Cose che non sai sui Retro Giochi

Dato che ne abbiamo parlato proprio in questi giorni, ecco una curiosità sul Pokewalker:

Adattamenti

In the English dub, both Leon and Luis refer to Fr. Mendez as "the big cheese", a phrase describing someone in power. In the Japanese script, however, Luis refers to him as "boss" (ボス) and Leon, "village chief" (村長). This is an example of the changes in localization.

Corretto nelle versioni successivi

In the North American version of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, the Elder Princess Shroob's crown is given an attack rating, although the crown never actually attacks, as its purpose is to simply protect the princess from damage. In the Japanese and European versions of the game, this has been corrected, with the crown having a Power rating of 0.

Per fortuna hanno fatto la versione SNES:

Unused file

There are many unused or unfinished vehicles in the game's files. These include a motorcycle with a sidecar, two monster trucks, a bulldozer, a tank, a tractor, and even modern day vehicles.

Certi titoli conducono facilmente in errore^^

Quake II is not a direct sequel to Quake, and only shares the name because the developers were unable to acquire trademarks on any of the names they had considered for the game. They eventually got fed up with the repeated rejections, and decided to just call the game Quake II because they already owned the trademark on it.

Una rara ammissione di colpa

An unused enemy named "Gotouryu", a Flying Demon based on the Japanese yōkai of the same name, can be found in the data for the Wii version. When asked about why the enemy was cut, director Hideki Kamiya admitted that he forgot to add the enemy in the game.

Certe cose superano il concetto di reference e diventano parte integrante della continuity

Kara tells you that a dog outside the man's house in Diamond Coast is called Turbo. This is a Quintet staple, and Turbo the dog appears in Soul Blazer, Robotrek, and Terranigma.

Che fine ha fatto Metroid 64?

Non si finisce mai di imparare

The song playing during the options menu contains a sample from a Brazilian beer commercial. The line spoken is "Kaiser, una grande cerveja, a cerveja dos momentos felizes", meaning "Kaiser, a great beer, the beer of happy moments". This was the beer's catchphrase at the time.

Questa è molto bella

The Headhunter is based on Princess Langwidere from L. Frank Baum's book Ozma of Oz, the third book in the Oz series. She is the Princess of Ev and is extremely vain. Instead of changing clothes, she prefers to change her head with one of the thirty she keeps in her large boudoir

Scelte difficili

When choosing candidates for the Tatsunoko and Capcom character rosters, the development team were given free reign to nominate any character they wished. However, the team faced limitations on its Tatsunoko candidates; Niitsuma explained, "[We] had to consider licensing issues. Once we had that list we had to figure out how to make a balanced fighting game. On top of that we wanted a good balance between male and female characters." Among the Tatsunoko candidates, the team considered the eponymous characters of Muteking, The Dashing Warrior and Nurse Witch Komugi, but they were eventually scrapped. The team also disallowed characters from Genesis Climber MOSPEADA or Samurai Pizza Cats, despite the high number of fan requests for the latter. As for Capcom candidates, the development team hoped to include Arthur from Ghosts 'n Goblins, Ingrid from Capcom Fighting Evolution, Charlie Nash, Ibuki and M. Bison from Street Fighter, a Tyrant (unclear which one specifically) and Leon from Resident Evil, Date Masamune from Sengoku BASARA, Hsien-Ko from Darkstalkers, Zero Gouki from Cyberbots, Tiara from Gaia Master, Rouge from Power Stone, June from Star Gladiator, and Nero from Devil May Cry.

Un po' di storie per un design entrato nella leggenda

Kazuma Kaneko has said in an interview that the concept of the Demi-fiend was inspired by the band Red Hot Chili Peppers. Additionally, the Demi-fiend's tattoo design is intended to convey the image of a shaman.[2]

Mantieni entrambi i file!

Phantom was one of the creatures that was supposed to appear in Resident Evil 4. When the game eventually turned into Devil May Cry, Phantom was kept but his design was changed to accommodate to the new story; instead of having blood flowing around his body, lava was used.[5][excerpt 1]

Come se ci fosse bisogno di altre conferme^^

Sukuna-Hikona's Persona 4 design, a small child in blue suit and short pants, is a reference to the fictional detective Conan Edogawa who shrinks into a child form from his teenage body. This is further supported by Naoto's mocking introduction in Persona 4 Arena, "the body of a child-the brain of a genius", which is derived from Conan's catchphrase of "I may have the body of a child, but I have the brain of an adult."
