Well, in reality, it's not a match with a lot of connections, just a cool theme.

Two cybernetic warriors who wield tons of different weapons, but favouring swords above all others. Both originate from action games developed by Platinum. In both games, the protagonist receives assistance from robotic entities (Blade Wolf for Raiden, and Pascal and the Pods for 2B), command centers, and a lone wolf-type of rival (Jetstream Sam for Raiden, and A2 for 2B).

There's probably more, but I haven't unearthed them all yet.
