The Lost Vikings 2 on SNES has a “you suck” mode that gives all your characters extra powers (like shooting fireballs) if you find a way to kill a Viking in the tutorial level, which is harder than it sounds.

Arrhythmia posted:Expert version of this: the powerup jingle is the end of level jingle sped up a billion times. I only found out about that a few months ago and it blew my drat mind. They did a great job of recycling the sounds in ways that arent recognizable ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:More of a tech/bug thing rather than some hidden mechanic but the strength of gravity in Doom for PlayStation is tied to the framerate! Lower framerates (encountered in such levels as MAP25 which has some horrendous slowdown) result in weaker gravity, whereas higher framerates have you hitting the ground fast. Overclocking the CPU (to keep the game running at the intended 30fps) keeps the gravity effect constant (duh), and with a somewhat higher pull than the PC original. Here I am loving around to show this bug/useless info in action. This probably has the unintended side-effect where some maps requiring ledge-leaping to progress can't be completed unless there's slowdown, but I haven't bothered testing it that much yet. The original dark souls on PC was also like this. If you installed whatever that mod was that let you set your own frame rate and set it to 60, you can’t make certain jumps like the one in sens fortress from the bridge to the tower thing where the vendor NPC is.

The Kins posted:in the original design for max payne, instead of the gimmick being "going into matrix slow motion" it was "injecting a drug that temporarily transforms you into a mutant hulk". but then a publishing exec pointed out that the slow motion stuff that they'd implemented for testing visual effects and stuff was way more interesting Whoa

the development history of all of remedies games always seem like a convoluted mess until some exec steps in and tells them what the hell theyre need to do to make a playable game lol. alan wake was supposed to be completely open world with in game time that transitions smoothly between day and night and didnt feature the burn out enemies with light mechanic at all

Tekken Tag Tournament (PS2) Go bowling! If you overcharge, you get the character's KO sound... unless it's Jun Kazama. She just giggles as she flies down the Mishima Lane and gets an illegal strike.

Just found out today from a new modern vintage gamer video that all the loading in street fighter alpha for the snes is not because of the weird chip used to compress graphics. it's because capcom rushed the game out and hosed up the way the game loaded music in each stage. for probably the past 20+ years everyone assumed it was from the SDD-1 chip and all the animation frames but nope- it's entirely related to music. also somebody figured out how to unlock Akuma in the game......a month ago lol: https://www.destructoid.com/stories/shin-akuma-pops-up-in-snes-street-fighter-alpha-2-thanks-to-newly-discovered-code-615767.phtml

in the SFC/Japanese version of FF6, you can rename all 8 of cyan's swordtech levels. there's even a separate menu for it and everything.

Not exactly something I've just found out, but it is something I've just been reminded of in Streets of Rage (MD/Gen): https://i.imgur.com/v55KwhZ.mp4 Throwing the pepper shaker at any boss character will cause them to have a turbo-seizure for all of ONE second instead of the protracted (and exaggerated) period of standing around sneezing. Incredibly useless, but there you go!
