In Shin Megami Tensei : Devil Summoner, the demon named 'Patriot' is a mindless empty-headed gun-wielding zombie draped in the American flag. This is a very subtle political metaphor.

In Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Rex says that Tora looks like Poppi’s little Teddy Bear. This confirms that Teddy Bears existed on Alrest and thus Teddy Roosevelt is canon to Xenoblade, though it still doesn’t explain why he didn’t intervene when Bionis and the Mechonis were fighting.

In Sid Meier's Civilization IV, sacrificing population for production with Slavery is one of the most powerful civics which remains viable long into the game. Enslaving people also helps in city happiness and health management. This is a reference to Civ4 understanding the 4X gamer grindset.

In Sonic Adventure 2 (2001), Tails was never born and he was born nowhere. This may explain why he was depicted as immortal in earlier games, as something that was never truly born can never truly die.

In Sonic the Hedgehog 2, 3, & Knuckles (as well as certain ports of Sonic 1 where Tails is included, and later Mania), if you choose to play as Sonic and Tails as a duo, Tails will be able to infinitely take damage and respawn. This is explained in Sonic Adventure 2, where it is revealed in Tails' level 'Mission Street' that he is an ageless being incapable of death.

In Battlefield 4, your character has awful posture. This is because the devs wanted to match how you look IRL so that you feel more connected to your character.
