Thirteen Years later

In June 2016, an update was added to Postal 2, 13 years after release, this update added a way to enter the closed video game store which stated it would reopen in June of 2016, inside the player can find a VR headset similar to the HTC Vive. Putting the headset on will bring the player to a virtual reality store named "Steme", which sells copies of Postal Redux, and parody versions of popular steam games. (including Counter Strike: Global Offensive and Doom) The cashier will also give the player tips from the future, like betting on the Red Sox and not buying Postal 3. A Sports Almanac can also be seen outside the store, as a reference to Back To The Future.

Not a Glithc

In the English version of Lunar 2, there's an easter egg in place of a glitch seen in the Japanese version. In the first boss fight, if Hiro and Gwyn die at a point that prevents the boss from reaching Lucia, the fight will never end, as the boss cannot kill the last party member. If the same conditions are met in the English version, a cute and tiny character called Ruby that mostly just flies around in the background , will one hit kill the boss.

Piccola insight sui "rumor"

In The PlayStation magazine interview with the game's art designer Kazuma Kaneko, he was asked about how the game's title 'Sin' (Persona 2: Innocent Sin) and the main theme of 'rumors' tied together in the game's story. He responded: "My definition of “rumor” is when a person makes a judgment based on their own preconceptions and prejudices, and then recklessly disseminates that to the wider world. When that stuff circulates and circulates, you know… it could eventually become a sin. Even though we never intentionally think we’re committing a sin, I bet in our everyday lives this kind of thing happens a lot. A careless comment you make could have a major impact on someone else’s life. Those ideas are intertwined with the story of Persona 2."

"More amicable"

During the development of Portal 2, playtesters found GLaDOS to be far too mean and vindictive. The developers concluded that a shift in personality was necessary, to better reflect the change in the power dynamic between Chell and GLaDOS. As a result, some of her dialogue was changed to make GLaDOS more amicable and passive-aggressive.

Piccoli typo

In the "Answer" part of the game ending, Mitsuru can be heard saying the line "Is that it?". However, the game shows Akihiko and his portrait while the line is being said.

In tema con la fight

The Cutters are based on old couple of the Japanese tale Shita-kiri Suzume, though in the game, both of them were evil and wanted to eat Chun.

Miyamoto e i nomi strani:

Letterari^^

In the instruction manual, Daisy is referred to as "Daisy Princess" instead of "Princess Daisy." This is because of her Japanese name, Deiji-Hime, places the word for Daisy before the word for Princess.

Taro being Taro

The development of Nier started after the release of Drakengard 2. The original concept was for a third entry in the Drakengard series. It was intended to be for seventh generation consoles due to the lessening importance of the PlayStation 2, which Drakengard 2 had been made for. However, as the project evolved, the original ideas were reworked and the game eventually became a spin-off from the main series. Despite this, the game's director Taro Yoko continues to think of it as the third Drakengard game.

Questa è stranota

Vyse and Aika from "Skies of Arcadia" both make a cameo appearance in Valkyria Chronicles as "Vyse Inglebard" and "Aika Thompson", members of Squad 7, and make subtle references to Skies of Arcadia in their dialogue. Fina also makes an appearance as a medic, but is not playable.
