Video game facts
Post your favorite fun facts about video games here. I'm bored.
Fun fact. You are cringy.
Well you're not wrong.
If I remember correctly, Kid Icarus Uprising was at first going to be a Star Fox game.
Yeah I think I remember that.
Fun Fact: Video Games are.
Yes. Just yes.
You know those spinning platforms in NSMBW? Well, if you were to somehow get under one, it would teleport you to the top of it.
fun fact, Danganronpa first development was meant to be darker, and was called "Distrust", which it more violence, and it was based on the trust system, but kadoka though it'll be a bad idea and changed it into Danganronpa, also Monokuma was supposed to be more scarier in his design, but it wasn't good, so it changed to monokuma design (Here is the picture) : http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/danganronpa/images/4/4d/Monokuma_beta.png
Nier: Automata's sales saved PlatniumGames, the developers, from facing troubles.
Persona 3 was not, in fact, the first game in the series, and P1 & the P2 Duology are NOT fangames.
Cosmos is the weakest legendary Pokemon due to only have splash and teleport as it's move set.

On the topic of Pokemon, Mega Rayquaza is the only pokémon with a base stat total over 720 that doesn't require a held item (Mega Stone). It is tied with Mewtwo's mega evolutions for the highest base stat total ever, 780. Since it can hold items unlike other megas and has no x4 weakness, it prompted the creation of the "Anything Goes" tier in competitive play.
In Fire Emblem: Rafiant Dawn, You cannot beat the final boss with any other character but Ike. If you do, it heals 20 hp. I know because I did it with Mia in my first playthrough. Aditionally, Haar is the best character in the game.
In the 2006 reboot of "Sonic the Hedgehog", the game's entire funding was actually blown on hookers, cocaine, and physical copies of "Sonic High School", resulting in an even better game than was originally planned.
Yosuke was a romance option in beta P4, complete with dialogue
Adachi didn't originally love Cabbages, he actually just commented that it was the only thing he could afford.
The PlayStation was originally a project between Sony and Nintendo, and was meant to be a Nintendo console. I shit you not when I say that the end result of the project was the Phillips CDi.
It's actually possible to beat the Emperor & Empress Full Moon Bosses in Persona 3 without ever seeing their gimmick.
Another dose of Pokemon facts: in the Gen 1 games, it is possible to "softlock" yourself into a practically unwinnable situation in Lorelei's Elite 4 battle. What you need to do: -Teach a poison- or fighting-type pokemon "Rage." and only have it in your party. -Get rid of your TMs, and HMs if you can. Somehow. Maybe have someone hold them idk. -Use all of your other moves' PP up, except for Rage. -Enter Lorelei's room and save. -Use Rage. Lemme explain how this works: since the AI is stupid in Gen 1, it'll spam a move with a type supereffective to the opponent. Even if it's a status move. Therefore, Dewgong will spam the "supereffective" Psychic-type Rest. This means that it can indefinitely heal off the Rage damage, and keep on spamming since the AI doesn't use up PP. Meanwhile, Rage costs 1 PP to use, and continues indefinitely at no cost until it misses. Its base power is so low that it can't KO Dewgong, even with crits. On top of that, Rage has only a 1 in 256 chance to miss, so you aren't running out of PP anytime soon. So you're stuck in an endless loop until you restart the game.
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3 was based on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX's 4th and final season, which was never localised ourside of Japan. However, the game did get a European release, but not an American one.
