Attachment There are actually two versions of the game Nier. Nier: Gestalt (an Xbox 360 exclusive title) features an older version of the protagonist, while Nier: Replicant (a PS3 exclusive title) features a younger version. Originally the team had trouble deciding on what kind of protagonist they wanted for the game so they decided to make one game with an older protagonist to appeal to western audiences and a younger to appeal to Japanese audiences. Nier: Replicant was never released in the west.

Attachment Before destroying the support pillars and causing the fourth floor to collapse onto the third, the four rooms in the center of Eagle's Tower's third floor are entirely different, consisting primarily of an extremely large pit. Of these rooms, the upper two are inaccessible and never normally seen in-game. It appears the one on the left was meant to be used, but due to the way the crystal switches work, the blocks controlled by them will always deny you entry. And even if it was accessible, the pit is too open and can easily lead to getting trapped on the second floor. Interestingly, while the room is inaccessible, it was still updated after the first version.

To the right of that room is one that was definitely never intended to be used at all, consisting only of a "down" staircase leading up to the fourth floor, presumably for testing purposes. It's also the only way to get up there. (Leaving the 4F area in any direction will take you to blank "default" rooms.)

These rooms are also present in the DX version.

Attachment Animal Crossing is only one of four versions of the same game. Three of which were only released in Japan. The first version was for the Nintendo 64, entitled "Dobutsu no Mori", which translates to "Animal Forest". The second version, "Dobutsu no Mori +", was an enhanced remake of the original game, released on the Gamecube. This was the version that would be localized as Animal Crossing in the United States. The final version, "Dobutsu no Mori e+", was a second enhanced remake released on the Gamecube. There was also an unreleased sequel to "Animal Crossing", tentatively entitled "Animal Crossing 2".

Attachment Despite being an E-rated game, the intro got away with mild swearing. Near the end of the song, the last line during Chunky Kong's portion of the song says, "But this kong's one hell of a guy". The game was developed by Rare, a British company, and in Great Britain the word isn't considered offensive. In later versions of the song the word is replaced with "heck".

It featured almost identical gameplay to that game and lifted level designs from Super Mario Bros., but instead replaced the enemies with Japanese celebrities. It was based on the popular Japanese radio program, "All Night Nippon", and was given away as a raffle prize from the program itself.

The music for the Fire Temple once had chanting of an Islamic prayer as a part of the background music. The chanting was a stock sound effect from a sound library collection called "Voice Spectral - Volume 1" released by 'best service', and it also showed up in games like Cruis'n World for the Nintendo 64 and Kakuto Chojin: Back Alley Brutal for Xbox. Seeing the problems it could have caused, Nintendo changed it, and the updated version of the Fire Temple replaced the chanting with the wails and moans from the Shadow Temple's music.

Arin Hanson, also known by his YouTuber alias Egoraptor, provided the voice for Dr. Bruce Banner during the development of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance after winning a contest held by Activision. Hanson described the experience recording Banner's lines as "humiliating" as it was the first time he had to work in a professional recording booth let alone for a AAA video game, and believed it was a bad performance. Hanson initially claimed in 2013 that his voice was used in the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS versions of the game, but a DS version does not exist and he is not credited in the PSP version. In a later email correspondence with a user from the Lost Media Wiki, he stated he recorded his voice after Activision informed him that it would be used in select versions of the game, those being the Wii, PSP and PlayStation 3 versions. Since this was also a local contest, Activision assumed that all auditions were coming from Los Angeles and in the surrounding areas. Hanson got a "congratulations" email and was invited to Los Angeles for recording, but he was unavailable at the time. His recordings ultimately went unused in favor of another voice actor due to time constraints from Hanson only getting a chance to record late in development. However, his unused recordings would end up being added in the 2016 re-release of the game.

In original copies of Half-Life, During Chapter 3, there is a secret room in map c1a1c that can only be accessed by enabling cheat mode and noclipping through the floor. The room is made of tiled pictures of Valve co-founder Gabe Newell. The room still exists in later versions of the game, although the imagery of Newell has been removed and attempting to enter the room takes you back into the normal map.
