List of guest characters in video games
In video games, the term guest character,[1] guest star[2] or guest fighter[3] denotes a playable character whose inclusion in that video game's roster does not follow the template set by the majority of the other characters (for non-playable characters this applies to, see Cameo appearance).
The premise of a playable character straying from a general theme may, for example, include the introduction of real-life personalities to a roster of fictional characters or the blending of characters originating from a different series, franchise or medium entirely (see crossovers in video games). In the case of specific crossovers already being the main theme (e.g. Street Fighter x Tekken), guest characters may be those who do not fit within that theme (in the given example, playable character Pac-Man originates from neither Tekken nor Street Fighter).[4]
Commercial use[edit]
Guest stars have in the past not only served to stir up conversation (either due to the unexpectedness of a revealed guest character or in the form of speculation concerning potential upcoming guest characters),[5] but also make use of the "Come for the X, stay for the Y" trope, meaning their purpose is to appeal to audiences usually not interested in their product by including a character popular within that audience.
In cases of console-exclusive guest stars, depending on their general recognisability or popularity within that console's fan base might seriously impact the performance of that version. An example of this is the Nintendo GameCube version of SoulCalibur II, which prominently featured Link from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series in its marketing, leading it to outperform the Xbox and PlayStation 2 versions despite their larger install bases and the general perception that the GameCube controller was not suited for traditional fighting games.[6]
Guest characters[edit]
If applicable, this list only includes characters officially licensed to appear as guests, excluding guest characters in fan games or those added via mods, as well as costumes or skins for already existing characters.
Some characters may only be available as downloadable content or in certain versions of a video game. These are denoted in superscript behind that character's name.
