Attachment In one of the conversations between Claptrap and Sam, Claptrap will ask about how Sam's voice used to sound different and Sam will reply "Criminals used to laugh at me. They said my voice was too goofy. So I got a voice coach. Now, when I say "Freeze dirtbags !" the dirtbags really freeze.."

This is a reference to actor Bill Farmer who used to provide the voice for Sam and who's also the voice of Goofy for most Disney media.

Attachment The Priest ('Shinpu' in Japan which means 'Priest') retains his name in all versions of the game, despite having it previously changed by Nintendo of America to 'The Loyal Sage' in all versions outside of Japan in the original The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, to avoid any religious references.

Along with "The Orange Box", a collection of five Valve games utilizing the Source engine, Valve was originally going to release "The Black Box", which would only contain the three previously unreleased games: Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. The Orange Box also includes Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One, each of which had already been released individually.

Production of physical copies of The Black Box was cancelled, but the collection is still available for download through Steam, using a coupon found in an ATI bundle that included an ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT and a coupon for the Black Box.

He will still follow them around the store, but he will be very slow. This does not happen in the English Animal Crossing.

The characters of Fujin and Raijin were initially designed to appear in Final Fantasy VII, however, the inclusion of the Turks made their presence unnecessary and they were shelved until Final Fantasy VIII. They were also most likely inspired by shonen-manga of the past, which ended up fitting much better into Final Fantasy VIII's cast.

Attachment The unusually named boss "Bizarro-Sephiroth" was a result of a mistranslation. The boss is actually known as "Rebirth-Sephiroth", but due to the letters "B" and "V" being interchangeable in Japanese and "th" often being translated as "S" (the same issue led to Aerith being known as Aeris), it ended up being translated as "Reverse-Sephiroth."

The translators then replaced the word "Reverse" with "Bizarro", which in the west can be used as a slang term to refer to something that is opposite or backwards. It is derived from the character Bizarro from the Superman comics, who was an imperfect clone of Superman who consciously did things the opposite way they were expected.

Majora's Mask was planned for release on the iQue Player, a Chinese version of the N64, and there are several screen captures from the game on the back of the iQue packaging. It's theorized that the game's dark undertones and imagery were deemed too violent to pass Chinese censorship laws, so the release was cancelled.
