The hero the community needs

In Chapter 13, "Blood Contract", the objective is to last against an army for twelve turns with the help of ally NPCs. One of the NPCs is an archer manning a ballista in the top left corner of the map. Nicknamed "3-13 Archer", this NPC has gained a reputation in the Fire Emblem community for attacking and surviving numerous enemy encounters, going as far as leaving his turret to block advancing enemy units.

An odd ball

Belcoot is the first known male fighter to appear in the series to bear the Falcon Rune. He is also the only student of Roundlier Haia that doesn't use a fencing blade.

An amusing in-joke in the game is that despite training in Kanakan, which is well known in the series for its superb wine, Belcoot is shown in the game to be a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. This is made even more amusing by the fact that Valeria, Anita, and Kika are shown in the series to be quite heavy drinkers. This marks another contrast between him and previous Falcon Rune users in the series.

Incongruenze:

Metroid Fusion

There are a few inconsistencies between the Omega Metroid in this game and the ones in Metroid II: Return of Samus. The first is the size of it, as it was 150% Samus' size in Metroid II, but is now twice her size. This could be linked to the baby Metroid in Super Metroid, who grew larger late into the game. Another inconsistency is the fact that it's only weakness in Metroid Fusion is the Ice Beam, when the Ice Beam had no effect in Metroid II.

Not dubbed

Despite Jean Reno providing Jacques' likeness and French voice, Paul Mercier (who would go on to voice Leon Kennedy a few months later) serves as Jacques' English VA.

A beautiful sky

Obtaining different endings will gradually fill out the night sky in the Save Menu's top screen. Seeing the Meritorious, Egalitarian, and Liberator endings will fill in the silhouettes of the left, center, and right radio towers, which correspond to Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo, respectively. Seeing the Kingmaker ending will add the Big Dipper constellation into the night sky. Attaining the Restorer ending adds the North Star in the night sky. Completing this scenery also reveals 3 faded silhouettes of the towers in Beppu, Fukuoka, and Sapporo.

Un compagno dimenticato:

Donkey Kong Land

There was originally going to be a new Animal Buddy called "Ram Bunkshus" to appear in this game. Little is known about what he could do and why he never made it into the game.

Namesake and egyptian theme

Neith is named after the Egyptian goddess of the same name. The goddess Neith was a goddess of war and hunting, which falls in line with the Frame runner's personality.

L'importanza dei cuori:

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

In the later-released Japanese version, Heart Blocks were added to Beanbean Castle Sewers, Oho Oasis, and Teehee Valley; these blocks fully restore Mario and Luigi's HP and BP at no cost. These blocks also feature in the 3DS remake across all regions, as the remake is based on the Japanese version of the original game.

Not a BlitzBall

When Tidus completes "Chasm of the Rotting Earth", some of his moves that use a Blitzball will be replaced by a Moogle ball. Performing a Jecht Shot will have it's power increased.

Troppo, PERSINO per Conker

The game originally featured a cutscene that was removed from the game upon Nintendo's request, as it displayed scenes of graphic torture and mutilation. The scene showed Tediz cutting open a Squirrel Soldier who was pleading for his life, possibly performing a vivisection, as Conker watched in horror.

Culture diverse:

Pocky & Rocky

Throughout the first two levels, the Nopino are based on Yokai from Japanese folklore, including monsters such as Tengu, Kappa, Tsukumogami, as well as others. However, the Gorgonzola Goblins revealed at the end of Stage 2 and beyond have a more Western feel, mainly European and some Middle Eastern. These include pirates, knights, bishops, a Vampire, a Harpy (Exclusive to the Japanese Version), a Kraken, and a Genie.

Not scrapped

Parts of Resident Evil 5's Beta were later used in Resident Evil 6. Mainly, the underground ruins, with parts being under water, Gigante-like giants assaulting a town while you had to protect another character trying to help, and a boss battle fought on a train where you had to run from car to car while fighting it. The monster itself (Irving) was also very similar to Birkin's final form.

L'ho supportato come meglio ho potuto

The physical version of Delta was released in Japan and Asia only. Luckily the Asian version is import friendly and comes with English text.

Led Storm cross Final Fight. Ovvero: quando un'auto da scontro incontra una banda malfamata.

Il nesso tra i due giochi è presto detto.
Il titolo giapponese di LED Storm è Mad Gear, stesso nome della gang di criminali che andremo a pigliare a cazzotti nell'altro gioco.
Daje Capcom!
