Topic: Things you didn't know about certain video games for years

Is that a joke?
Or is it something just in the movie.
Because it doesn't in the game.

I had no idea Ninja Gaiden was pronounced like THAT!!!

Prounced how? I'm guessing it's not something like Ninja Gay-den (there is no joke there).

That's how me and all my friends IRL have pronounced it over the years. It's technically pronounced this way:

Pokémon Black was what got me back into the franchise but it wasn't until years later after I 'learned' all of the Pokémon that I realised Rotom's name is Motor spelled backwards. I facepalmed for half the day.

I didn't realize you got the drift boost thing in Mario Kart from being behind other people until recently. ._."

that gamefreak was 2 party for Nintendo i thought that they were first party google it.

I didn't know that Peach's final smash song in SSBB is actually the song that plays when you are in the clouds in SMB3.

Just found this out recent. But a dental imagine equipment company bought the mold plates for the Atari Jaguar system to use as a casing for a dental camera.

in super mario world, its possible for Yoshi to eat Blargs

DonkeyKong Country and DonkeyKong Country Returns, both came out on November 21 in the US.

In Sonic 3 & Knuckles's Carnival night zone act 3, playing as Hyper Sonic or Super Tails, you can find your way into an unfinished part of the game near the end of the level. Where all the platforms are not solid.

In Metal Gear Solid, the boss fight against Psycho Mantis, I never knew you could plug the controller into the second slot and not have your mind read by him. However I plowed on and managed to defeat him by using pretty much every bit of ammo I had. I learnt later on from friends about this and they couldn't believe I had made it through. I did feel a bit embarrassed and proud at the same time, a weird combo

Well, I knew that since it was out. And I was disappointed they didn't remake the original commercials.
(I mean the game technically still wasn't on any CD consoles or 32X )

Dude, I recall trying to tell you that years ago, but you missed it.

@CanisWolfred: Did you? You are right I must have missed that and now I am trying to remember when. My apologies man.

I don't remember how long it took me to find out about Biggoron's Sword in "Ocarina of Time", or that using the Lens of Truth would make reaching that last Heart Piece much less of a headache. I also remember being absolutely thrilled at around age 12, when a friend showed me the warps in the original "Super Mario Bros." game. It took me a long time to even think of shooting Bowser with fireballs.

Puzzle Bobble (Bust a Move) has the enemies from Bubble Bobble inside the Bubbles. (Suppose that is quite a common one).

Kamek in Yoshi's Island...

is actually male.

You're not the only one, from what I can tell online, Kamek's gender is one of the most often confused things about the Mario series, along with Birdo's gender and Antasma's gender (from Mario & Luigi Dream Team). Didn't make that mistake myself though.

As for myself, mostly localisation stuff I didn't know about. Like how Luigi's Mansion had changed the Hidden Mansion and game structure in the PAL version, so you HAD to beat the Hidden Mansion to get enough money/treasure for an A rank. That really messed me up, especially given how it seems most walkthroughs are written by Americans.

Or that the e-Reader functionality was removed from the PAL version of Super Mario Advance 4 (without gameshark/action replay usage). Thanks for making that clear internet, only after I'd imported an e-Reader!

Birdo's gender is simply a censorship issue.
