Are you referring to the extra scene with the robot or the even later extra showing one more credit?:o Whoa that's pretty cool! I will say that secret post credit ending is pretty mindblowing. Scary as Hell when I first discovered it.
Because Nintendo controlled the production of all cartridges, it was able to enforce strict rules on its third-party developers, which were required to sign a contract by Nintendo that would obligate these parties to develop exclusively for the system, order at least 10,000 cartridges, and only make five games per year.
Holy shit, bookmark'd
Ecco the Dolphin had aliens because it was inspired by John C. Lilly and the studies of Margaret Howe Lovatt, who allegedly had sex with dolphins. Or jerked off one or something.
The name is based around the fact that Lily, while on drugs and in an isolation chamber, was contacted by an extra-terrestial entity called the Earth Coincidence Control Office also known as ECCO.
Margaret wanted to prove that dolphins could learn human speech but giving them LSD did not work.
John C. Lilly was so crazy. He and a group of his friends tried to find alien life by using radio waves and called themselves The Order of the Dolphin. Ecco the Dolphin's connection to a crazy scientist is probably my favorite crazy story in the entire industry. The dude was just hyped up on drugs and was trying to prove that dolphins were more intelligent than humans and that it was possible for interspecies communication. When he made no progress with that, he moved on to aliens.

I mean, all those drugs are probably why Ecco had a bunch of crazy powers.
Shoukd be noted this is not true in the PAL version, where it was fixed.In the original Super Smash Brothers Melee, the Princess Daisy trophy had a mysterious third eye on the back of its head.

The Dreamcast entry was always fairly weak, if you're curious its the Sega CD versions of the first entry and The Tides of Time that are worth checking out, they both have improvements over their Genesis counterparts like re-balanced difficulty, additional checkpoints, several additional levels, FMV cutscenes and absolutely incredible soundtracks.I almost spit my coffee on my screen XD I never had the chance to play a single Ecco game even if i wanted too. How is the dreamcast version by today standarts ? Still fun ?
In RE4 you can combine treasures and sell them at a higher price
It doesn't really blow my mind, but I like the fact Yasumi Matsuno wrote the story for MadWorld. It's fun trivia.
I love when people have surprising career trajectories.
Edit:
Shinji Mikami was an EP on the first Ace Attorney
The story for Bulletstorm was written by one of my favorite comic writers, Rick Remender
Anna Gunn (Skyler White on Breaking Bad) played a character in the Soul Reaver games
Yeah, I just like interesting career moments lol
In the interests of archival I ought to copy over my posts from the other place, but I wrote up this on over there, too. One thing that this article doesn't touch on is that Ultima VI also takes a few potshots at EA.
Me said:It happens that Richard Garriott is not fond of Trip Hawkins, founder of Electronic Arts. It's been said that his attitude to craft and worldbuilding goes at odds with EA's all-business approach. In Ultima VI, there's a major plotline about the treasure map of one Captain Hawkins; as his gravestone says, "Here lies Captain Hawkins. He died a hard death and he deserved it". There's other pirates in the game also based on EA employees: Joe Ybarra, Stewart Bonn, Bing Gordon. At the end of Ultima VI, Britannia is somewhat stable and contented. Peace and prosperity are thriving.

Metal Gear Solid 2 has a tiptoe mechanic.
I didn't know about this for a decade. I discovered it while playing the PS3 or Vita version on Hard. There's only one section in the entire game that requires it, and difficulties below Hard never require it.
I know this is a joke post and it's like super obvious trivia but i genuinely never put this together and I feel dumb as hellDid you know that F Zero is a reference to Formula One?
Mind blown.

That's good to know because I'm planning to play RE4 in the near future....for the first time :)

And is also the narrator of Bit.Trip Runner 2!Charles "Mario" Martinet voices Homunculus in Shadow of Memories/Shadow of Destiny on PS2.
wtfI posted this in the old thread but might as well bring it back here for a new era.
Quistis wears pants over shoes not knee high boots. It's nothing major but I know a lot of people who mistake her as wearing knee high boots.
Oh man, I just love RE4. I remember playing it for the first time, what an experience it was.
Enjoy it!
Eight of the ten developers that worked on Goldeneye 007 had never worked on a game before. How they managed to make one of the console's killer apps is beyond me.
That's precisely why it was good. They used people with fresh minds who didn't have preconceived limits and "game designer" brains, hence the maps being like proper places not Doom WADs.I'm not sure what's more insane to me: the fact that 8/10 of the developers had never worked on a game before, or the fact that only 10 developers made the game...
what O_O
This is the original mindblowing fact. Thread isn't complete without it

I don't think he is wearing jeans. It's supposed to be like baggy military pants since you can see it hangs out and most of his official designs ignoring Dissidia have him with baggy black pants. It might just be the character model that makes it look weird while Quistis in official designs has pants over shoes.Likewise, Squall seems to be wearing dark blue jeans, not black leather pants.
It's a bit more visible in cutscenes if you look closely.
Here are a few little facts I read on a gaming site a while ago that shocked me a little.
The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Exists Because Of A Bet
Donkey Kong 64 Only Came With An Expansion Pack Because Of A Fatal Programming Flaw
