Interagibile

In ogni gioco Max può suonare il pianoforte se non ricordo male.

Piccole differenze

The narrator in the European released has a British accent, and instead of stating that the grass in the introduction "feels like pants" will state that the grass "feels like trousers". This was changed to accommodate the difference in the use of the word pants. Several other lines throughout the game have minor differences, too.

Mi pare di si

Parola del pipistrello

Kevin Conroy, the iconic voice of Batman, described the game as "really, really dark." While relating the game's dark nature to the animated movie Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, Conroy also said, "It involves a lot of the villains and it goes to that area - it's that dark."

Indy was here

The Ark of the Covenant can be found in the Nazi Compound in a corner room. The Ark seems to be similar to the one depicted in the Indiana Jones movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Secret Password Mode:

Cambiamenti

Red Faction 2 has almost no resemblance at all to the original Red Faction with a completely different story, different characters, no stealth missions and takes place on Earth instead of Mars.

Hanno aggiustato il tiro

Age of Empires III features only eight civilizations (twenty-two with the expansions)

Ace Ventura:

Resident Evil 0

When the players defeats 16 bats and the Infected Bat in the church, they will unlock 2 trophies/achievements titled "Winged Spawn of Satan" and "Die, Devil Bird!". These are a reference to Ace Ventura's quotes, when he enters the bat cave to look for Shikaka in the film Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls.

Never finished

Although the planned Hobbit game, Middle-earth Online and War of the Ring were all ultimately released, the two sequels in the Lords of the Rings trilogy were not.

Cancellato

A spiritual successor to the game was in development which internally went under the title We Are The Mods. The game was set during the mods and rockers brawls of the 1960s in England. It was originally intended to be on the PlayStation 2 but development was later switched over to the Xbox 360. Work began on the game in 2006 by Rockstar Toronto but it was later canceled with some environment and weapon models still existing for it.

Ripeto, non ironicamente, il titolo europeo mi piace di più

For the original PlayStation 2 release, Bully was renamed in PAL regions to Canis Canem Edit which is Latin for "Dog Eat Dog." Canis Canem Edit is Bullworth Academy's motto and the game's tagline in non-PAL regions.

Che sapore hanno?

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2

When asked by Kotaku what ghosts taste like in the Pac-Man universe, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 director Kunito Komori answered:

"As far as I know, they taste pretty… bad."

He would then pause, possibly realizing that if the ghosts tasted bad then Pac-Man would be more hesistant to eat them, and changed his answer:

"[Ghosts are] very, very tasty – like fruits."

Citazione di classe

Whilst terrorizing humans in Albion, people can be heard sometimes yelling "Someone call the Doctor!" and "Where the hell's the bleedin' TARDIS?", references to the science fiction series "Doctor Who".

Parodia

Near the end of the game, a movie called "Hot Coffee" becomes available to buy in the shop. The movie is a 12 second clip of Daxter and Tess drinking coffee. The clip is a parody of the Hot Coffee mod for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

L'unico:

Sonic Generations

Due to its returning cameo in the background of Radical Highway on the 3DS version, NiGHTS is the only non-Sonic character to appear in Sonic Generations.

Scommessa vinta

Ueda wished the game to have a unique presentation and change how both players and developers would perceive what bosses should be in video games. To ensure that the programmers focused entirely on the colossi boss battle quality, he limited the enemies to just the sixteen colossi, that could only be approached one at a time, and have various behavior patterns.

Though limiting the presence of enemies to only bosses was partly intended to differentiate the game from others, Ueda also expressed that it was to ensure that the programmers' focus was entirely on the colossi so that their quality would be as high as possible.

Protezioni

If the game detects a pirated copy of the game, all enemies will be removed from the game except for those from the first level.

Mr. X:

Donkey Kong Country 2

There is a scrapped Kremling character which has been dubbed by fans as "Mr. X". He appeared in Issue 76 of Nintendo Power but is nowhere in the game. He appears in the German instruction booklet where it reads, "Kennt ihn oder hat ihn irgendwo schon einmal gesehen", which translates into, "No one knows him or has seen him anywhere before."

Li preferisco ognuno con il suo slot.

The characters Pura and Polar were meant to be one racer, and Komodo Moe was meant to appear with his brother Komodo Joe (possibly as one racer).
