Random Game Facts I have found

Random Game Facts
I found these facts lurking about the internet and I thought I would share (just as I learned in kindergarten).

Game Fact #1:
There is a chromosome in the human body called Sonic (the seventh gene).

Game Fact #2:
Square Enix’s last game would have been Final Fantasy. They were not doing well in the eighties with their other games. They decided Final Fantasy would be their last huzzah.

Game Fact #3:
In the original Fallout, when entering a desert like area, a special encounter will occur with a mysterious police box suddenly vanishing (reference to Doctor Who).

Game Fact #4:
In 2010, a game called Pier Solar was released on the Sega Genesis. It was well received, and was given a second distribution run.

Game Fact #5:
There was going to be a CD add on for the Nintendo 64, but it was only released in Japan.

Game Fact #6:
Nintendo and Phillips CD were going to make an add-on for the SNES, but it was scrapped, and the result was a Phillips CD-I console. The company had right to use some of Nintendo’s mascots, which resulted in Mario Hotel and three bad Zelda games (Zelda: Wand of Gamelon, Link: The Faces of Evil, and Zelda’s Adventure).

Game Fact #7:
Japan did not release the original Super Mario Bros. 2 to America. They thought it would be too hard. Instead, they created a different Super Mario Bros. 2 based on the gameplay of Doki Doki Panic

Game Fact #8:
Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was originally going to be a remixed version of Ocarina of Time for the suppose CD add (see number 5). However, there were some complaints, and one developer Eiji Aonuma proposed to make a new Zelda game in about a year. That game was Majora’s Mask.

Game Fact #9:
The creator of the Nintendo Gameboy was first a janitor at Nintendo headquarters.

Game Fact #10:
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 had to be made from scratch because Square Enix lost all the original data to the first game Kingdom Hearts.


That’s the end.

  1. I knew about games still being made for the Sega Dreamcast way past the point they'd stopped making the console. Didn't realize they still made Genesis games.

  2. It most likely is a third party game for the sega system
