| Feb 3, 2025, 10:27 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Franchise: Pikmin | Olimar seems a lot bigger then that in the Smash Bros. series, only slightly taller then Kirby. |
| Jan 29, 2025, 8:50 PM | Rocko & Heffer | Franchise: Mario | I am aware that that was mentioned and my reasoning wasn't, my reasoning was moreso just the reason the idea of putting Mario there appealed to me and how I would've created backups in that situation, moreso than speculative. |
| Jan 29, 2025, 8:17 PM | chocolatejr9 | Franchise: Mario | I imagine it had less to do with the fact that Mario isn't much of a fighter, and more about having a sort of "audience surrogate". According to the vid linked, while the Sonic and Mega Man casts would already be familiar with one another by that point, the Mario cast would have no idea about anything going on, and likely would have gone against the other two casts initially until things get cleared up (kinda like what happened in the first crossover, Worlds Collide). Since the Mario cast would be new to the whole thing, it'd also give the writers an excuse to explain the crossovers to any new readers that hadn't read them before. |
| Jan 29, 2025, 7:03 PM | Rocko & Heffer | Franchise: Mario | Pac-Man or Crash Bandicoot would've been a decent fit for that role Mario was supposed to take in Worlds at War, given that like Mario they both have a sort of element of being "not really fighters", what with Crash being a stupid comic relief even in his own games and Pac-Man being typically personified as a white-picket-fence 50s dad. |
| Jan 25, 2025, 10:20 AM * | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Donkey Kong 64 | Some brother King K Rool has with his massive size, I don't think they're even the same sort of Kremling. |
| Jan 21, 2025, 11:36 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: SoulCalibur IV | Pity they left out a version for a Nintendo System at the time of it's release, so they couldn't have a matching Star Wars character for that. |
| Jan 20, 2025, 10:36 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games | Had a look at those very credits myself, which shows 4Kids VAs Amy Birnbaum and Dave Willis credited in the same section as Jon St John and Lani Minella. |
| Jan 18, 2025, 6:12 PM | TodayInNintendoHistory | Game: Pokémon Pinball | This was my first fact. Very happy to see it submitted. :). Hope to provide more where I can. |
| Jan 18, 2025, 1:29 PM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Pokémon Pinball | I even notice that even though there's no submissions for Pokemon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire at the moment, there is still a VGFacts page for it from the link. |
| Jan 18, 2025, 11:01 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Pokémon Pinball | Thanks for doing so, in terms of fixing what was up with the & symbol when linking other pages that is, of which I can from looking at here: https://www.vgfacts.com/game/marioluigidreamteam/trivia-10863/ |
| Jan 18, 2025, 6:33 AM * | Petie | Game: Pokémon Pinball | Are you seeing something specific? From what I can tell, it works fine. Take Pokémon Red Version (with the accented e manually typed out) and Pokémon Blue Version (using a normal e but matching correctly anyway), for instance. Edit: Misread your comment. Looking into the & issue now. Edit 2: Should be fixed now! Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / M&L: SS |
| Jan 18, 2025, 6:13 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Pokémon Pinball | Not sure why that is, but there seems to be an issue with linking pages of games that have the & symbol in their titles. |
| Jan 17, 2025, 8:46 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga | These seem to include Japan exclusives. |
| Jan 8, 2025, 3:54 AM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Arms | No their voice actors had already been revealed before Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was first announced. The tweet and picture sourced in this submission were posted in January 2018, two months before the game's first trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3Gt42kVgCw |
| Jan 8, 2025, 3:32 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Franchise: Mario | Could this be year Nintendo hadn't done anything in the same vein as the Year of Luigi since? And why there couldn't be another Year of Luigi in 2023? Such a shame as the remake of Super Mario RPG was once again without Luigi in it. |
| Jan 8, 2025, 3:30 AM * | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Arms | With Min Min and Spring Man, their voice actors were figured out through Ultimate since there are credits to confirm it. |
| Dec 24, 2024, 9:47 AM | Ya Block | Game: Minecraft: Java Edition | Creeper reuses the leaf texture |
| Dec 20, 2024, 8:14 PM | Salnax | Game: NES Remix | Koichi Hayashida started working for Nintendo after graduating college in 1991, so there was probably no real obstacle between him and the SNES library. |
| Dec 10, 2024, 2:47 AM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Tornado Outbreak | No he's saying the Wii version is different in that the mechanic can only be used in multiplayer there, while you can use it in both multiplayer and the single player campaign in the PS3/360 versions. I updated the submission to match how the source video's description explains this. |
| Dec 10, 2024, 1:30 AM | Endrogg | Game: Tornado Outbreak | Are you saying there's leftover data that would suggest a mechanic in the Wii port would have been made available in the PS3/Xbox360 ports? The wording here makes it seem like a mechanic that's in all three versions is exclusive to one version, which makes no sense. |
| Dec 5, 2024, 5:22 AM * | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Super Mario Maker | Pretty sure that Smash Bros. games have listed The Wind Waker to be Toon Link's game of origin (you can especially tell from the order he comes in during All Star Battles). Besides Four Swords is not even part of the timeline that has Toon Link (it's in either the Fallen Hero timeline or the same one as Majora's Mask). |
| Dec 5, 2024, 4:40 AM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Super Mario Maker | Four Swords was originally released in Japan on December 2, 2002. It predates the Japanese release of The Wind Waker by 11 days. |
