Videogame facts that blow your mind (SuperMarioBros. SHOCKING SECRET INSIDE p #70)

Every company in those days recycled their assets, but that's not the point. The point of CloudBush and BlockTank is that no one made the connection, even after looking at them side-by-side, until someone pointed it out.

Well, OK. It's still not quite as mindblowing as cloudbush. Since both the cloud and the bush sprites were visible in the same screen in SMB, and some people wouldn't make the connection. :p
 
I don't think that Capcom recycling art assets is really a mindblowing fact.

Though, this does remind me that the original Duke Nukem for PC did steal art assets from both Mega Man (PC Version) and Turrican...

The others can definitely be claimed to be ripped off, but this one? They're a similar design, sure, but they're clearly not the same asset.

I can still hear Ocarina of Time's intro theme being the Recorder/Whistle item tone from LoZ and SMB 3.
I love this.
 
lol @ PC Mega Man.

And woah @ bad Duck Tales ending! Love the game so much, played it millions of times, but never once have I seen that before heh.

"Congratulations" lol.
 
My first thought was "bullshit, they just look similar". But damn, it's the exact same sprite minus "E". New cloudbush?

The striping patterns are different, too. They were probably designed from the same template, but they're not expressly identical.

edit: Also, spambot is indeed the most mindblowing thing here since cloudbush.


edit edit: By the way, who's "REY"? What's that all about?

I'm surprised people wouldn't know about that ending. I found it pretty easy to miss emeralds on my first playthroughs as a kid. I was like 6 though I guess.

Also was there no Sonic 2 on Master System in the US? Everyone seems to refer back to the Game Gear version.

There was. People don't usually think about the Master System though.

Yeah, the Master System version of Sonic 2 never got an American release. The console was long dead over there by that point in time. :(

Well .. the game got a SOUTH american release because of the insanity popularity of Master System here


But then again, here in Brazil is the only place in the world with an official version of Street Fighter 2 for Master =P

Obviously you were too good at the game, Platy

Actualy It is more of a "first time I finished the game on something that is not the Genesis" thing .... Genesis' Sonic 2 has a bad ending, but not that bad
 
Yeah, I referenced the bad ending in the Sonic Community thread OP lol.

I hated that game. For the longest time, it was the only game I owned on the Game Gear.

Interesting, thanks for the responses!

Was Game Gear successful then? Cos it was a massive dud here in NZ at the time I think.

Fake edit: Now I've got the Toot Toot Sonic Warrior 8 bit music in my head, doh!
