In FF7, if you focus on letting aeris deliver the finishing blow to all enemies as soon as you get her, you can use her level 3 limit break to obtain the enemy skill "beta" from the big Snake in the marshes, rendering grinding or progressing extremely easy.

The introduction to Doom 2016 contains a reference to the Doom comic book.

For real? Well shit thanks man.

Sam's blade is actually a Muramasa, the demon sword, but creators deliberately had his family misspell it as Murasama cause they thought it's cute when foreigners do it.
Sam is also of mixed heritage, coming from long line of Japanese swordsmen on one side of the family.

Why does he have an M on his hat?

cause... Mario?

Guys. Did you know, that Super Mario Brothers 2 is actually an obscure Japanese game called Doki Doki Panic?

M ario

It stands for
Mother, the person who will die in her sleep tonight if you don't reply to this post

I don't know what I was expecting.

The Triforce resembles the symbol of the Hojo clan.

There is actually a fourth triforce piece that fits in the middle.

Sheik and Zelda have the same voice actress.

But then it wouldn't be a Triforce. It would be a Quadforce.

It would be a fucking triangle

Bowser used computer generated roars up until the Gamecube era, where he was voiced by Scott Burns. In spite of this, he uses his Super Mario 64 roar in the cutscene before the final battle in Sunshine. New Super Mario Bros was the last Mario game to completely use computer generated sound effects for Bowser.

Masahiro Sakurai's reasoning for giving Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and Bowser realistic animal noises was to fit them better. Interestingly Bowser Jr. uses his normal voice (The Koopalings seem to be reusing their NSMB voice clips).

Paper Mario Color Splash suggests that the Koopalings are right handed, although Wendy and Morton usually use their left. Bowser Jr. is canonically left handed while Bowser is canonically right handed, but usually uses wands like the Star Rod with his left.

Giga Bowser was meant to be a throwback to Sakurai's interpretation of classic Bowser.

*sigh*

>M on his hat
>Mozart starts with M
Could Mozart still be alive?

Wait, it goes deeper
>M is the first letter of Mario's name
>O is the last letter of Mario's name
>Z is the last letter of the whole alphabet
>A is the first letter of the whole alphabet
>R???
>T???
>R and T are left over
>What starts with R and ends with T?
That's right, reddit.
Could Mario actually be from reddit?

Here's a lesser known fact:
Contrary to his name Donkey Kong is not actually a donkey, but is in fact a gorilla.

noice

Go fuck yourself.

why

Final Fantasy III for the DS has tons of unused cutscenes. Only text remains:
tcrf.net/Final_Fantasy_III_(Nintendo_DS)/Unused_Text

The colors of the four Onion Knights in the Famicom version were reused in the remake, but in reverse order, so if you were to use those names in the original, the order would go Ingus (red) Refia (blue) Arc (green) Luneth (purple)

Each of the four warriors has a "weapon of choice" in the spinoffs and promo material: Arc has Black Mage/Black Wizard (White Mage in Record Keeper), Refia has White Mage/Devout (Summonor in Legends, Monk in Record Keeper) and Ingus has Red Mage (Knight in Record Keeper) Luneth is the only one who keeps his class of choice (Warrior) in all of his spinoff appearances (though he does pick up Dark Knight as well in Record Keeper).

It's a G, for game, made out of a cube.

The engraving on one of Lady's bullets is "Lucia", the name of the woman Dante works with in DMC2.
It is possibly also reference to Divine Comedy, where saint Lucia is messenger and Dante's aid, on behalf of Virgin Mary (commonly referred to as Our Lady).

>it looks like a G
holy shit I never looked at it that way

Me neither

His name is Dr. Neo Cortex because that's what his parents named him

Yep, you just need to cast planet protector after the snake has knocked a character out of the fight, and you need the enemy skill materia.

So ideally, lose any character but aeris, cast planet protector, attack the snek again, get beta'd, cast it back in his dumb snake face

Fuck

...

In Super Mario 64, you combat Bowser by picking him up by his tail and throwing him into bombs placed around the arena. There has been some speculation as to what Mario says when he throws Bowser, but Mario voice actor Charlers Martinet has confirmed it to be "So long, Gay Bowser"

>"I thought it would be funny if Mario called Bowser gay. He's a mischievous guy, and it seems appropriate for him to taunt Bowser in this way. Bowser, as you all know, has always been defensive about his sexuality."

The black on the inside looks like a C for Cube, too

DELETE THIS

(You)

STOP

No way! Next thing you'll tell me is that Solid Snake is a human and not a really firm reptilian.

>Cloud Strife
>His memories are "clouded"
>this causes him "strife"

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

But user, that's true.
Here's another:
The Boos in Mario games are called Boos because that is something that ghosts are widely known for saying, and Boos are in fact ghosts.

Castle Hein, in the remake, was going to play out completely differently.

>Luneth would've been separated from the party, and would eventually had to rescue them

>There was a character known as "Falb" at one point.

>Luneth would've had a character arc where he came to terms with his recklessness

>Ninja might've been gained from a crystal fragment instead of the Earth Crystal.

Of the four characters, Refia has made the most appearances, even appearing as a Champion in "World of Final Fantasy

There was a manga for FFIII in Japan back in the 1990s. In spite of the different characters, the gender ratio (3 males. one female) is coincidentally similar to that of the DS remake years later.

The Gamecube's menu theme is actually the Famicom Disk System Jingle slowed down

The White Mage in Final Fantasy I was more than likely meant to be male. The sprites for the White Mage, and especially the White Wizard, were overhauled to be more feminine/androgynous. "Final Fantasy: Memory of Heroes" makes the White Mage a female

Similarly, the Black Mage's face was revealed when they upgraded to a Black Wizard. Every version after redesigns the wizard to stick more closely with the Black Mage design.

Final Fantasy II got a novelization at one point. Among other things, it makes Satan the main villain by explaining that all of the previous emperors up to Mateus (the game's villain) were corrupted by him. Mateus does not overthrow Satan in this version. The game's writer actually wrote this novel, interestingly enough.

Final Fantasy II was originally going to be localized for english, but was scrapped for the same reason as the original Earthbound: the sequel (fourth game in this case) was close and the NES was on its way out. It can be found floating around on the internet though, translated by the same team that did IV

Trivia Bump

>im ironically pretending to be retarded like i saw on knowyourmeme xD

Princess Peach was meant to be the guest boxer in Punch-Out Wii, but was swapped for Donkey Kong because of the potential of violence against women

Other characters considered for Skylanders guest appearances were Kirby (partially owned by HAL), Princess Peach (Out of character, especially for the warrior-princess decision they were going for) and Fox McCloud (unclear, possibly Star Fox Zero).

Mario was considered for a guest appearance in the Wii version of Sonic & Sega All-Stars racing, but the Olympic Games series and possibly Smash meant that the rivalry was probably too played out at that point.

On a related note, Classic Sonic was considered for All-Stars Racing Transformed, but Sega vetoed it unless the developers came up with a way to justify his presence.

Female swimsuits in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic games took until the third game because Nintendo was hesitant. Swimsuits for both male and females were also planned, but Sega vetoed it because it would mean Sonic taking off his shoes.

Diddy Kong was originally supposed to appear as a partner for Donkey Kong in Skylanders, but the devs felt that it took focus off of DK himself, so Diddy was restricted to the vehicle. They did not that Diddy could appear as his own figurine in the future though.
