"CRUSH"
"KILL"
"DESTROY"
and ummm..
STRESS?
Listening to Pharaoh Monch's new Album I realized something. I think Street Fighter 3's Urien = Organized Konfusion(Stress). I mean Hip Hop was a heavy influence in SF3's production.
I's alsoa nod to Lost in Space where a robot would yell those 3 words

Crush, Kill, Destroy.
It's more mind-blowing to me that people ever saw it that way.

Man, great find. And what a great song...
Firing up Xbox Music right now to look for their albums.
Nice spotting, love that show!
...I don't get it. I never saw it any other way.
Oh wow, is that why I had déjà vu when I saw Game Grumps beat that guy in their playthrough?!
I'm only just now remembering that I used to think Metapod looked like a fucked up green bean. Actually I think I caught one in FireRed and named it Peapod.
This is likely correct. The SF team has always been good at putting in references in details.
Look at Ken's Stage:
See if you spot all the cameos.
found this after some googling:
same here.

Since Metapod came up...
Something else that lends itself to the "Venomoth was the original Butterfree" myth;
Caterpie and Metapod are both based on the caterpillar and cocoon of the Tiger Swallowtail butterfly, which has the 'swallowtail' seen in Venomoth.

I already pointed out all the the characters, well besides yours that has Cammy fighting Ken in the stage.
Do you remember the Golemech fight in Starfox 64, when you take the easy route to venom, the one in the tunnel?
I always thought that the tunnel is endless, just using the same trick as the endless staircase in Super Mario 64.
Turns out this tunnel is not endless. That boss fight is timed.
After about 6-7 minutes, you will get an extra life and then crash into multiple walls that you won't survive no matter what.
See it here (Bad quality). And what happens if you use a infinite shield cheat (Good Quality)

At least they give you the extra life. But why bother? Might as well make it infinite. That makes me wonder about the Venom robot boss from the original game that also had an "endless" track. I can't see that one ending as none of the battles end. Galactic Rider. (I always wondered what was up with the road rendering on the left side.)
I guess if you manage to get the life and then immediately kill the boss you could keep it?

Not exactly true. The one that was destroyed was unfinished.
The one that flew was bought by the Technik Museum Speyer in Germany and is on permanent display.
What about the other two they found in abandoned hangars in 2013? I wonder what ever happend to them.
I don't know if this belongs here, I was watching the movie Pompeii(2014) and noticed the Stable sound from Age of Empires being played at about 00:04:15 sec.
The part where the little boy?! is walking through the middle of the battle, and as that lady goes to grab him and gets knocked down you hear it in all its glory
Had to verify by hearing the stable's sound, its been a while

Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow -> Castlevania DS

#13 could be Michelle Heart from that 80s shoot'em-up Wings of Ares (forgot its English name).
That doesn't quite work though. It should be Castlevania: DoS, similarly to games like Secret of Mana is abbreviated as SoM, not SM for example.

Yeah, Using the DS as subtitle was pretty popular during the first years of the console, some examples:
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Bleach: Dark Souls
Lunar: Dragon Song
Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits
Tenchu: Dark Secret
Bubble Bobble: Double Shot
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Dig Dug: Digging Strike
Fullmetal Alchemist: Dual Sympathy
Guilty Gear Dust Strikers
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
Peggle Dual Shot
Resident Evil: Deadly Silence
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Bleach: Dark Souls
Lunar: Dragon Song
Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits
Tenchu: Dark Secret
Bubble Bobble: Double Shot
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Dig Dug: Digging Strike
Fullmetal Alchemist: Dual Sympathy
Guilty Gear Dust Strikers
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
Peggle Dual Shot
Resident Evil: Deadly Silence
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
Bleach was the original dark souls!?
I think this was actually an intentional troll.

Yep. You just lose your suit. When I was a kid I had a Game Genie and the code that let you keep the suits forever would cause the game to lock up and get stuck in a pause loop when you entered the final door. (And it mentioned this in the code book too.) At the time I had no idea why. Now I know it's because the game is trying to "damage" you through scripting in order to let you in but since the code is "Mario turns into Hammer Mario when damaged" the game gets stuck in a logic loop.
If Mario > Super Mario then Damage --> If Mario > Super Mario then Damage --> If Mario > Super Mario then Damage...
Nah. That's just the King's ignorance. It's a suit. But since he doesn't understand he assumes it's magic.Uuuuh, at the end of that frog vid, he says mario has been transformed
It's like if you brought a cave man or some other person from history before technology existed, the first thing they'd think when seeing your cell phone, laptop, TV and car is "MAGIC! YOU'RE A GOD OR THE DEVIL!"
So he offers to help Mario turn back to human. It's all just a little comic relief. For the frog suit he thinks you're transformed. For the hammer suit he asks if you'd mind lending him your suit. I forget if and what he says for the Tanooki suit.

It's Legendary Wings, I believe. You might be right about that.

Well that and the king himself (each of the seven of them) was just transformed back to his proper self from an animal curse seconds earlier using that wand.
Holy mother of God... my childhood has been a lie all along.
My mind's mostly blown by the fact that so many people apparently thought Metapod faced away from the thing it was attacking.
But then I'm an Agahnim-with-a-plump-face guy, so what do I know?

Yup. Soya Oka, composer of Pilotwings and Sim City. Quite unlike Koji Kondo's style if you ask me.
Drag-On Dragoon 3 (Drakegard 3) has the following world map:
They seem to be using the Hebrew-like alphabet that these same producers also used in Nier, and the names of the locations, when read in that font, match the names used in the Japanese game.
But on the compass at the bottom, the letter shin (S in the font they used in Nier) is at the top, and the letter nun (N) is at the bottom.
Why would they reverse south and north like that?
Perhaps it's because if the map were flipped upside-down, people would notice that

Haha, I remember all of those rumours that were obviously fake came out many of them employed the DS acronym. Devil May Cry: Dance of Sparda was the one that stood out the most. Still laughing at that. Surprised netiher DMC PSP or DS ever came to fruition, really.
No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle was an awesome troll.
