This isn't true unless your talking about using it with a 0 :/ It originated on IGN, didn't it? I remember reading a whole article on it.tehrik-e-insaaf said:Gaf also invented Megat0n :lol

Did a google search and found this article (it's Stiq of Joy citing Wikipedia... this is bound to be reliable!)Fantastical said:This isn't true unless your talking about using it with a 0 :/ It originated on IGN, didn't it? I remember reading a whole article on it.
http://www.joy stiq.com/2006/09/15/megaton-the-story-behind-the-meme/ said:It was a big week for Nintendo and the gamers that enjoy the company's offerings. Was it a "Megaton" week? That's subjective. But it's interesting to note our culture's understanding of the term, and not just for Nintendo related announcements. So where did the Megaton meme come from? Wikipedia explains:
"Megaton is a meme among Nintendo fans that resulted from a vastly over-hyped rumored announcement around 2002. Individuals on the Gaming-Age Forums uncovered an article from Japanese magazine JUMP! that mentioned in one of its pages that Nintendo had a very big announcement to make... such that it could make their GameCube console a bestseller worldwide... Eventually it came out that the Japanese magazine that had reported the Megaton in the first place had merely been hyping up an unannounced game... leaving Nintendo fans with something of an anticlimax."
To this day, Nintendo fans, gadget jockeys, and internet users still draw on the term "Megaton" in reference to potential industry-shaking news. Though the idea behind the word will most likely never live up to the hype, the expression is here to stay.

In an otherwise tiled background, the big dipper can be seen right before the door to Crash Man. Played this game a thousand times, but I just noticed this today. :lol

Wow. :o
That was a good spot, Im glad you found it. Such a nugget of info would have been lost in abyss without you :^)JasonMCG said:Sweet my fact got posted on that popular Nintendo blog (that I think is forbidden to talk about...)!
Dragmire said:I've read much of this thread and also searched it twice to see if this was posted. But I just found this out from a friend. A lot of people may already know it but here goes......
Warp Whistle sound
Ocarina of Time intro music
The Ocarina of Time intro starts with the warp whistle theme (which is also the sound of the flute from Zelda on NES and I think LTTP). Mind = blown. I write music and somehow I never put that together. Koji Kondo is brilliant. I remember thinking it was a strange song for the flute when I was young but he made a beautiful song out of it.
Also, wow.

This is the first sonic to game clash I ever heard a long time ago, it's quite obvious. I might be wrong but a megadrive magazine pointed it out to me.Sixfortyfive said:

Gagaman said:Don't know if this music comparison has come up yet, but:
REM - All the Right Friends
Megaman 1 - Elecman Stage
According to the notes in that REM album's sleeve, they sat on this song for ten years. Hmm..
Haha, and they both sound a lot like Simply the Best sped up a little!

Super Metroid - Norfair
and
Deep Purple - A 200
comparison pics or gtfo.Kadey said:Kade from Far Cry Instincts/Predator/err the Wii one not only shares my name but looks sorta like me, acts like me and even has the same background as me. For one, we're both half asian/caucasian. And yeah, I know someone at Ubisoft. OMG!!!
Don't really think it's intended AT ALL, but it could be a homage to HR Giger.HUELEN10 said:

xfactor said:Capcom exist in RE3 (above door)
Todd McFarlane and his company appeared in RE3, and they didn't produce any RE action figures at all if I am not wrong (the big name action figures companies to make RE figures were Moby Dicks, Palisades Toy and currently Neca). The screenshot is taken from the French version of RE3. I guess I must be one of the five people that noticed this.

Anasui Kishibe said:The Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive controller has the exact same pin layout and connector as the Atari 2600. You can actually plug a Genesis controller into an Atari 2600 without any modifications at all and use it as normal
Wikipedia said:From the late 1970s and all through the '80s, DE9s without the pair of fastening screws were almost universal as game controller connectors on video game consoles and home computers, after being made a de facto standard by the use of such game ports in the Atari 2600 game console and the Atari 8-bit family of computers. Computer systems which use them include Atari, Commodore, Amiga, Amstrad, and SEGA systems, among others, but exclude Apple and PC systems and most newer game consoles. Used in the standard way, they support one digital joystick and one pair of analog paddles; on many systems a computer mouse or a light pen is also supported through these sockets, however these mice are not usually exchangeable between different systems. DE9 connectors are also used for some token ring and other computer networks. DA15 is used for Ethernet Attachment Unit Interface.