| Dec 5, 2024, 3:58 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Super Mario Maker | Of course Luigi's game of origin wouldn't be the original Super Mario Bros. for obvious reasons. I doubt Mario Bros. which has sprites from the said game as Amiibo Costumes was even the only time we ever saw of Luigi before then. |
| Dec 5, 2024, 3:55 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Super Mario Maker | I do believe that Toon Link's game of origin really is The Wind Waker, especially since Smash Bros. games list it as his game of origin, and Toon Link only appears in games featured in the same timeline as that game. |
| Dec 3, 2024, 12:27 PM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Jet Force Gemini | Thanks for the information, which I find to be pretty odd considering what was done with the stuff that are Nintendo property in the other games the collection has like Blast Corps. Comment edited anywho upon realising that it was not referring to track as in music, thanks to seeing the submission's source, |
| Dec 3, 2024, 11:49 AM * | MehDeletingLater | Game: Jet Force Gemini | The original release of the game doesn't use the Greenwood Village music in the first place. The map itself is still in Rare Replay though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y4GmeM_Vf8 |
| Dec 3, 2024, 10:33 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games | I would like to think these starting gates were intended for some of the Summer Olympic events featured, only to be left out entirely since none of what did get featured actually makes use of starting gates. Although the 3DS version did have an event that makes use of starting gates which strangely enough wasn't the case with how it appeared in game, I'm talking about the Slalom Canoeing event. |
| Dec 3, 2024, 10:29 AM * | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Jet Force Gemini | Does anyone know if the Greenwood Village track was still used for the game in Rare Replay? I ask because the track is Nintendo property and games in the collection have been edited to get rid of anything that's Nintendo Property. |
| Nov 27, 2024, 3:52 PM | Ya Block | Collection: Vib-Ribbon | 虫 also means worm |
| Nov 27, 2024, 1:48 PM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: NES Remix | Did he miss out on any Super Famicom games as well per chance? If so then that could explain why there hadn't been a SNES Remix at any point in the past 10 years. |
| Nov 27, 2024, 1:29 PM * | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Dr. Luigi | And they still kept that label even after there became no point in having it following when the Year of Luigi came to a finish. |
| Nov 25, 2024, 6:23 PM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Pokémon HeartGold Version | No, it is possible to get stranded there in the Gen II games. |
| Nov 25, 2024, 8:25 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Pokémon HeartGold Version | Would this occurrence also take place in the original GBC games per chance? |
| Nov 25, 2024, 5:53 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Franchise: Super Smash Bros. | It is also used as the music for completing tasks. |
| Nov 22, 2024, 6:51 PM * | MehDeletingLater | Franchise: Mario | "Niteiru" is used as a verb for resembling something, while "ruiji" is used as a noun for a similarity/resemblance or the fact of being similar. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/似る#Japanese https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/類似#Japanese Miyamoto's next sentence in this article describes Luigi as "a hero but of the Chaplinesque type." The fact that he's categorized as a "Chaplinesque type" is an important distinction, because Chaplinesque on its own is used as an adjective for having or trying to emulate the traits of Charlie Chaplin's film characters, but this style being denoted by Chaplin's last name means that his characters' qualities are unique enough that it's inherent that not everyone naturally acts like them. Luigi's timid and occasionally heroic qualities aren't an appearance he's putting on to resemble those characters, he was designed to genuinely behave like them. So in this case "ruiji" is being used correctly to refer to the fact of being similar as Luigi's name originates from a pun meaning that he is a similar type of hero. |
| Nov 22, 2024, 7:54 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Franchise: Mario | Sorry to disagree, but similar in Japanese actually translates to something else: https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=ja&text=Similar&op=translate |
| Nov 21, 2024, 6:08 PM | Rocko & Heffer | Collection: WarioWare | I was aware of Rare, Skip, and Fuse's presence in WarioWare, but I opted to use the words "series" as I felt it was more feasible that those games were added for being parts of EAD-created franchises (Mii, Mario, and Donkey Kong), though now you bring up rights ownership that does make a roughly equal amount of sense. I dunno how Nintendo handles content with shared copyrights when a company goes bankrupt so I won't edit. (I do know that Nintendo tend not to acknowledge Western-only games, even when made by defunct studios like Tin Star was, with StarTropics as an exception, but I could imagine a billion reasons for both that and why StarTropics in particular gets special treatment) I'd love to see Mole Mania get a microgame some time, that was an anonymous work of Softnica IIRC. Perhaps one of the modern games from G&W Gallery, which was by TOSE. Drill Dozer is my favourite Ninty franchise total, and one that would work well for a WarioWare microgame, but - maybe this is just all the issues Pokemon has had in crossovers speaking - Game Freak strikes me as a way higher hurdle even without Pikachu involved. |
| Nov 21, 2024, 6:11 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Super Mario Galaxy 2 | Technically you'll only get a game over for doing so with 0 lives left. |
| Nov 18, 2024, 7:40 PM | Salnax | Game: Pokémon Snap | I'm guessing the stage was cut due to the lack of "spooky" Pokemon to choose from at the time. Other than the three Ghost types in Generation I, the only Pokemon of the era I'd describe as spooky are the Zubat and Drowzee line. Note that of these seven species, only two, Haunter and Zubat, actually appear in the final game. |
| Nov 18, 2024, 2:33 AM | Ya Block | Game: McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure | A theory done by a YouTube user "Games are Good" of why a creepy sounding track was chosen to be played here is that it was least taxing track for the cpu. |
