  • The character Ricky Winterborn from 1080° Snowboarding was listed as being 20 years old when the sequel, 1080° Avalanche, came out in late 2003, which means he'd be about 36 right now. This is really not very old- he probably has a lot of good years left in him!

  • Thank you for reading video gaming fun facts!

  • Despite their popularity, the band Korn did not have their own video game for the Sony Playstation 1 or the Gameboy Color. To date, there has never been an official video game of the band Korn.

  • Unlike the silent protagonist from Grand Theft Auto 3, the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is voiced, meaning the character speaks to other characters in the game. Creepy!
  • The name of the character ROB 64 from the video game Star Fox 64 comes from "Rob", which is short for "Robert"

Unlike acclaimed Nintendo DS title, "Animal Crossing: Wild World", "Animal Crossing: Wild West" is not a real game. If you bought it, please return it (unless you are having fun with it)!

Bad Dudes was in fact a game about two good dudes. The enemy ninjas were clearly bad but definitely not "dudes" by modern definitions. Very misleading marketing!

  • The video game Spy Hunter was originally titled Spy Humper--an homage to the James Bond series it was based upon--but was changed before release due to issues with licensing and all of the humping cutscenes were removed.

Many video games that carry the official Nintendo Seal of Quality are actually really bad

Jaguars!


The Nintendo Seal of Quality means, among other things, that the word Nintendo is spelled correctly on the Nintendo Seal of Quality.

False. There is only one electron and it has never stopped
Fun fact: There were originally meant to be 10,000 unique Pokemon but the developers felt this was too many.

Fun fact: Weeder was never among them and Weedzy wasn't either.

Fun Fact: The name "Pokemon" comes from a combination of the word "Poke", meaning to jab or prod, and "Man", history's greatest monster.
