| Nov 20, 2025 8:52 AM | gummyfrog | Game: Neopets Browser | As of 2025, World of Neopets is still in an unknown state and remains unreleased. However, Neopets has announced that the site will be getting a companion app soon! |
| Nov 20, 2025 5:13 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings | Technically those are gaia units from Chinese, but that happens a lot with these scenarios by having access to units they wouldn't have normally. |
| Nov 19, 2025 4:53 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Banjo-Tooie | So if Cauldron Keep was a full world, what would it have meant for the number of music notes and jinjos? Cause don't forget that the game's hub has 100 music notes and 5 jinjos to collect, and the total number of them is still the same as the first game. Then again maybe there'd also be an unused move to learn as well as 10 unused jiggies, since Kazooie alone learns one less move then Banjo alone. |
| Nov 16, 2025 7:04 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Sonic Generations | i wonder if Sonic Colours might have something to do with why Sonic Generations didn't come to the Wii. That game is Wii exclusive, and it's development might've coincided with Sonic Generations, doing separate games in fact seemed to save there from being something in vein as Sonic Unleashed. Overall if Sonic Colours never came to be, there never would've been 9 previous mainstream Sonic games, which is how many was needed to make 3 eras with 3 sets of levels in them, and Dr. Eggman would never have been able to find the Time Eater. |
| Nov 16, 2025 5:34 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Sonic Generations | Guess that makes sense, handheld Sonic games generally don't have more then 7 zones in them anyway, though I do believe the 3DS version did not take less then a year to work on. Although word has it that the handheld version of Sonic Generations was originally intended for the DS: https://www.vgfacts.com/game/sonicgenerations/trivia-8960/ So maybe the 3DS version started work after they abandoned the DS version, or there were originally supposed to have been 2 versions for handhelds before abandoning one of them. |
| Nov 15, 2025 7:16 PM | Salnax | Game: Sonic Generations | I tried looking into the development of the game as part of this trivia, but didn't find anything conclusive. In short, as late as the Nintendo Power feature in June 2011, shortly after the 3DS version was announced, the public was only shown screenshots of two Stages, the Special Stages, and a single boss. Given how the staff for Generations 3DS was very similar to that of Colors DS and how the 3DS version was only confirmed after the console version, it is likely that Dimps was given less than a year to develop the game. We should also note that this was Dimps' first 3DS project, and that 3DS dev kits were not widely available until early 2011. |
| Nov 15, 2025 12:48 PM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Sonic Generations | Was anything said about time constraints possibly being the reason for the 3DS version of Sonic Generations not representing handheld games? And as to why there's 7 levels instead of 9 like the home console version has? |
| Nov 15, 2025 12:47 PM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Sonic Generations | The Egg Emperor boss hadn't even been in any of the DS games, the 3rd era in the 3DS version is in fact supposed to be a DS era. |
| Oct 30, 2025 5:42 PM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Bomberman Generation | This has been corrected, thank you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsJwxp7hWSA#t=153s |
| Oct 30, 2025 5:22 PM | TengaiDenjin | Game: Bomberman Generation | Why it's tagged as a regional difference? the enemy's purple skin is also used in the Japanese version, I literally beat Bomberman Generation in Japanese lol. |
| Oct 30, 2025 4:59 PM | TengaiDenjin | Game: Bonk's Revenge | Oh well, regional variations for Bonk's transformations were so common, could that be why Super Genjin 2 wasn't released outside of Japan? |
| Oct 30, 2025 4:54 PM | TengaiDenjin | Game: Air Zonk | This artwork, part of the 1993 Gekkan PC Engine calendar, contains a screenshot of Bonkinator: Cyborg Punk. |
| Oct 30, 2025 4:42 PM | TengaiDenjin | Game: Air Zonk | It's so ironic to know that, although the devs censored that poop bomb in the West, the US version of Super Air Zonk didn't censor the poop bombs. Were the Rockabilly-Paradise devs just too lazy to censor it, or did they simply not think it was a problem? |
| Oct 30, 2025 4:38 PM | TengaiDenjin | Game: Air Zonk | This also applies to the Astra/Zonk fusion, where in the Japanese version the form was more feminine, while in the US version the form is less feminine and closer to Zonk's look. Also, I love this Japanese look of the Moo Moo/Zonk fusion, it's so stupidly drag-queen! |
| Oct 29, 2025 6:42 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Zoo Tycoon | Believe it or not there are some movies from over the year that featured yetis in the North Pole, for instance with Rise Of The Guardians and Minions. |
| Oct 28, 2025 7:02 AM | manubrs | Game: Daytona USA | Wow, Sega really knew how to have fun with their games! These hidden animal racers were such a cool surprise — it’s amazing how much creativity and humor they packed into those mid-90s titles. Classic Sega charm! |
| Oct 20, 2025 5:12 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Zoo Tycoon | Dragons would not've worked out since they can fly and can easily break out of base game exhibits. Pity either way that both games didn't come up with an expansion for animals that can fly to which point the exhibits would've had a roof on top that only the players can see through. |
| Oct 20, 2025 5:10 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Zoo Tycoon | So there really were intentions of an expansion for mythical beings, neat it is though how everything for the first game has one, although mermaids seem like an odd choice due to being part human and not something to treat like animals. Meanwhile it seemed pretty ideal for the 2nd game to not have any mythical beings at all, most likely based on their approach, although I do think it odd that the DS Port of the first game only has one mythical being in it. |
