The Joker infects Batman with the TITAN disease by using his blood. This implies that the blood-type of Batman is AB+, or that The Joker's blood-type is O-. Either that, or they share the same blood-type.

This is implied by Batman not showing any signs of rejecting The Joker's blood. The Joker also has a plan to infect all of Gotham City with the TITAN disease by shipping his blood to the Blood Banks that supply the city. This would further imply that The Joker is actually a Universal Doner, otherwise everyone in Gotham with a non-matching blood type would die of Hyperacute Rejection.

Attachment There are six unused announcer calls for Maven, Kenzo Suzuki, and Mr. America (Hulk Hogan). It's likely they were all meant to be playable characters during development, but it's unknown as to why they were removed. It's unlikely that this was due to their contracts expiring during development, as the game includes several characters on the roster whose contracts expired during development, such as Spike Dudley, Mark Jindrak, and Joy Giovanni.

Attachment Diddy Kong Racing DS is somewhat infamous for introducing the newly redesigned Tiny Kong, who despite being originally conceived by Rare as Dixie Kong's younger sister in Donkey Kong 64, is now depicted as a taller teenager. This design would carry over into future titles such as Donkey Kong Barrel Blast and Mario Super Sluggers.

Contrary to popular belief, as revealed on a December 20, 2007 edition of Rare's Scribes, the decision to redesign Tiny into a teenager was not Rare's call, but Nintendo's, which is appropriate considering Nintendo has retained full ownership of Rare's Donkey Kong characters since the latter company were acquired by Microsoft in 2002, and thus now have full creative control on how they're presented and portrayed.

One detail that is worth pointing out, and may provide an explanation to why Nintendo had no qualms with redesigning a character who was meant to be Dixie's younger sibling into a teenager, is that the Japanese localization of Donkey Kong 64 reportedly makes zero mention of Tiny being related to Dixie, instead just being described by the manuals as just a "Charming girl Kong". It's also worth pointing out that every game that has featured Tiny Kong since 2002, such as Mario Super Sluggers, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. For Wii U has also made zero mention of Tiny's relationship with Dixie Kong, which adds credence to the theory that Nintendo opted to ignore and essentially retcon Rare's initial lore of the two being siblings.

Attachment Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong replaced Conker and Banjo in the DS remake. This is thought to be due to a legal issue, as both IPs belong to Microsoft after Rare were bought by Microsoft in 2002.

Shiver Star, the game's 5th world, appears to be a frozen-over version of Earth, containing several uninhabited urban areas. Nintendo has confirmed that Shiver Star was once inhabited, but the climate drove them to evacuate the planet. This has led fans to speculate that Shiver Star is a post-apocalyptic version of Earth. Though Nintendo's intentions during the making of Shiver Star remains unknown, it can be inferred that the world is either a message about climate change, or the suggestion that the "Kirby" series takes place in our own universe.

In various joke endings throughout the game's story mode, it is shown that protagonist Ragna the Bloodedge has a fear of ghosts. This could possibly be referring to ghosts being immune to Ragna's brutish attacks, which rely on physical weaponry. It also works as a reference to Ragna's rivalry with main antagonist Yuki Terumi, who had inflicted psychological damage to him as a child.

Spoiler:While in Rapture, Booker uses the Bathyspheres for transport. According to an Audio Log in Bioshock, the Bathyspheres were locked to Andrew Ryan's genetic code, and because Jack, the protagonist from Bioshock, had similar DNA to Ryan, he was able to use them. This may imply that both Booker and Elizabeth are in some way related to Andrew Ryan.

Major Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov's character is meant to mock MGS2's effeminate protagonist Raiden, who was met with mixed-to-negative criticism among Metal Gear Solid's western fanbase for replacing Solid Snake as the star. Although it isn't explicitly stated, the game heavily implies that Raikov is Colonol Volgin's gay lover.

This plays an important part during a particular scene when Snake is disguised as Raikov in order to infiltrate the Shagohod testing facility. Snake's cover is blown by Volgin who states that he was "waiting for Raikov in his room." Volgin grabs Snakes' crotch twice, thus revealing his identity. Volgin then exclaims "I know the Major better than anyone else." Volgin later beats Naked Snake to a pulp in retribution for Snake "hurting" Raikov.

Several other small hints at Raikov's sexual orientation are present in the game. If the player attempts to distract Raikov with a pornographic magazine, he will only give a brief glance at it and walk away instead of reading through it. Raikov also wears black underwear with a lightning bolt monogrammed on them (seen after stealing his uniform), a reference to Volgin's powers. EVA also drops hints about his homosexuality during a codec call.

MGS3: Subsistence later dropped more clues about Raikov. In the online mode of Subsistence, players can play Raikov, who's special move is a massive crotch grab that renders his opponent stunned. The Secret Theatre film 'Metal Gear Raiden: Snake Eraser' also jokes about Raikov's homosexuality and his purposeful resemblance to Raiden.

Despite being Volgin's male lover, Volgin himself appears to be bisexual, having an abusive relationship with Tatyana. He is a sadist, however, and treats her rather harshly compared to Raikov, whom he adores.

At one point in the game, The Warden can obtain a long sword named "Oathkeeper". The sword is described as a blessed blade commissioned by The Chantry and given to Templars as a reward for their deeds. It has been speculated that the sword is a homage to George R.R. Martin's book series "A Song of Ice and Fire", as the sword shares the same name as the sword given to Jaime Lannister by his father Tywin, which Jaime later passes to Brienne of Tarth who then names the sword. It is known that the book series was an inspiration during game development.

Attachment Red's party in the Generation II games is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I. Charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise, and Pikachu are available in all iterations of the original Kanto plot. Espeon could have been obtained as an Eevee in Celadon City, and Eevee notably serves as Blue's starter in Pokemon Yellow. Lapras is given away by a Silph Co. employee, and two Snorlax are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to Fuchsia City. Furthermore, in the Generation II games, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking Route 12 (now blocking the entrance to Diglett's Cave) is available to the player, suggesting that Red defeated it and caught the one blocking Route 16. His party in the Generation II games also matches that of Red in the Pokemon Adventures manga during his venture to Mt. Silver, although Pokemon Adventures' Red borrowed Charizard and Blastoise temporarily from the characters Blue and Green, as he didn't own those Pokemon.

During the phone-call scene between President Lyndon B. Johnson and Premier Nikita Khrushchev, Johnson mentions that the Russians refer to The Boss as "Voyevoda."

"Voyevoda" is a Russian word for "warrior", "knight in training" or "leader of an organisation", and can refer to someone in the military or government with a degree of power. When used in regards to a female, it can also mean "lady knight." As Russia has had a number of famous queens in its history, this is considered a highly respectful nickname for The Boss.
