...

you could cut the grass?

 

[Onion_Relish]

The first time I cut the grass I was afraid i was going to destroy it permanently. This reveal brings back bad memories...

 

[iirate]

I know they brought it up in one of the later games (during or after Gen III, I'm pretty sure). Not sure if it was mentioned in-game before then.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

That might be the first post-worthy PKMN fact brought up in this thread.

 

[Fat Goron]

I.... could....... CUT..... the.....

..... oh.... my.....

 

[Drkirby]

Really, you guys didn't know that?

 

[Clipper]

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure it's not the first time it was mentioned in the thread... hmm, where's that tagging site...

Edit: Perhaps I'm wrong. Google isn't helping me find the first time it was mentioned. I can't think where I could have previously known that fact from unless it was this thread, though...

 

[The Awesomest]

I don't remember seeing it in this thread before. I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now.

 

[bengraven]

Wow, I hate the Pokemon games and even I knew that. Weird.

 

[Clipper]

Oh, I think I remember where I know it from. It was in one of the Mew rumours or something. I think I saw one of those that required you to cut all but one piece of grass in a certain area or something else stupid like that. Now, the big question is, was the link that got me to said rumours in this thread...

 

[catabarez]

I learned that early on in the game, maybe after the third gym of my first playthrough. I decided to experiment for one reason or another.

 

[RussellXV]

This shown up in my subscription box today. Very appropriate video title and description. From Final Fantasy 7.

It's very weird that they actually programmed this in due to being so hard to find and it having no real purpose. Another interesting thing is how it shows a very castle-like surrounding of the town whereas most of the game towns and settings incorporate industrial-punk elements.

I think I'm going to have to try that now. LOL.

Ezio=Batman

Except the whole not killing people thing...

 

[Hot Coldman]

Except the whole not killing people thing...

Ignoring this small caveat, he's not the first video game Batman-like anyway. Samus is basically female Batman in space... with a cannon.

 

[Brazil]

Except the whole not killing people thing...

Oh, that's minor.

Instead of not killing anyone, Ezio just kills everyone.

 

[..pakbeka..]

In the Layton games, or maybe just in the Last Specter, you can change the location of the Move and Trunk icons and place them anywhere on the touch screen

 

[Shiggy]

In Zelda Skyward Sword the bug makes the same sound as the plane in Wii Sports Resort, doesn't it?

 

[rekameohs]

Yeah, Ezio is just a male Samus in the past.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

In Zelda Skyward Sword the bug makes the same sound as the plane in Wii Sports Resort, doesn't it?

No, it's not the same (similar, but it's not the same)

There is a sound effect that was stolen in reverse though. WSR's Swordfight Showdown mode uses the same heart sound effects as in Twilight Princess.

I have a new one for FF7:

You never really see the projections of the Cetra in the temple of Ancients close up, but if you could:

They resemble very ancient black mages...

nyum nyum nyum

Oh shit.... I really like this one.

Got one for SNES SUPER MARIO KART:

I won't spoil it, but skip to Peach's victory...celebration at 11:30 to see why this is something American gamers would miss.

I don't get it.

 

[jaxword]

I don't get it.

Did you ever play the American version?

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

[IMG ]Ezio = Batman[/IMG]

This reminds me that I really want an open-world ZORRO game. Plus he is the original pop culture masked vigilante.

 

[Professor Beef]

Did you ever play the American version?

You should probably spoil it, since I'm not seeing anything different.

if i remember correctly, peach doesn't get shitfaced in the american version

edit: could be memory failing though, i haven't beat that game since i was a kid

You think they would show Princess Toadstool getting drunk in the 90s?

Here's the American kid-friendly version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th1v9VFmfn4

Never played this particular entry, but I assumed this was the obvious guess.

 

[Professor Beef]

Ohhhhhh, you mean at the victory podium. Why didn't you mention that? I was looking for something around the 11:20 mark like you said and found nothing.

 

[jaxword]

I did say her victory celebration, and I assumed people aren't so impatient they'd watch for more than 10 seconds...

I changed it to 11:30 just to be safe, but still, just 10 seconds? C'mon son.

[Mista Koo]

The tall grass thing is the closest we got to the cloud bush, mind blown :O

 

[NoRéN]

I needed the video comparisons to refresh my memory. Pretty cool!

I play the Pokemon games since they came out in Europe, and I never knew you could cut the grass. Would have made live so much easier for me in some situations

I knew about it since Gold, and I assure you that it is in no situation a time saver. Menu -> Pokémon with cut -> Cut -> animation. Grass adjacent to you is cut. Move one block. Repeat. Took fucking ages. It was easier to just lose if you were in that situation.

 

[Rapstah]

HK-47 is a homophone of AK-47. Both kill people.

That's not what a homophone is. Unless you pronounce H and A the same way, in which case you need to tell me what kind of accent that is.

 

[Rapstah]

Parophones then. I thought hompohones also included almost-identical pronounciations but it turns out they're not -phones at all.

 

[NeoZylom]

I don't think you can consider those parophones either haha.

 

[Jharp]

This thread is so excellent, I subscribed to it.

 

[Tambini]

Hmm I thought the cutting grass thing was common knowledge.

Bloody useless as it took so long to do on the gameboy games but still.

 

[John Rabbit]

cetra looking like old black mages is real fuckin' neato. good work.

Yeah, and it fits the mythlogy of FF really well, too, given that Aerith's ancestors were supposed to be long lost natural magic users.

Silent Hill contains references to Kindergarten Cop?!

Saw this linked randomly on Twitter today. Last one is a bit of a stretch, but... wtf

from here.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

That is pretty damning... literally.

Ah wow.

 

[Dunan]

That Kindergarten Cop stuff is absolutely amazing. "Who is your daddy," indeed.

Did a fan discover that? Or did a developer or art director reveal it? I could see the Silent Hill side not wanting to admit to borrowing assets like that.

So the creators of the game were like... "We'll pay homages to several classic masterpieces like The Shining, Carrie, The Silence of the Lambs, The Mist, and Kindergarten Cop??
