Links to other series
Note: video game characters appearing "alive" in the movie create an in-universe link, while arcade cabinets that only appear as such only create a sub-universe link, because they only appear as games within the movie.
Also note that since some characters or games in the movie were created as original and generic, it's inevitable that they feature some traits similar to existing series, but those are not considered direct references. Most notably Hero's Duty is considered a generic sci-fi first-person shooter, and while it features elements from existing games it does so exclusively because it's of the same genre.
