Attachment Krystal has the unique distinction of being the only playable character in Star Fox Command to pilot two different spacecrafts and also sport two different attires depending on the route taken.

In some missions, primarily when she rejoins Star Fox, she wears a pink jumpsuit and pilots the CloudRunner. In other missions, primarily when she's hanging with Star Wolf, she wears a traditional Cornerian Defense Force attire with a flight jacket, scarf and helmet, and she pilots the Cornerian Fighter that Bill Grey also uses.

Attachment Print adverts for Zoop give the pieces in the game their own names:

• The olive-shaped green piece is called "Ganggreenus"
• The martini-glass-shaped purple piece is called "Martinicocki"
• The boomerang-shaped blue piece is called "Infectococci"
• The baby's-dummy-shaped orange piece is called "Lockjawbacilli"
• The yellow splat-shaped piece, used as a power-up in the game, is called "Fungusamungus"
• A spiral-shaped piece, not present in the game but resembling the spring power-ups, is called "Mosquitick"

It should be noted that the splat and spring pieces are given different names in the game's manual: "Color Bomb" and "Bonus Spring" respectively.

The patterned square pieces from the Game Boy version of the game do not have names.

When the game first launched, the servers failed due to the massive influx of players, making the game almost unplayable due to its online-only nature. The outages lasted for days after launch, causing the developers to address the issue in a livestream, without confirming whether or not the always-online game will receive an offline mode.

Attachment Outside of Tricky, the two dinosaur species from Star Fox Adventures that reappear (as corpses infected by the Aparoids) in Star Fox Assault's Sauria mission are of the ThornTail and HighTop tribes.

Strangely, while the ThornTails are mostly faithful enough to their Star Fox Adventures models, the HighTops differ, primarily in skin pattern and coloration, being presented as green in Assault as opposed to yellow/beige in Adventures.

The player characters in Cartoon Cartoon Summer Resort, as opposed to being established Cartoon Network characters, all originated from pilots featured in Cartoon Network's 2000 "The Big Pick" event, where viewers could vote on their favorite cartoon from a selection of pilots, with the most popular being made into a full series - Uncle Gus originated from "Uncle Gus", Longhair originated from "Longhair and Doubledome", Vivian originated from "Foe Paws", and Prickles the Cactus originated from "Prickles the Cactus".

Neither of the two pilots from the 2000 Big Pick that would be picked up as full Cartoon Cartoons (Whatever Happened to Robot Jones? and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy) were featured in Summer Resort.

During development, the mother of the game's lead designers Brian and Andrew Allanson was diagnosed with cancer, which eventually resulted in her death. This lead the team to rework certain parts of the game's plot, aiming to have "a more 'humanistic' perspective" and "sand down some of the game's more cynical edges". By the end, nearly a quarter of the game had been remade, including a slight change to the game's ending.

Suikoden II
Suikoden II (1998)
▲

▼
Attachment According to Suikosource user JiN88, the Japanese demo of Suikoden II contains two debug/testing rooms.

The first test room claims to be in Radat Town, despite seeming to be in Kyaro Town. The room contains various warping and unfinished textures, out-of-place objects like barrels, and two non-functioning Warp points. Of the warp points, one can be found down near a river and loads nothing, while the other can be found near a bridge with an Anita NPC and some invisible objects. While this test room seems to be empty, except for one small area featuring several invisible objects, a pushable tree that you can talk to, and a row of NPCs that can be pushed, but cannot be interacted with without crashing the game. There are also two Gabocha NPCs, one of which can warp you back to somewhere else in the test room, while the other has some dialogue and acts like a shopkeeper. Finishing the conversation with the shopkeeper Gabocha will cause the game to crash. Interacting with any Anita NPC will cause the game to crash.

The second test room contains several repeating groups of Anita, Gengen, and Old Man NPCs in a sort of army formation. The name of this second debug room is "神様の村" which means "Village of God"/"God's village". Talking to the Anita and Gengen NPC groups will have them say a single line of dialogue (the Anitas however will have no text), and once finished will cause the game to try and load something, which results in the game crashing. It's thought that they would try to warp you somewhere with a cutscene. Raww Le Klueze, global admin of the Suikosource forums, has translated this room's dialogue as such:

"The Gengens each say:
• "I am the sound change god"
• "I am the sound test god"
• "I am the window change god"
• "I am the unit change god" (for this phrase, he uses the same word as Apple does when you rearrange war units)

Some of what the Old Man says follows the same format "I am the god of !" in the middle row
Library, Suggestion box, Restaurant, Cooking Battles, Guardian Deity and Peeping...? (He also laughs after that one. Bath scenes maybe?)

