The attached artwork is from the Hyrule Historia.

Quindi ora sotto con un remake

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.

Questioni di doppiaggio:

Yakuza

Darryl Kurylo, who originally voiced Kazuma Kiryu in the English dub of Yakuza, also voiced many generic enemies including their groans and grunts throughout the game.

Son curioso di sentire cosa pensano del II

According to Tomoya Asano, the developers have come to see their work on this game as disappointing. There are no exact reasons why, but according to Tomoya, they felt the game didn't live up to the expectations set by the first game and ultimately it was the reason going forward they put the series on hiatus until they felt they could do new things with it. The Bravely Default 10th Anniversary stream also didn't make any mention of the game at all, only acknowledged when it was incidentally part of merchandise featuring the characters of the franchise.

Reference e colori

Each character has a colour palette based on a character from the Guilty Gear series, as well as a palette based on another fellow Blazblue character and a palette based off of a character from Atlus' Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series due to Arc System Works developing Persona 4 Arena.

Sir Vega:

Street Fighter II

Early sketches suggest that Vega was going to resemble a medieval knight wearing a full suit of armor. He was also simply named "Spanish Ninja" by the developers until he was finally given a name.

Sir Vega:

Interessante.
Ed aggiungo che poi ereditò il suo famoso artiglio tri-lama da Geki del primo SF, che era molto simile.^^

Tributo alla leggenda

There are two unique armor sets that are based on the armor worn by Guts and Griffith from the manga "Berserk". The Swordsman Armor Set and White Hawk Armor Set are the result of a collaboration between Capcom and the Berserk Golden Age Arc film.

Che fine ha fatto Guy?

Final Fight

The SNES version is missing the character of Guy. A later version of the game was released called Final Fight Guy, which replaced Cody with Guy and made up a new story to explain Cody's absence to the game. The game was sold in stores in Japan and was a rental only at Blockbuster in America.

Che fine ha fatto Guy?

Che rosicata questa prima versione.
Ricordo che oltre al già citato Guy mancava anche un intero livello.

Un personaggio, tanti concept

Dr. Weil, like many characters, underwent several different designs in the conceptual stages. His designs were based on three different ages: young, middle-aged, and old. Ultimately a variation of the old design was chosen, but there are notes of interest about his other designs as well. The young design was meant to pilot a giant exoskeleton, and before being revealed as a young man his silhouette was meant to be seen with glowing eyes that made him appear more monstrous. The middle-aged design bears some mild similarities to Doctor Wily, though Inafune has firmly denied Weil and Wily were directly connected in any way. This design was later used for a minor character in Mega Man ZX Advent.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

Un'altra storia, non un port

Metal Gear Solid (original Japanese name: Metal Gear: Ghost Babel) for GameBoy Color is not the same game as the popular Playstation/PC installment of the series. It is not set within the storyline of Metal Gear series, but instead tells an unrelated episode featuring the same hero - special agent Solid Snake

Nel anime lo hanno fatto apparire solo per ucciderlo subito

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.

C'è un po' di Sonic in questo Billy Hatcher:

Billy Hatcher and The Giant Egg

It's thought that the four characters playable in the multi player and story mode games are based on four of the main Sonic the Hedgehog characters - Billy is Sonic, Chick Poacher is Tails, Bantam Scrambled is Knuckles and Rolly Roll is Amy. The Hatcher characters use similar colors and copy poses as well. For example, on the game's box art, Billy is in the same pose as Sonic from official Sonic Adventure 2 artwork.

Franchise Killer

Franchise Killer: Not only were the game's sales poor enough to cause the developer to say a sequel was out of the question, the poor sales led to Activision shuttering the developer that created it, Radical Entertainment.

Eagle's Pet Shop:

Resident Evil 3

The name of the pet store "Eagle's Pet Shop", is a references to "Eagle" from Street Fighter series.

Ancora nel codice

In the game exist 4 unused animations for spells. They are actually all from the game's predecessor Sword of Seals, much like the Ballista animations. The animations that exist in the game and are yet unused are of Zephiel's ranged sword attack, Roy's Sword of Seals ranged attack, Fa's Divine Dragon breath, and Iduon's Dark Dragon breath, which is mirrored towards the player due to the weapon being enemy only in it's respective game.

Dramatic Battle:

Street Fighter Alpha

The Japanese version of the Arcade release includes a hidden Dramatic Battle mode with Ryu and Ken fighting against M.Bison, with a remix of the main theme from the Street Fighter 2 Animated movie playing in the background. This is a reference to a similar fight scene from the animated movie.
