Nintendo employees who cannot get 120 stars in Mario Galaxy receive less salary and must eat in a separate canteen labelled 'Fail'.
I hear there is a luxury restaurant for those employees that beat the perfect run in Galaxy 2

Okay this might not be blowing anyones mind but mine but Kurt Davis who works at Harmonix (whose bands THE KONKS song is on the tutorial of Rock Band) played in such Indiana punk bands as Repellents, Primates and Pee Wee Manslaughter and he also drew this iconic cover of Zero Boys - Vicious Circle LP under the name Yukki Gipe!
wow.

I guess at least some of you have noticed that some platforms in the last Bowser level have Goombas and Koopas as a wall texture. (To be honest, I didn't.)

But did you ever notice the textures on the pillars on the topmost platform of this level?

And by the way, if you look behind the wall in the castle room that leads to cool, cool mountain (easily done by standing near the wall ,pressing C-Up and rotating the camera) you can see a floating letter. The American version got a F, the European one got a U and the Japanese one got a N. FUN![/QUOTE]
Mind = blown.
That's actually awesome, 'specially the letter bit.

This particular bit of trivia has been floating around since 1996, passed around the depths of the official Nintendo community forums. It was false then, too.
The 'letter' in question is actually the trap door that leads to the first Bowser level in the game, and is exactly the same in all three regions. It just appears different based on the angle you move the camera into.
That's a bloody awesome reference. Good job on picking it up.Ok, I have another Final Fantasy one for you guys. And I know no one's heard of it, because I'm the only person on the internet who's ever posted about it, even on the FFwiki.
FF13 managed to slip a very, very subtle reference back to FF3.
So Vanille's Eidolon is called Hecatoncheir
And look what's he's defending:
Square-Enix, you clever writers, you slipped a reference that only the most die-hard fans would get. That's on the level of FF8 Hyne with no skin and FF3 Hein who is a skeleton.
So anyways I've posted a LOT of obscure FF facts in this thread....
Would anyone be interested in reading a regular column/blog/thread where I consolidate and talk about these things?

Here Vanille is defending her girlfriend Fang from it.
Here's Fang's Crystal (rotated slightly):
Here is Hecatoncheir's first appearance. He appeared in FF3 (Engrish fan translation, later ones fix the name properly):

haha this is pretty awesome. I bet there are many people out there in the industry with random ties to things like this but don't bother mentioning it because it's so niche to most. Where did you hear about this anyway ?

I wouldn't be surprised if that's Nintendo's way of future-proofing the Virtual Console to support DS games or if there will be some kind of accessory or console model with a DS cartridge slot later on.

Stop teasing. I've only been whining about a "DS Player" for 7 years. I even went so far as to try finding one of the developers' TV-out units at E3 to buy, even briefly considered whether I could steal one.
Does this mean I have finally beaten him?

This is truly mindblowing. And I thought I was impressed to find out that Hecatoncheir was a Magitek Armor in FF13.Ok, I have another Final Fantasy one for you guys. And I know no one's heard of it, because I'm the only person on the internet who's ever posted about it, even on the FFwiki.

I don't think so, unless I'm missing something. You might be thinking of FF8, where it's strongly possible that it takes place in the distant future of FF3's world.Isn't most of FF13 a whole plot reference to FF3, though?
