Note that she was actually called Thelma on the official Japanese site before it adopted the North American romanizations.

It's close, but no cigarette. I guess it's just a coincidence.

There is no 00CC00 in the NES color palette.

[Josh7289]

The NES doesn't even have an RGB color palette. It's NTSC, so none of this hex code stuff even applies.

For those who've beaten Killzone 2 and seen the ending.

Spoiler

Ok, if you all watch the opening cutscene of Killzone 2, you see plain as day that Visari's eyes are a light green/lime color. Flashforward to the ending, look at his eyes when he gets into Sev's face saying "You have not won...", if you're watching in HD, you can clearly see his eyes are dark brown.

Spoiler

This leads me to believe that the Visari Rico killed was not Visari, rather a double. Why do I say this? Why would Colonel Radec, arguably Visari's most loyal lapdog, leave his master unprotected in case of his failure? There were NO guards protecting Visari at all. Visari had an undertone of edging Rico on. Knowing his death would escalate the war his soldiers would fight harder, while a "Shadow" leader was replaced while only his most trusted advisors knew the true circumstances of his "death.

Holy crap....never even noticed that.

Passing resemblance, but I immediately identified it as (most likely) Crocomire.

Wada
This is a great opportunity, so I have something I'd like to say. In Punch-Out!!, the game gives you a lot of hints about effective timing of punches. There is a big boxer called Bald Bull in the NES version as well and a light flashes to the right in the audience when he charges. If you punch when it flashes you will land a body blow.
Tanabe
What? Really?
Wada
No one has known about that for about 22 years…
Everyone
(laughter)
Wada
I was wondering when I would have a chance to tell people that.
Iwata
You've been holding that information for 22 years since the release. (laughs)
Wada
Now that I had the chance. (laughs) There are a lot of hidden elements in the NES version.

Goddamn unbelievable. Twenty two YEARS!

[Sixfortyfive]

If you do some digging in one of the prototype versions of Dynamite Headdy released in that huge Sega ROM dump from a year and a half back (I think), you can find some interesting music data located between 00061ACE and 00062333.

It's a copy of the "Beat It" music track from Michael Jackson's Moonwalker.

When the jaw's harp kicked in I instantly thought of that. And I completely disregarded that thought after the rest of the music played. There's nothing else referencing that old classic in there...

And thats why Nintendo has been the gaming god for so many years.
They know and love game design like no one else.

Uh... that's exactly what it is.

Wears the skull of its deceased mother. Its cries echo inside the skull and come out as a sad melody.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Uh... that's exactly what it is.

Jesus.

Wow, duh. I guess I forgot about that, but I still never made the connection to a kangaskhan.

This is pretty much common knowledge (well, more likely obvious knowledge), but this video is so well done...

World of Warcraft dances are all based of real dances:

Think of it as "WoW dances are based off these videos"

Not that mind-blowing but I liked it about DQV

You met a character claiming to be a zenthian named Dr. Agon. Later he is revealed to be the Zenthian Dragon. Dragon, Dr. Agon. Well I liked it >_>

[Captain Smoker]

Probably old as Yamauchi, but who cares:


There are three N64 - versions of Ocarina of Time:

Version 1.0 (Original launch version, discontinued after ~two/three months)

Version 1.1 (Next version, minor edits)

Version 1.2 looks like Version 1.1 but it had the most changes and it's the most common version.


The changes:

Ganon coughs blood in the original, but it was recolored into green in the other versions.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_nCxM9ofhI (Fire Temple Music - Original)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH6xUvWKspk (Fire Temple Music - New Version)

The original music contained arabic chanting, but it was removed in the new versions due to complains of several muslims.


The Gerudo symbol has been also changed (in the GCN - version):

Original symbol:

New symbol:

Original:

They replaced every texture. >_>


This text also doesn't exist in the new versions:

etc. xD

 

[SovanJedi]

Probably old as Yamauchi, but who cares:


stuffs

I knew about that - in fact my copy of Ocarina of Time was one of these originals without the changes. Never knew about the Gerudo textures or the writing about them eyeballs though.

Also, that Cubone thing is freaking mindblowing.

 

[Prime Blue]

CAPCOM is the abbreviation for the original company subsidiary called Capsule Computer. Nothing spectacular about that, but guess where the other syllables went...

SULEPUTER

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

Wow @ Cubone.

Also, since we're doing name origins, SEGA = Service Games. They used to be an American company that dealt with pinball games overseas.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

2 small possible mind blows -

The voice of Marcus Phoenix was also the voice of Wakka / Kimahri in FF10.

The music in Tenpenny Tower (Fallout 3) is the exact same music in the Mall multiplayer map on Kane & Lynch.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

Joe Dimaggio, yes. He was also Bender.

You know what, Cubone's always bugged the hell out of me. How does its mother dying and it deciding to wear her skull make it an entirely different species? It makes no goddamn sense.

Gotta admit though, it's kinda bad ass. Or creepy.

Mostly depressing.

 

[the thoroughbred]

Twilight Princess has many Easter Eggs. It's such an overdeveloped game. The attention to detial is mind blowing. But I've said this a million times. In fact I don't think there exists a game, that has had that much attention to detail.

Apparently, and this was said officially, you can chop down some sign post, and put it in the river, and it will float all the way down, across Hyrule. I don't exactly know which or how to do this.

 

[Orpheon]

^ .. From Part 10 of the Iwata Asks Roundtable Interview of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess:

Miyamoto:

It's a well-known fact that Zelda games always have signposts that can be sliced apart by the player. The village at the beginning of this game is no exception. However in this game, finally, the pieces you cut off can be picked up!

All:

(roaring laughter)

See for yourself:

I've had so much fun doing this, and if you cut smaller pieces they can be picked up with one hand and thrown accordingly.

That's where I read it, that's why I said it was officially said.

But I've never remembered to do this while playing. Apparently they don't just float, they go all the way downstream. I don't think it's true, there are many places where the game needs to be loaded, I am certain they didn't go that far. Imagine doing it fro Zora's domain and seeing it on Hyrule field, getting caught on the grills.
