Also, the moon (Iori), flames (Kyo), The power wave (Terry), Kasumi's fan, Shermies kiss, Blue Mary's Rose, not sure about the spinning fan, might be Choi, and the lightning ???

    This is what I love the most about Cuphead; how it's basically one big tribute/nostalgia trip for the things the creators love, while at the same time being its own thing. Yes, some of the references are more obvious than others, but I honestly think this is a cool way to pay homage to things - not directly copying, but using the thing your taking inspiration from as a kind of starting point, and creating something from that. The end result can be anything from almost exactly similar to something where you need to be told what they were referencing to see where the link actually is. This won't happen for years, but I plan on doing a similar thing on a game I plan on making (it's not a Run and Gun, though. It's a PlayStation 1 and 2 era Final Fantasy style RPG.) I plan on doing the Cuphead thing, and taking inspiration from various things, mostly video games and animations that I have a nostalgic attachment to - the only thing is this will be a wider range than just "30s-ish cartoons and 80s-ish videogames, as I have a nostalgic attachment for many animations and games, some being pretty new (like this decade.)

    Arcade Freak 2016 Most likely getting a psychical version. Already at the sales level that digital games traditionally get boxed versions, ala Rocket League, Ori & The Blind Forest, Minecraft (360), etc. More a question of when then if. Some studios do it immediately once certain sales thresholds are reached, while others wait to package it with DLC and extra content and bonuses.
