Miss spell

In the American version, the two available Ninetales cards (the card from Base Set and the card exclusive to Game Boy) have their name misspelled as Ninetails. However, the correct name "Ninetales" is found in the description of Base Set Ninetales's Fire Blast attack. This was fixed in the European versions.

Difesa bassa

Cut Man is probably the least resistant Robot Master to the standard Mega Buster in the classic series, and maybe the entire series as a whole. He takes 3 damage and noticeable recoil from a single hit, likely to compensate for the inability to use his main weakness, the Super Arm against him in Wily's fortress. Most other Robot Masters take 1 damage with no recoil.

Mi manchi, Shinji:

Resident Evil 3

If you look closely at the "Exit" button in the epilogue menu, there's a nearly illegible message on it that reads "I Love You, Shinji Mikami, Return to Menu!".

Unico nel suo genere

Metal Man is the only boss in the series who can be defeated by his own weapon in two hits or less.

Categnaccio rimosso:

The Legend of Zelsa: Ocarina of Time

In a 1999 interview published in a Japanese strategy guide for Ocarina of Time, series creator Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that Chain Chomps from the Super Mario Bros. series were planned to appear as enemies in Gerudo's Fortress. According to Miyamoto, the Chain Chomps would be able to capture Link and wrap him up in chains, requiring him to use the Megaton Hammer to break them and free himself. Chain Chomps were present up until the final revisions of the game; Miyamoto did not explain why they were removed.

Parentesi da buone negozianti.

In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask le controparti di Termina di Kotake e Koume gestiscono le loro attività nella Palude. Al contrario delle loro versioni di Hyrule, le due streghe qui non sono malvage. Kotake gestisce una Bottega delle pozioni mentre Koume è la guida del Centro turistico palustre.

Poi divenuti un classico nella serie x ed oltre

This was the first game in the mainline Mega Man franchise to have an Opening Stage (save for the DOS Mega Man game). It is also the first to show a preview of the boss' stage on the Stage Select screen.

Guarda chi c'è:

Xenogears

Lucca from the game Chrono Trigger makes a cameo appearance in the village of Lahan.

Nomi originali

The original names of the four fiend in the Japanese version are the "Four Chaoses", keeping in line with their connection to Chaos and, by extension, Garland.

Quella pizza non uscì mai dal forno

Il primo seguito di Burgertime, Pizzatime, era in fase di sviluppo per Arcade e per Intellivision, ma non fu mai realizzato. Il seguito per Intellivision fu invece Diner.

Burgertime ha avuto però due sequel in ambito arcade: Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Factory (1984) e Super BurgerTime (1990), non paragonabili per successo al primo gioco. Super BurgerTime consente a due giocatori di giocare contemporaneamente ed è molto simile a Burgertime, sebbene con particolari diversi e una grafica migliore

Da zero

Originally, the translated script of the DS version of IV was simply going to copy and paste the English script of the Game Boy Advance version with some alterations. Translator Tom Slattery, however, was a huge fan of the original game and offered to translate the entire game from scratch, making it more accurate to the original Japanese text while also using some modern series terms (such as "Eidolons" for the summon monsters.)

La vera identità di Toad:

Resident Evil 4

In Issue 206 of Nintendo Power, a joke claimed that the "true" identity of the Chainsaw Man from Resident Evil 4 was Toad from the Mario franchise.

Questa è tristemente risaputa

In all non-english PAL versions of the game, the player cannot access the Ogre Fortress or use the Mt. Infinity teleporters. Because of this, these copies of the game can not be beaten.

Tutto nasce con un'onomatopea

The game was initially named War Carnival in RolitoLand before Rolito and Kotani agreed to use "Patapon", which Rolito based off of an old French word for "children" but also fittingly reminded Kotani of the Japanese onomatopoeia for drum sounds.

Passione per la pesca:

Pac-Man World 2

Through the use of Action Replay codes, it's possible to die on the Level Select map. When this happens, Pac-Man will respawn on the game's title screen; moving around will reveal a stool and fishing rod off-screen, suggesting that he was originally planned to fish on the title screen instead of just standing and playing idle animations.

Non tutto è in bianco e nero

Summon animations are changed to black and white while in Timeless River, though the images that pop up while using Never Land with Peter Pan are still in color.

Quando l'abbreviazione nasconde la figagine.

Il nome del videogioco SWIV per esteso è Super Weapons Interdiction Vehicles.

Can che abbaia

Despite warning Lenneth that he is not loyal to her, Gandar never acts on his threats.

Dialoghi differenti:

Battletoads

There are 4 different sets of dialogue that the Black Queen and Professor T. Bird will speak in the ending cutscene. These sets of dialogue are selected at random.

Tanti ma tanti cambi

Originally, there were going to be four main characters: Schneider Belmont, Carrie Fernandez, Cornell and Corler. Eventually, Schneider Belmont was renamed Reinhardt Schneider. Corler, a shotgun and chainsaw wielding monster, was dropped from the game, and Cornell was moved to Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness.
