Una piccola svista ^^

Because the developers were still experimenting with Double Battles where the player teams up with an NPC ally to fight two NPC opponents, this lead to a glaring oversight during the battle where the player joins with Steven Stone to battle Maxi and Tabitha where, during the battle, Steven's Level 42 Metang can actually gain a substantial amount of EXP simultaneously with the player's own Pokémon. This essentially means that, with careful manipulation, the player can have the ally Metang get enough EXP to grow to Level 43. This so far is the only instance in the entire Pokémon main series where, in a non-scripted battle, an NPC's Pokémon can gain EXP and level up.

Friendly reminder

Nomen omen, un nome un destino

It's possible that the name "Innis" is a pun on the Latin word meaning "Meaningless". This would seem to make sense as Innis appears to be the mold or outline of something.

Ancient Relic

In Chapter 4: A Captive Goddess, there is a room with some boards on one of the walls. If you slash at the boards, they will fall to reveal a DirectXbox, which is the original design for the Xbox.

Un collegamento a Sunshine:

New Super Mario Bros.

There is a reference to Super Mario Sunshine in the game's manual which reads: "Didn't Bowser Jr. once think Princess Peach might be his mother?" In Super Mario Sunshine, the story involves Bowser Jr. kidnapping Peach because he thought she was his mother.

Sarà stato il papà a dirglielo, o l'ha dedotto da solo dalle fisse che ha il genitore verso la principessa.

Cut-scene vs in game

During the animated cutscenes Sly is depicted wearing black shoes and yellow gloves. However, during gameplay, his shoes and gloves are blue.

Simbolismi

There is persistent butterfly and moth symbolism surrounding

Spoiler

Maria, who has a butterfly tattoo on her abdomen. Spoiler:Butterflies are seen as a symbol of rebirth in some cultures. Since she is supposed to be the reborn image of Mary, she could be seen as a butterfly. Likewise, moths are seen as a symbol of death, and Maria transforms into a swarm of black moths for the final boss. This parallels how James killed Mary.

Un pedale salva vita

La serie di Time Crisis si basa sullo sparare a tutti i nemici sullo schermo in un'area entro un limite di tempo specifico per continuare verso l'area successiva e completare il livello. > La caratteristica distintiva del franchise è il suo sistema di copertura: il giocatore schiaccia un pedale per far emergere il suo personaggio dalla copertura e attaccare i nemici, e rilascia il pedale per mettersi al riparo, proteggendo il suo personaggio dagli attacchi nemici ma lasciandolo incapace di sparare. <

Tagli

At its early concepts Biohazard 3: Last Escape was going to have a mode where you could play as a zombified Brad Vickers (cut due to production costs) and Jill would have crossed paths with Leon, Ada and William during the story (cut due to continuity problems).

Il segreto di Air Man:

Mega Man 2

On Air Man's Stage, if you enter the boss room and use Item-1 to climb back up and touch the boss door again. Mega Man will be moved to the right past the boss room into a version of Wily Stage 2 which loads sprites from Air Man's Stage rather than its own. Enemies from Wily Stage 2 appear in their respective spots and the stage is fully playable up until the boss room, which is an empty blue void that the player can't progress past.

Un po' di differenze fra le versioni di Sly 3 che tutti conosciamo ed il suo prototipo

Spoiler

 

[Vincent 86]

Un design differente:

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

In the Japanese version, the fourth HUD option is designed after a Japanese calligraphy sheet. In the international release, this is replaced with a new design based on crayon scribbles.

Il ricordo della sua prima avventura:

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

After defeating the Hippogryph boss, Maria will ask Alucard if he knows Richter Belmont. When Alucard asks if he's from the Belmont clan, an 8-bit sprite will appear in a thought bubble. The sprite is of Trevor Belmont from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, which would be the Belmont he would most likely remember.
