Attachment There's a teaser poster for "Biohazard 4" outside a movie theater near the Grill 13 diner. "Biohazard" is the Japanese name for the Resident Evil series. At the time Nemesis was released, "Biohazard 4" probably referred to the game that became Devil May Cry, rather than Resident Evil 4.

Attachment The hidden black Chao egg found within the Egg Carrier has a unique texture in the original version for the Dreamcast. It was blue and black with pink spots. This was probably so that it would fit in better with its surroundings. This was changed in later releases of the game to solid black. Opening it will hatch a regular black Chao with seemingly no special qualities, however.

There are quite a few base potions in the game's code that were left with no method to craft them in 1.9 beta pre-release 3. These potions include: Clear, Diffuse, Artless, Thin, Bungling, Suave, Smooth, Debonair, Charming, Refined, Cordial, Sparkling, Potent, Rank, Acrid, Gross, and Stinky.

While they can still be obtained using commands, they have no effect, and take the appearance of a water bottle.

The "Meet the Medic" class video was originally going to follow the interview format that the previous Meet the Team videos had used.

After a lot of iteration, with different scenes being scrapped for different reasons, the team realized they were putting too much focus on the creation of the Medigun and not the Medic himself. Once they found the right idea, the video came together relatively quickly.

Company: Konami

▼
Konami formed Ultra Games in the US and and Palcom in Europe as a way of circumventing a Nintendo licensing policy which stipulated that each third-party could only release 5 titles per year for the NES. With an extra publishing arm, Konami was able to publish 10 titles per year.

Their hold on a trademark for "Ultra Games" would later prevent Nintendo from using the name "Ultra 64" for one of their consoles.

Nintendo had strict licensing policies for the NES as a way to encourage quality over quantity, in hopes of avoiding the fate of Atari during the video game crash of 1983. Third parties were limited to releasing 5 titles per year for the NES, all titles had to be reviewed by Nintendo before they would be licensed, and the console had a system to lock out unauthorized games that did not contain the necessary patented chip as a way to enforce Nintendo's control.

A combination of third-party developer pushback, legal challenges, and competition from other console manufacturers such as Sega eventually forced them to relax their policies.

If Mr. Game & Watch absorbs 3 strong enough projectiles (Such as 3 fully charged PK Flashes) using oil panic and uses it against a shielding character, their shield will be broken, and Mr. Game & Watch will be sent flying back at extreme speeds. Unless there is a wall behind him to stop him, he will die almost instantly. This is known as the "Kamikaze Glitch".

Franchise: Disgaea
▲
1
▼
A recurring item in the Disgaea series is an item called the Accelerator. Purportedly equipped to a character's teeth, this item increases a character's movement range. This is a reference to the famed anime and manga Cyborg 009; the titular ninth cyborg could reach extremely high speeds by pressing a button hidden in one of his teeth.

The cyborg Kurtis is also a reference to Cyborg 009. He bears a strong resemblance to 002 Jet Link, and they both have rockets in their feet. In Disgaea 2, the first of his optional stages rewards the player with an Accelerator, and in Disgaea 3, his second Magichange skill is called Accelerate.

The flame at the center is the START button, and the chairs are where the Nintendo GameCube logo would be. The two cabana huts are positioned to form the D-pad and C analog stick.
