Leon Kennedy, protagonist of Resident Evil 4 (Biohazard 4, for you folks across the pond) is actually two small children in a suit who tried to get a free trip to Spain but got way more than they bargained for. The Octorocs from the original Zelda on the NES actually just throw rocks at you with their human arms, but NES graphics weren't sophisticated enough to display this. This was later retconned. The hyphen in "Banjo-Kazooie" was actually Kazooie's idea, as she didn't want to lose her family name after the marriage mario likes tto gently caress Post some more exciting facts |

Mr. Splinter Cell from the Splinter Cell games wears a nightlight because he's afraid of the dark. In the original Animal Crossing, if you tried to reset it again during Mr. Resetti's speech, Mrs. Resetti would come out and tell you your parents were very disappointed in you. The Game Genie was actually invented by a guy named "Gene" and magic isn't real. |

If you drop a dreamcast in the tub you get transported into sonic and everyone is your friend even your dad Hyrule is actually a contested strip of land bordering Afghanistan. If you show up with a sword and say the password "kcuf ott ekil knil" the guards are honorbound to let you pass If you input the konami code on mario's nipples in super mario odyssey, you get thirty real friends in real life Billy Hatcher was originally Margaret Thatcher, but the name was changed to avoid controversey In the Japanese release of Persona 4, every character ends their sentences by screaming "PERSONA" as loud as they can, even in quiet intimate scenes. This feature was not carried over to the english translation. In SMash Brother Melee, if you do 999 damage to sandbag in home run derby, he starts to cry out the name of his lover through tear-clouded eyes

It's called "Final" Fantasy because one of the developers really liked eggs (it's a pun in japanese) Sonic donates half the rings he collects on every level to childrens' hospitals all around the globe, but doesn't brag about it Solid Snake worked at a McDonalds before his career in video games, until a producer noticed his good looks and voice and signed him a deal with konami as an action hero Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is actually a metaphor for clitoris

My cousin told me if you press the B button every 3 seconds a thousand times on the title screen of Luigi's mansion it unlocks a secret nude mode. Shigero Miyamoto came up with the idea for the Virtual Boy while having a fever dream in a Malaysian airport. Witnesses said the Shigs appeared to be dehydrated and disheveled and just kept muttering "kill the eyes" over and over. Donkey Kong was going through a bad divorce and taking a lot of heroin at time the DK rap was being recorded. Studio execs auto-tuned out all the times DK nods off in the song and released the rap anyway, note for tortured note.

In Fifa '18, if one player is consistently picked last to go in for 300 games in a row, they eventually stop showing up. On the 299th game you can actually see them crying. Diddy Kong Racing was originally titled as "Diddy Kong Racing Is Better Than Mario Kart, gently caress You Nintendo, gently caress You Sega" but this error was caught four days before release and Phil was fired. King Toadstool and Queen Toadstool do exist, but Peach has never met them. She talks to a painting imbued with their image and power deep in her castle and receives answers and guidance through the flight patterns of birds that she sees out her window. She is a terrible ruler and it's honestly no wonder her citizens are often in open revolt.

video games were originally a cia experiment to develop mind control during the 60's. they would actually kidnap disenfrancized american citizens like homeless and keep them playing pong for up to 72 hours a session. the victims that were eventually released were dismissed as mentally ill until the opening of those archives proved everything.. chilling stuff.. some say that they actually succeeded and that certain franchises today are actually owned by the cia |

an interesting historical fact is that video games had actually been invented in the antique world - homer is the earliest written reference to them, in odyssey; "games of video has powers to draw a man to ruin". later archeology has even discovered the remains of a fully functional pac man-like in anatolia (todays turkey) crafted from bronze. unfortunatly it seems that the ancient greeks never saw the real potential for video games, where the most popular forms for entertainment of the age remained drama and speeches. vidya would be confined to some specific temples, and with the decline of antique civilization the art of viedo games would eventually be lost completely to time, until it was independently re-invented over 2000 years later |

the rarest video games have not been formed on earth, but rather ended up here due to asteroid impacts, solar particles and so on. most of these are very unstable as well and as a consequence only trace amounts of these vidya are ever found in nature. |

Sleeping dogs was originally a Nintendogs sequel where you tuck cute little doggos into beds for their nap time. However the game went through development hell for over 5 years and switched studios countless times. By the time the game was finally released it was a gta style crime drama set in the gritty streets of Hong Kong. The game title was never changed out of respect for the dogs.

The Pokemon games (gen one) had a secret mode where two players could play together with their cables. One was [Ash] and the other played as [Gary]. Neither knew where the other was or what they were doing, until they met up and fought each other. This code was largely dummied out. Gary was rewritten as an NPC and the rest of the junk code later contributed to the Missingno glitch |

Super Mario Brothers 2 was originally released in Japan as The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum's Quest but was localized for american audiences because j.r.r. tolkien had not yet been invented Duck Hunt was supposed to be titled Duck, C**t but a transcription error sent HUNT to the printers instead. the laughing dog is the c**t if you took every nintendo wii sold and laid them end to end around the globe, most of them would sink in the ocean and you'd get frustrated |

The Rareware game "Conker's Bad Fur Day" was never released due to delays and the end of the N64 production cycle. No one outside of a handful of Rare and Nintendo employees and a few game reviewers have ever played it, but prerelease hype and accounting errors created confusion in the public. To this day, you will meet people who swear their friend or a friend of a friend owned Conker's, but, like cow tipping and other urban myths, none of them saw it first hand. |

The dogs in the original MSX Metal Gear were modeled on a Doberman named Snake. The dog suffocated in a cardboard box in a tragic accident as motion capture filming wrapped up, so they made Snake (you, the player) sneak around in boxes in a fitting tribute. The character Snake was already named Snake, though. That had nothing to do with Snake the Dog. |

there are tiny windmills inside NES cartridges that provide the energy to make the video game characters move. that is why you need to blow inside them every now and again. super mario brothers was created by accident because a scientist trying to synthesize rubber left the computer running overnight by mistake. |
