    They don't show any gameplay footage, the screen is just blue. The music playing is a slightly different version of some background music from an earlier episode of evangelion, so Asuka's probably playing one of the many evangelion games.

    I just googled "drew carey saturn." :specialed: I would have liked to have found a better quality image but I couldn't be bothered.

    How could I forget this!

    In the anime series "Genshiken", some characters are playing Puyo Puyo Fever on a PS2. They even talk about it, Its kinda important for the plot of that episode.

    They also play Guilty Gear, a LOT, but that's Sammy :P

    Any of the UKers remember "Dr.Zitbag's Transylvanian Petshop"?

    There was an episode where Dr.Zitbag was playing a game called Chronic the Warthog!

    Pretty sure they helped out until episode 20. Some bitter fans talked about it once over at eva geeks. Though I haven't been on that scene for awhile to know for sure.

    Most of those that I know have already been said. :P

    In the movie Airheads, the security guard is playing a Sega Game Gear with Sonic the Hedgehog on it.
     
  7. He also briefly had a Dreamcast. I only remember for sure seeing it in one episode-- some episode about some monkey and I think Diedrach Bader's character and the monkey were holding Dreamcast controllers.

    It was both reasons. He said something along the lines of
    "Stevie has all the games I always wanted to play...when I was four." But I last saw the episode a couple of years ago, so I'm not exactly sure.

    Actually the Okama Gamesphere popped up after the Dreamcast reference - I can only assume that Nintendo must have made noises about not wanting to be on South Park as a Nintendo system wasn't actually mentioned by name until the episode where Cartman freezes himself to avoid the 3 week wait for a Wii =P
     
  10. There's this Yu-Gi-Oh card, I guess. Looks like a Dreamcast controller, has three buttons like Genesis/Mega Drive controller.

    Oh yeah Enemy Controller, I have that card. So does my friend and it looks more like a Saturn controller though when I first saw it I thought it looked more like a Mega Drive controller. :\

    The dreamcastiness comes from the cord from the bottom, but it is a bit of a stretch.

    I'm working on conept art for a fan comic.
    I still like to think that Syndrome from the Incredibles was based off of Purge.


    But that's just me.

    Heres one: In a Strong Bad E-mail [google if you haven'tseen the webtoon before], Homestar takes Strongbad's place, and answers an e-mail asking if he has ever "made anything out of anything" [err... something like that anyways] - Homestar cheerfully states hat he made coasters out of olf "SEGA tapes" [cuts to a shot of SEGA cartridge-like things on a table, with drinks on top of them]

    There was an episode of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius where the title card parodied the sega logo.

    I remember this, although I don't remember the entire episode. I just know that there was a pyramid shaped game console that Jimmy made.

    It's very common to see (semi-) product placements in the original series: DHL, Yobitsu, UCC, etc. With the Rebuild films, there's a lot more with the inclusion of Doritos, Pizza Hut, and Lawsons.

    As for Sega, I can't think of references to the company itself but in The Simpsons Game, there's a level later in the game where Sonic is walking exhaustively in a hamster wheel.

    Yep. He says these things:

    "nobody remembers but the 90's were great!"

    "That shadow version of me, nicest guy in the world, misunderstood!"

    "I forget why I hated Eggman so much"

    "I can't spin anymore ...ooh my back!"

    "I used to be so ...fast!"
