Dead Rising.

Must. Play.

* Dead Rising alludes to the original Resident Evil game in the name of a sandwich bar, "Jill's Sandwiches". This is based on Barry's infamous line in Resident Evil, "You were almost a Jill Sandwich!"
* One of the "Achievements" in Dead Rising, "Zombie Genocider", is unlocked if the player kills 53,594 zombies. The unusual number is announced in the opening cutscene as the population of Willamette, Colorado, where the game takes place.
* A costume that resembles the famous Capcom character Mega Man is available when the player earns the "Punisher" and "Unbreakable" achivements.
* Mega Man's Helmet and Mega Buster (which shoots tennis balls) can be found in the movie theater gift shop.
* Earning the "Zombie Genocider" achievement unlocks Mega Man's real Mega Buster, the most powerful weapon in the game.
* A section of the mall is called "Movieland", a reference to Capcom's Viewtiful Joe series.
* One of the movies listed in the cinema in the mall is "Mega Man 2", a direct reference to the game of the same name.
* A Mega Man Legends reference is themed around the Servbots. The player can place various "Novelty Masks" over zombies to distract them, the Servbots being one type of head.
* One of the articles of clothing that is unlocked by earning the "7-Day Survivor" achievement is a pair of boxers with red hearts, similar to the ones worn by the unarmored Arthur in the Capcom game Ghosts 'n Goblins.
* Frank West's watch's brand is "Megaman," visible on the face of the watch.
