post interesting videogame facts.

Did you know gaming?
You can actually unlock Luigi in SM64 by running around the fountain in the backyard 4016 times. Then, punch the wall behind it and Luigi will appear !
same applies to the ps2 logo. Blew my fucking mind when I found out that if you rotate a 3D version of it it reads "P" and "S". I also found out that PS2 is actually not the name of the console, it's called Playstation Two. Those clever japanese guys found a abbreviation for the name and everyone uses it. Genius.
Did you guys know that the M on marios cap actually stands for miscarriage?
Did you know that the L on Luigi's hat actually stands for Hitler? Miyamoto was an avid Third Reich supporter in his time.
did you know that DK in donkey kong actually stands for drift king?
He was going to replace Takumi in the hit series 'initial D' for this very reason.
>>324015001
this was actually a reason why Nintendo didn't want DK in Mario Kart since a guy with the name Drift King would surely be overpowered in a racing game. In order to nerf him they put crates with bananas on the track to distract him because he is in fact a nigger and as everyone knows they love bananas. The game featured bananas ever since even up to the newest installment Mario Kart 8.

Could this perhaps be hinting towards peaches tragic past? Is bowser involved?
Fact: The official HL2 web site still refers to the episodes as a trilogy.
Did you know that many Pokemon names are a portmanteau of other words?
Bulbasaur = Lightbulb + Dinosaur
Squirtle = Squirrel + Turtle
Charmander= Charizard + Salamander
Did you know that you're not funny? That's an interesting fact.
In Devil May Cry you are actually not playing Dante. The developers just called him that because it would make him look less like a faggot. His original name was Tim.

Did you know that there is a hidden wrench in the Ratchet and Clank logo? If you stand a couple meters away and sqint your eyes you might just be able to make it out
I'm going to blow your mind
Did you know that Samus use to be a man? This accounts for her above average height and muscular physique.
In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 the No Russian mission was originally called No Rushing because the player was not supposed to rush to the end of the mission because there were barely any enemies. However due to reverse psychology most play testers took this as a challenge and started speedrunning the objective over and over until they've routed the perfect path to perform international terrorism within the most efficient amount of time. They renamed it to "No Russian" because the people at Infinity Ward hate Russia.

Did you know that Pokemon was a blatant rip off of Digimon? They just took the mon and put Poke in front of it which was a blatant rip off of the "Pokke Village" in Monster Hunter. The only original thing they did was remove one "k" from "Pokke".
>>324014065
The capitalized "M" on Mario's hat stands for "Mega".

Did the n64 have a start up like the ps1, ps2, gamecube etc? I've never played one.
>>324017142
interesting fact: the n64 never existed. It was just a bunch of Nintentoddlers convincing themselves that they had fun.
>>324016171
That's bullshit.
Even by the standards of this thread.
>>324016768
>>324016606
You fucking idiots learn to read. It clearly says "hardest game you've played".

Fact: Bears eat Beats
Super Mario is about the independence of Bangladesh.
The red in the flag of Bangladesh symbolizes the blood of those who died for the independence of Bangladesh (extra man in Donkey Kong). The green stands for Lushness (Luigi).
Mario and Luigi stands for the strong independence fighters, and Donkey Kong is the islamist monkey pakis.
