The Master System was actually Sega's second console. The SG-1000 was released in Japan and had a very limited release in Europe and Australia but it was not released in North America.

Master System is sort of an upgraded SG-1000 (which is made out of the same stuff as the MSX1 and Colecovision).
(as the MS is backward-compatible, but the BIOS in western consoles won't be able to detect the cart, even if you have a pin converter)

I've played the game since it originally came out, but for some reason I never realized the Sunken Ghost Ship in Super Mario World is actually an airship from Super Mario Bros. 3.

In Europe and Australia, Sonic the Hedgehog 1 was released before Super Mario Bros 3.

Reading early EGMs, Konami wanted to release Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa in North America as "Babyland" but Nintendo told them the game wasn't good enough. They needed those chips for games like Back to the Future!

When I was little, I always thought that Samus was a guy.

Not really surprising about Samus, the NES manual DID call her a dude. (apparently even the Japanese manual specified her as a male, even though it's easier to just ignore in Japanese)

About the PC-FX, wasn't that nearly its entire library?
(so I hear one of the few good non-hentai games for it costs over 300 bucks now and yet you could beat it in about a half hour)

As @ogo79 said, the SNS-RZ-USA is a prime giveaway that it's not a legit retail cart.

That's scary, looks like there are shelves of heads, and King Hippo looks like a butter man who is slowly melting.

I used to think as a kid that Super Mario 64 was the 64th game in the series up until I was like 13-14 xD

I thought that the ladders that weren't complete in the original Donkey Kong game were worthless. A little while ago I realized that you could use them to avoid projectiles.

That in Final Fantasy VI, Emperor Gestahl doesn't have a dog head. It's just an elaborate hat. Also, the protagonist and female lead of Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana look the same.

That the original Resident Evil has an alternate beginning sequence where you never see the video of the zombie turning his head at you.

The box art for the Japanese version of the Sega Genesis/MD's "The Ooze" is probably the weirdest video game box art of all time.

That Super Mario Sunshine contains a reference to The Shining.

There is nothing here...except for the stuff I just typed...