| Oct 19, 2025 7:57 PM | Dinoman96 | Game: Zoo Tycoon | I actually just asked Lou about this on that Subreddit and it's kinda what I figured: dinosaurs are at least real world knowledge you can relate to. https://www.reddit.com/r/ZooTycoon/comments/1o9tvlm/comment/nkd2aq1/?context=1 Q: Though with that mindset, I suppose dinosaurs were considered okay (despite this presence also being pretty fantastical when you get down to it) by the dev team because they did indeed exist in the past? A: Correct. There is real world knowledge in you can relate to, presume, and somewhat count on. It starts to get weirder, and harder to relate to, when facts are entirely made up. While obviously there would have been many players that would have enjoyed fantastic creatures...it was unclear just how large that audience would have been, considering the core of what ZT was about. I can tell you plainly the developers would have LOVED to create a Dragon, etc...but we just couldn't get enough data to justify it as a reasonable product risk and add on at the time. |
| Oct 19, 2025 6:02 PM | Salnax | Game: Zoo Tycoon | ...their first expansion pack was Dinosaur themed. |
| Oct 13, 2025 3:32 AM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Super Mario Galaxy 2 | Lubba is in the portfolio banner on his Twitter account, he did voice her. https://x.com/scottburns |
| Oct 13, 2025 3:18 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Super Mario Galaxy 2 | Never thought to mention the credits, and there had been nothing mentioning the manual when it came to linked sources, but thanks for the additional sources about this. Right now it remains uncertain on if it really was Scott Burns voicing Lubba to the point of the gender confusion, since I don't think he ever actually confirmed it, previously it was believed to be Dex Manley due to his name mentioned in the credits, but if it's true on Scott Burns based on his name being listed, then who knows how he was able to return after parting from the role of Bowser to voice a different character altogether. |
| Oct 13, 2025 3:05 AM * | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Super Mario Galaxy 2 | If only Lubba had made more appearances after Super Mario Galaxy 2, would've been confirmed to be a she before we had these additional storybook chapters. More particularly this is to do with Mario Spinoffs, none of them had Lubba be playable, though they did feature a generic yellow Luma in some of them. |
| Oct 10, 2025 12:16 PM | Salnax | Game: Western Gun | This is my 100th accepted submission. |
| Oct 10, 2025 2:36 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Western Gun | I don't suppose this game being talked about is associated with that NES Zapper game. |
| Sep 27, 2025 6:00 PM | Rocko & Heffer | Game: Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac | I imagine this had something to do with AtGames. Pears and bananas were fruit in Ms. Pac-Man |
| Sep 25, 2025 5:47 PM | Rocko & Heffer | Game: Bubsy II | I assume this was either rejected for being too similar to the Nerf Ballzooka, or just replaced with it when they got the deal. |
| Sep 23, 2025 3:04 AM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Sonic Shuffle | Not at all. This is not the most accurate retelling of it, but online multiplayer is old PC gaming tech dating back to the early 70s with text dungeon games and later MMORPGs. For game consoles, it stayed confined to add-on modems that didn't perform well until the mid 90s. The Apple Pippin was technically the first game console to have a built-in modem, but it had very limited multiplayer capability and was a flop. Sega put a better modem into the Dreamcast and invested a lot more into its online features as PC gaming was getting more popular, the competition followed suit and the rest is history. |
| Sep 20, 2025 9:20 PM | Rocko & Heffer | Game: Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind | There are so many interesting facts in this compilation - especially from Claws Encounters and 3D, but I'd rather encourage people to seek out the bundle for themselves |
| Sep 18, 2025 3:03 AM | CuriousUserX90 | Game: Sonic Shuffle | Thought online multiplayer wasn't a thing until 7th gen systems. |
| Sep 17, 2025 12:47 AM | Salnax | Game: Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings | To clarify, I'm not calling Sandy petersen a liar, at least intentionally. However, some of the things he's said regarding the development of AoE2 contradict other things said by him or others. |
| Sep 13, 2025 5:44 AM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Snowboard Kids 2 | That's not what I was saying, I meant in general that there are PAL region games that can release in either Europe or Australia and not both. |
| Sep 13, 2025 4:55 AM | KnowledgeBase | Game: Snowboard Kids 2 | Except the Snowboard Kids series is Japanese developed with all instalments (except for Snowboard Kids Plus) being made available in most parts of the world. |
| Sep 13, 2025 4:52 AM | KnowledgeBase | Game: Snowboard Kids 2 | Nope. The PAL version of Snowboard Kids 2 was Australian exclusive. |
| Sep 3, 2025 9:44 PM | 2L84U | Game: Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude! | Greendog looks like the rebellious child of Indiana Joe from the Mario cartoon |
| Aug 21, 2025 5:41 AM | Rocko & Heffer | Game: Bubsy 4D | Thank you so much for the clarification! I'm not very good at recognising time-related stuff like that. I think I've heard "millisecond" before but in my mind "less than a second" is just kinda a nanosecond and nothing else, haha. |
| Aug 20, 2025 6:47 PM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Bubsy 4D | Updated the wording, thank you |
| Aug 20, 2025 4:43 PM | IJC | Game: Bubsy 4D | "nanoseconds-long" feels misleading in this context. Coyote Time seems to be in the ballpark of 1/10th of a second. That would be 100 milliseconds, or 100000000 nanoseconds. This is of course technically a length of nanoseconds, but not what most people would associate with the phrase "nanoseconds-long", I imagine. |
| Aug 18, 2025 9:39 AM | MehDeletingLater | Game: Super Mario 64 | Sorry, it's been a while since I played this. He still gives out the same power star for the third mission if you talk to him at the end of the race, there's no new one that replaces it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S858wXaD2pk |