Top says "The detective god is here!"
Bottom "Fishing god here!" "I'm the god of tablets" (same word as the plates found in the Sindar ruins, presumably tests that?)

Last one on the bottom I don't know, he just seems to be making noise cause it just says BABANBABANBANBAN - HAAPIBANONO."

This latter piece of dialogue might be a reference to the song "Nice Hot Water", a 1966 song in the "Nihon no Uta" Japanese local song series that was famously covered by the Japanese comedy rock band The Drifters. The first line before the hyphen is the same as the song, and the second line after the hyphen is almost the same as the song.

Attachment Star Fox Adventures has (to say the least) a pretty infamous scene where Fox McCloud, upon visiting the rooftop of Krazoa Palace for the first time, sees the imprisoned and unconscious Krystal and becomes immediately infatuated with her at first sight, all while romantic saxophone music plays in the background.

According to the game's composer, David Wise, the saxophone music was a satirical tongue-in-cheek reference and nod to the Love Theme from the film "Blade Runner", which was composed by Vangelis. The music itself is a remix of the theme that was originally composed for Discovery Falls, an area from Dinosaur Planet that was cut in the transition to Star Fox Adventures, and thus can now be heard in Cape Claw in the final game.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (2024)

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is the first game in the "Batman: Arkham" series to not feature Batman as the main protagonist, though he does still appear in the game. At The Game Awards 2022, a trailer for the game was released which ended with a brief tribute to longtime Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy, who passed away on November 10, 2022. Host Geoff Keighley then confirmed that Conroy would be voicing Batman "one final time" in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League; this game being Conroy's final performance as Batman was a major promotional point in online articles. However, on January 30, 2024, days prior to the game's release, IGN reported that there were two additional projects he recorded lines for as Batman prior to his death that would be released posthumously. While one of those projects, "Batman: Caped Crusader", ultimately did not feature Conroy, the other reported project, "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part 3", was later confirmed to be Conroy's actual final performance as Batman, making his purported last performance in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League false advertising.

Attachment Titania, being called the "Forbidden Planet", is the only stage in all of Star Fox 64 to not feature any of Andross' forces. Instead, all of the enemies and defense systems, including the boss Goras, are said to be remnants of an ancient alien civilization, with Goras being said to be a bio-weapon the ancient people modified before they went extinct. The official Japanese Star Fox 64 guide (as well as the Star Fox 64 Official Player's Guide) hints that the underwater ruins seen in the oceans of Aquas are connected to the ancient ruins on Titania.

As it did for Bacoon and the underwater ruins of Aquas, the Star Fox 64 Official Player's Guide would expand upon Goras' and Titania's backstory, claiming that it was formerly a green lush planet, and that the ancient people who lived there were an advanced agrarian civilization that would leave behind their harvests at temples that existed in each town to appease Goras. It claims that the civilization was destroyed by an asteroid colliding with Titania, leaving Goras as the only surviving creature on the planet that was now a barren wasteland, and it also claims that it was modified by Andross.

Outerloop Games began the development process by selecting three ideas for games to present to others in the video games industry in a pitch deck. The idea that would later became Thirsty Suitors received the most positive attention. Chandana Ekanayake, co-founder and creative director of Outerloop Games, noted that most individuals the game was pitched to were middle-aged white men, prompting him to change the pitching strategy: focusing on the lack of South Asian narratives in games, and highlighting the success of such stories in other media (i.e. the film "Bend it Like Beckham" and the television series "Never Have I Ever").

Dottori-Kun, a 1991 demake of Sega's 1979 maze game Head-On, was created not to be played, but rather as a legal loophole around Japan's Electrical Appliance and Material Control Law which claimed that all arcade machines must contain a game when sold. Dottori-Kun allowed Sega to sell generic Astro City arcade machines which the arcade owner could swap the contents of at their leisure, and included test features to ensure the machine worked properly before installing a proper game. The game did not support coin insertion, and therefore was not a viable option for arcades even if an owner believed there was an audience for its simplistic gameplay and graphics, leading to the board being scrapped most of the time.
