Did You Know Gaming?

Post by Nintendork666 »

Anyone else a fan of http://www.didyouknowgaming.com at all?

I follow them on Facebook, and have been so genuinely impressed with the random game fact service they provide, that I think it'd be a travesty if I didn't mention this to the racketboy community at large. They rarely mention anything too obvious (at least not to me), and update frequently. This is a great way, easy, and fun way to increase your smarts when it comes to gaming.

Also, it'd be neat if anyone wants to post some random trivia in this thread that they know but most others might not. Unless we already have a thread for that, which I'm not aware of.

Here are a good few of my favorite things I've learned so far, at least one of them should be something new to you:

Honestly, I thought this was fairly common knowledge and one of the reasons the GCN version was more pricey and sought after. Truthfully, it's the only reason I own the GCN version rather than the cheaper Wii version. It's still unsettling that Skyward Sword Link is right handed also.

A bunch of these were also posted in the image thread. Good stuff, even if some of them are well-known. I was reading over Nintendo Power magazines today and thought of making a bunch and submitting them.

Well, it's not exactly the same, but it's damn close. They made a couple of minute changes (the GTA edges are more rounded, for example), but the Price is Right logo was definitely the starting block.

Sorry to bump this, but - hot damn.

Anyone know for a fact if this was actually intentional?

That'd be so rad. It seems almost too sneaky/clever to be true.
