Not canon

It's commonly passed around that Nalia can become Minsc's witch if Aerie doesn't. However, this is actually part of her romance mod and not part of the base game.

Meno incontri casuali:

Skies of Arcadia Legends

The most common criticism for the Dreamcast version of the game was that there were too many random encounters. In the GameCube version the random encounters were scaled down to answer the problem.

Tagliato ma non dimenticato del tutto

His role in the final game may have been relegated to a minor character only named as the "Defeated General" in the game's end credits. Pious makes a comment that he was able to see through his disguise, hinting that he may have been one of the chosen.

Il primo a ricevere miglioramenti per Super Game Boy:

Donkey Kong

This was the first Game Boy title designed with enhanced features when played on the Super Game Boy. Playing this way added a set value of colors and a background that looked like the Donkey Kong arcade cabinet.

Real Life reference

The village of Doolin in the Japanese release is called 'Lemrick', which is similar to the real-life city and county in Ireland, Limerick.

The New Legend of Zelda:

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

The developers originally considered having the game be called "The New Legend of Zelda" similar to the New Super Mario Bros. series, but instead went with A Link Between Worlds to go with how it mainly borrows from A Link to the Past, only this time it has the story pass between two worlds instead of "linking" between different time periods.

Approvato da Sam Raimi

The level "As Evil As Dead" contains several references to the movie The Evil Dead. Outside of the stage's title, there's a scene in which Paula takes a POV shot chasing Garcia much like the monster did in The Evil Dead. There's also a demon trapped in a basement also much like Cheryl was in the film.

Due Allen sono meglio di uno, o forse no?

Il nunchaku proibito:

Soul Edge/Soul Blade

Li Long's preferred weapon is a nunchaku. Due to media laws in the UK forbidding the depiction ninja-related weapons such as nunchaku, Li Long instead uses a three-sectioned staff in the UK version of the game and in the intro as well.

Altro plot point gettato alle ortiche

The choice of making Corrin barefoot was made early on to reflect on the more "animalistic" nature of their dragon heritage.

Canzone nascosta:

Wario Land 4

The final level of Wario Land 4, Golden Passage, begins with Wario touching the frog switch, causing the entire stage to play the generic hurry up theme - if a player pauses the game before landing on the switch (or alternatively hacks the game), a unique Golden Passage stage theme can be heard.

E non è l'unica controparte di personaggi reali

Margarete Gertrude Zelle was designed after the real life World War I German spy "Mata Hari".

Mario cattivo:

Donkey Kong Jr.

This game marks Mario's only appearance as the bad guy in a Nintendo game. Shigeru Miyamoto did this to show shades of grey in Mario and Donkey Kong, and also that not everything is as it seems.

Mario cattivo:

Ora dovrei rivedere tutti i giochi di Mario per capire se effettivamente è il cattivo della situazione.....ma un pò me lo sentivo, non mi è mai piaciuto quel panzone baffuto. (Team Sonic!)
