlockable character in [[The Problem with Licensed Games|the ill-advised fighting game adaptation]] of ''[[Fight Club]]''.

** ''WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011'' also features Rob Van Dam, who hadn't been in WWE for a couple of years prior to the game beginning development and, indeed, signed with [[TNA]] shortly after its release. He's listed as a "Free Agent", not as a Legend (the only other characters so designated are the Red and Green demonstration models, Paul Bearer, and the Undertaker's druid). Apparently, the dev team were just really big RVD fans and wanted to use him in the game very badly.

** ''WWE 12'' featured the returns of [[Brock Lesnar]] and [[Eddie Guerrero]].

* [[God of War (series)|Kratos]] again in the [[PlayStation]] 3 version of ''[[Mortal Kombat 9]]''. Given that ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' is set in a multiverse and and has a penchant for gore-tastic fighting, Kratos fits right in.

** And [[A Nightmare on Elm Street|Freddy Krueger]] also appears as a DLC character.

* [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud, Tifa, Yuffie, Vincent, Zack, and Sephiroth]] (the latter two making their first playable appearances) in ''[[Ehrgeiz]]'', plus the final boss's first form looks suspiciously similar to Red XIII. Incidentally, this was the [[Just Here for Godzilla|only reason]] most people bought the game.

* Cole McGrath of ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]]'' joins the cast of ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken]]'' on [[Play Station 3]] and [[Play Station Vita]].

* [[What Could Have Been]] example: the developers of the Wii port of ''[[Marvel Ultimate Alliance]]'' considered putting [[The Legend of Zelda|Link]] and [[Metroid|Samus]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwElEsHkk_A&feature=related as] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opkOtApoqqI characters].

* One mission in ''[[Warcraft]] III'' is infamous for having a [[StarCraft|Hydralisk]] you can add to your forces. The character models for Terran Marines and Zerglings are also available.

* ''[[Track and Field|New International Track & Field]]'' is a sports game for the [[Nintendo DS]]. The characters are big-headed and [[Super-Deformed]], and overall it has a kiddie aesthetic. It was also published by [[Konami]], who thought it a good idea to put a bunch of their characters in it. These vary from the fitting, such as the mascot of a Pro Baseball series with similar styling, to the somewhat out there but not terrible weird, like [[Castlevania|Simon Belmont]] and [[Rocket Knight Adventures|Sparkster]], to completely family-'''un'''friendly characters like [[Silent Hill|Pyramid Head]] and [[Rumble Roses|Evil Rose]].

* Due to being released by [[LucasArts]], [[Star Wars|Han Solo]] and [[Indiana Jones]] skins are available to any character (even the girl) in the first ''[[Mercenaries]]'' game.

* In ''Hot Shots Tennis: Get a Grip'', you can play as one of the Helghast from ''[[Killzone]]'' (and recruit another as an umpire), but you have to [[Defeat Means Playable|beat them first]].

* [[Bayonetta]] is a Guest fighter in ''[[Anarchy Reigns]]'' if you pre order the game from Japan.
