As Vert explains the different types of action games, she mentions the following genres, with each one referencing a respective video game:
- 2D side-scroller: Super Mario Bros.
- Fighting: Street Fighter
- Games that use weapons to defeat waves of enemies: Dynasty Warriors
The Goddesses' horror action game featuring zombies is a reference to Resident Evil.
The planned city name "Bermuda", in which Noire mentions that it sounds like an artist's name, is a reference to Bermuda Saimaru, an illustrator for Hyperdimension Neptunia: Megami Tsuushin.

Neptune's idea for an RPG where the character is not interested in anything at all, and the heroine dying halfway through with a scene where she is submerged into water, are references to Final Fantasy VII.
