Il mistero della fascetta rossa:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The NES cover of the game shows each of the turtles wearing red masks instead of the individual colors that they wear in the cartoon and in the game. This is because the cover is a remake of the second print cover for issue #4 of the Mirage comics, where they all wore red masks.

Uncredited

David Frederick, Mike West, Ja Green and Lyssa Browne reprised their roles from the original Star Fox 64, but for unknown reasons David Frederick goes uncredited.

Un costume infiammabile

In an interview with one of the series designers, Shinkiro, he replies that Mai was the most difficult character to illustrate. He comments "I thought she was going to burst out of her costume..."

Alcune delle (tante) differenze gioco e novel

During the joint raid on Solids' citadel in Anahata, the plan fails due to Bat's betrayal. And in the worst timing, Jinana is being consumed by her own Atma. Gale gives Argilla the Atma-suppressing bullets to be fired into Jinana's Atma body, but that does not seem to be enough. Then Serph, in his Atma form, forcefully feeds her the capsules by hand. It successfully reverts her to her human form, but she is unconscious and near dead. Her bodyguard Zaphir in the form of a Sphinx carries Serph and Jinana back to the headquarter of Embryon so she can receive Sera's blood more directly. The rescue is successful, and this whole incident has strengthened the alliance of the two tribes even more. After discussing with Argilla, the two women begin to accept devouring their enemies if necessary.

Un omaggio a Lara:

Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon

The mouse explorer character Tara featured in the Desert Ruins is a direct parody of Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider series, down to the two characters sharing an English accent and a very large bosom.

Dalla bici alla moto da cross

Enduro Racer for Sega Master System is the interpretation of the arcade game Enduro Racer. It is a racing game played from an oblique perspective similar to Paperboy as opposed to the lower third-person perspective and sprite scaling of the arcade original.

Leggenda metropolitana

A popular rumor among Japanese players at the time of the game's release was that Estark would join the player's party if he was defeated within a certain number of turns. While this isn't true, it eventually led to two cases of Ascended Fanon of sorts, with the Bonus Boss of Dragon Quest VI teaming up with the heroes if defeated quickly enough and Estark's son Starkers becoming a recruitable character after Estark is defeated in remakes of the game.

Nel gioco sbagliato

A little over three months later on October 24, Sony published a Japan-exclusive game titled Space Fishermen, a collaboration between Japan Studio and the American animation studio Spümcø, Inc. under the name "Land Ho!". Both characters appear in the game as fish you can catch, presumably having found the correct game they were supposed to be in.

La paperella misteriosa:

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia

On top of the water in the Somnus Reef all the way to the left of the entrance is a rubber ducky floating in the water.

Piccole modifiche

In a 1991 commentary with the game's composer Nobuo Uematsu published in the FFIV Minimum Album Liner Notes, he stated that in early plans for the game, the team wanted to use the unreleased track "Rosa o Sukue! (Save Rosa!)" aka "Restless Moments" for a scene where you had to save Rosa within a time limit or a game over would occur; this scene would appear in the final game in the Tower of Zot without this song.

Condizioni atmosferiche fastidiose

In Jaguar XJ220 per Amiga si poteva incappare in piste che potevano avere nebbia, pioggia, vento o neve. Queste erano rese molto bene tanto da alzare il livello di difficoltà in pista, specie per la poca visibilità.
Oggi è più comune la cosa nei giochi di Auto ma nei primi anni 90 non lo era così tanto.

In realtà la diatriba è ancora in corso

Tidus is never actually directly referred to by his name in audible dialogue. People will refer to him with impersonal pronouns. This is due to the player being able to name Tidus at the start of the game, and this being Square Enix's first voiced Final Fantasy game, they weren't sure how to handle a variable name. Tidus' name pronunciation has been debated, but was confirmed to be pronounced "Tee-Dus" by James Arnold Taylor, the voice actor for Tidus.

Debolezza rimossa:

Killer Instinct

Sabrewulf was originally planned to transform back into his human form as a weakness.

Una volta ogni tanto mi piace proporvi curiosità diverse, come le "storie" di una speedrun




Credo che anche i non appassionati di speedrun apprezzeranno, tipo Nintendo Master

A me le speedrun non dispiacciono, sono quelle col TAS e robe varie che mi fanno schifo, non ha senso senza l'abilità del giocatore (o comunque con grossi aiuti)

L'originale ormai perduto:

The House of the Dead

Sega has lost the original source code to House of the Dead, meaning they will never be able to re-release this game again without reverse engineering a different version of the game.

Re-imaging

The game was first announced in the September 2009 issue of Famitsu. Marvelous Entertainment teamed up with Image Epoch and TYPE-MOON to develop a re-imaging of the visual novel series.

Non solo.
La serie era anche molto più cupa. Abbiamo poi avuto nel corso degli anni storie mature con le tartarughe ma l'inizio era davvero diverso.
