Interesting stuff there. I was particularly struck by the Mario/Parthunax voice actor being the same and the Deus Ex twin towers coincidences.

NAMCO owns a patent to allow mini games to be played while the main game is loading.

http://www.google.com/patents/US5718632

This has been used in various NAMCO games such as Tekken and Ridge Racer to play one of their old arcade classics while loading.

No other company can do this without infringing on this patent.

Really good stuff. That fact about Goldeneye's multiplayer being done without permission from the higher ups is just a simple example of why you shouldn't always listen to the higher ups. They don't know.

Cool facts. You have to love the history of video games. So many awesome stories.

Jen Taylor has voiced Peach from early Gamecube days, Cortana, and Joey from L4D. Crazy right.

While I tend to disagree with any kind of secrecy in group operation, the art style of Borderlands is another similar case. Only the art department knew about the experiment until they brought the demo to CEO guy, and obviously 2K had no idea as well.

So basically Mario is a mass murderer, depending on how you play. Nintendo games are dark.

Cool facts.

Did you know that in Super Mario Brothers on the NES, you can continue where you lost your last life by pressing a+start on the main screen.?

Mind blown, right? Wow.

Wow.

Not a mindblowing fact, but an aggravating one since it is so simple. For anyone who played Target Earth on Genesis, it was a sidescrolling mech suit game. It was IMPOSSIBLE. If you could get to the reactor core boss (I think that was level 4 boss), that was good already. But the game is 8 levels. No mortal could beat that game legitimately.

However, turns out a cheat code for invincible was to plug in a second controller and press start on it. That's it. Bam. God mode. Had two controllers, but never thought about mashing buttons on controller two.
