Some interesting little tidbits behind one of the best N64 games to come out. I love hearing about the inspiration for some of these games, and who would have guessed that Star Fox had so much history grounded in reality. Also, I think I know the reason why I love the Star Fox series so …

You know why there were so many amazing games based on cartoon franchises in the early 90′s? They pretty much didn’t care about the franchises they were based on. They had the freedom to do whatever they wanted basically. That being said, it doesn’t surprise me that a platformer like this is awful, but I …

ScrewAttack’s Video Game Vault It’s a shame that we don’t see too many more shmups being made making. Just like how the Wii reinvigorated the sports game and rail shooter genre, I’m sure that between the game pad, Wii motion plus, Kinect, Move, tablets, etc. that we can’t see some cool stuff done with the …

About 3/4 quarters of the way, the conversation takes a kind of weird turn. Anyways, I wonder if after Duck Tales and Castle of Illusion, Disney will make an HD remake of this game? Afterall, it’s one of those nostalgic platformers that has aged visually, but still represents an era where 2D platformers …

The great thing about working on a game as a small team, is that there is lot less people to sift through to implement funny little Easter eggs. Those features that started off as fan rumors, I can tell you right now they probably started with “hey I just heard this rumor about our game. …

It’s my birthday today and I guess to honor it DYKGaming put out a part 3 of their Did You Know Gaming for Super Smash Bros. It’s pretty fascinating about how many little changes a game can go through. I wonder how different some of those stages would be if those changes were left in. …

I’ve never played this game, but I remember hearing about it all the time growing up. I’ve heard it was vulgar and I’ve heard about the great and mighty Poo. Someday, I might go and actually play the game but it just looks like something that is so disgusting I’m not sure I could ever …

Learning about some of the history of Little Memo as well as seeing some of the gameplay makes me wonder why this hasn’t inspired more games. It seems like a really surrealist game designer would have an absolute ball with this game.

It never ceases to amaze me how much history there is behind a game, especially one like Smash Bros. Like Final Smashes. Who would have ever guessed that they were something Sakurai wanted since the first game? Gives me high hopes for them to return in the next Smash Bros. games. Speaking of Sakurai, you …

Not an actual Did You Know Gaming, but an incredible fanmade simulation! It seems like Bioshock has had a pretty interesting development history. I have to disagree with their final decision though to make the Little Sisters actual little girls. I thought that was an incredibly low blow to the players who were really trying …

NeoGAF user asa has created a kind of NES Music box in Unity. It’s basically just messing around with an old TV hooked up with an NES, where you can switch out the cartridges to here the theme songs to a few iconic games such as The Legend of Zelda and Megaman II. There’s also …

Who would have thought that the first game to feature Mario’s now iconic voice would be this. I remember a video with Charles Martinet discussing what he did to land the voice and I always thought it was for promotional stuff and Super Mario 64. At the very least I thought it would be for …

Man, I really hope some of these cut features make it into the next Smash Bros. I would have really liked to have a Toon Zelda and Tetra as a playable character and the battle damage might have actually been a really cool touch. I have some high hopes for the next Smash Bros., that …

Sometimes some of the best games are the obscure ones. This is what happens when we live in an industry that basically exists on word of mouth, since it’s not like people regularly check developer sources for new information. Granted, this is a Game Gear game, but that’s the beauty of games from a bygone …

This is a great analysis of why Pokemon Stadium was the answer every Pokemon player wanted, whether they knew it or not. For years, people wanted a fully 3D Pokemon game on the consoles and while we may finally be getting that with Pokemon X/Y, it’s still a handheld. I like the answer that it …
