Incorrect

The S-ranked bow Rienfleche has an incorrect description in the US localization, claiming it functions like a brave weapon in that it allows the user to attack more often, which is untrue. The EU localization fixed this by giving it the correct description. This error is not present in the Japanese release.

Reference

Tunnel Rhino's Japanese name "Masaider" (マサイダー Masaidā) is a double pun of "磨砕だ！" (Masaidā, lit. "To grind!") and the Maasai tribes of Kenya (Tunnel Rhino's color scheme is heavily inspired by traditional Maasai colors). Additionally, sai (犀 / サイ) is the Japanese word for rhinoceros.

Visto l'affetto che provo per il titolo oggi voglio riproporvi un confronto fra le due versioni di Majora's Mask.
Con tutti i pro e sopratutto i contro del caso

Insight

According to the game's artist Yoshitaka Amano from a 1987 Beep Magazine interview, Square told him to make an illustrated cover of a character (Onion Knight) wielding 2 blades. Originally, Amano wanted to draw a landscape-style drawing with no human characters, but he changed it since it was an illustration for a video game, and was later glad he did as he felt the game's final cover had more impact.

Ancora mi domanda come abbiano potuto permettere uno scempio simile ai tempi

A large portion of the game was removed from the North American version. Known as the Snow Queen Quest, this version of the game leads to an alternate ending. It was re-added in the PSP version of the game.

Piccolo extra

Transferring your starter Pikachu from Pokemon Yellow will have them say their name during battles (voiced by Pikachu's anime voice actress Ikue Ohtani), instead of the standard Pokemon growl.

Profezia

If the player does The Sad Seer quest after finishing the main quest, Oddfrid White-Lip will predict the player's future. She will say, through her friend Geilir the Mumbling, "When the dragon dies, the Empire dies. Where is the lost dragon's blood, the Empire's sire? And from the womb of the void, who shall stem the blood tide?" This is actually a teaser to the plot of the fourth game in the Elder Scrolls series, Oblivion, which was unreleased at the time. The dragon is a reference to the Septim family line. During Oblivion, the supposed last Septim emperor dies, causing the Gates of Oblivion to open and the empire to fall into chaos. It is up to the player to find the emperor's missing heir, "the lost dragon's blood," and close the "womb of the void". The remainder of this prophecy was revealed in a series of splash screens at the countdown to the Oblivion launch on the Official Elder Scrolls site: When the dragon dies, the Empire dies. Where is the lost dragon's blood, the Empire's sire? And from the womb of the void, who shall stem the blood tide? So long as the Blood of the Dragon Prince runs strong in her rulers, the glory of the Empire shall extend in unbroken years. His heart's blood bleeds in darkness For once the portals are opened, who shall shut them upon the rising tide? For Lord Dagon forever reborn in blood and fire from the waters of Oblivion. Find him... and close shut the marble jaws of Oblivion. This prophecy expands upon the plot that would eventually be revealed in "Oblivion".

One and only

Mega Man Zero 2 is the first and only game in the series to show the body of the original X (the other "X body" being that of Copy X).

Citazioni

At the end of Chapter 16: Jailbreak, you duel three bad guys named Sergio, Ennio, and Eli. Their names are obvious references to Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone, and Eli Wallach, who directed, scored and starred in a series of spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood.

Il port che non è stato

The first Baldur's Gate was released in 1998 for PC and in 2000 for Mac OS, never seeing the light of day on consoles. 15 years later, in 2013, an enhanced edition of both games was brought to fruition by the ex-BioWare alumni-helmed studio, Beamdog. However, whilst this classic RPG was a PC exclusive, that wasn't the intention, as originally, the game was slated to be ported over to the original PlayStation.

Random

On the Macintosh version of the game, pressing B on the id Software logo will show a secret picture depicting a cartoon of lead programmer Bill "Burger" Heinemann cutting off the head of an unnamed member of management with an axe. This image also appears in the 3DO version of Out of this World.

Chicche

The Chronomage soul allows Soma to briefly stop time. When encountering a Red Minotaur, using the soul to stop time just before the enemy can catch the axe it threw in the air will cause the axe to fall out of bounds during the pause in time. Once time starts again, the Red Minotaur will enter an animation lock and change its AI to be more aggressive, dashing towards Soma to try and uppercut him, featuring unique sprite animations that cannot be seen otherwise.

Questa è piuttosto nota ma sempre bene ricordarlo ^^

Awakening was intended to be the final game in the series unless the total sales exceeded 250,000 copies, and so the game was filled with homages and features of previous installments. This includes the return of the marriage and inheritance system from Genealogy of the Holy War, the branching promotion trees and free-roam world map of The Sacred Stones, the skill system from various games in the series, and the custom character from Shin MonshŠno Nazo: Hikari to Kage no Eiyū. It also included references to previous installments, such as with Owain shouting out the titles of the previous games, the brands possibly referencing the Holy Blood system in Genealogy of the Holy War, and downloadable characters and maps from previous games.

Original

Age of Mythology was in development for nearly 6 years (even before Age of Empires was released), although was only known publicly as Age of Mythology when it was officially announced as such in May 2001. Because of this, a large majority of content was made for the game, or changed before it's October 2002 scheduled release date.
