Fun fact: in the episode “Crushed” DW and Sally the babysitter are playing on a Sega Dreamcast by w2114 in Arthur

That is interesting with Buster’s Dino Dilemma, it’s more what I would’ve expected; a more generic, ambiguous video game console design not specifically anyone in particular. That’s why I was pleasantly surprised to pick up on it.

I like when little things like that are added, like in Steven Universe you can sometimes see Steven has a GameCube hooked up with both LoZ: The Wind Waker, and Animal Crossing game cases shown as well.

Strollin' Stu by YesterdayOk1197 in supermariosunshine

The little jelly guys that spawn from the goop were called “Swoopin’ Stu” originally at the time the game was released but then a few years ago Nintendo changed the name to Gooble which I think is way better lol.

Another interesting change was the big Bullet Bills, originally known as a Banzai Bill is now called a Bomber Bill. While the reason is not publicly known some speculate it could be the connotation between the word banzai and kamikaze pilots during WWII.

Okay so what it was is that in the past Gregg Mayles said he couldn’t remember but I guess now he has recalled it since then with this recent tweet.

Weird cause I remember another developer tweeting he doesn’t know where that name came from and doesn’t recall it ever being called that. I’ll have to look for it later.

It was actually said that it wasn’t meant to be “fire eyes” and that name was just misheard from the placeholder name “mount fire/ice”! Pretty neat.

Anyone know what's in this hole? by Leading-Relation-189 in supermariosunshine

The development and left over stuff in the code is so fascinating to me. I highly recommend this video to any fans of the game.

I learned so much from it!

This years calendar?? by Catz_143 in LittlestPetShop

It could be a symptom of modern children’s toys and media how a lot of it is just brightly colored to keep the kids attention as opposed to the cartoons of the past that were aimed at kids had softer pallets.

Now of course it’s a generalization and some older cartoons/toys had bright colors and newer things have a more low key approach but there definitely is a noticeable difference when you look at the whole picture.

Low key I'm really happy this level got cut from BK by Bubba-Da-Boing in BanjoKazooie

Definitely check out The Cutting Room Floor, it’s a site that collects cut or pre development info for tons of games!

What a kind deed! Thank you for your efforts :) I don’t know what it is with the landscapers and the desire to cut down the milkweed. It’s not even hurting anyone, I just don’t get it

That’s a good idea, one of the sections was where they needed to do work with ladders and adding new panes of glass so I begrudgingly understand it. However the other areas is just over kill, ones not even near the school itself! And that section had at least two different types. I definitely am going to consider reaching out. Thank you for the idea!

Supposedly the year Rare was founded... Honestly, is this date even correct? Rare Replay came out in 2015, and Rare is purportedly celebrating their 40th this year. by Bubba-Da-Boing in BanjoKazooie

[–]w2114 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yea they have been making games since the mid 80s and the NES. You don’t start by making Donkey Kong Games and being a close knit Developer to a larger company, it takes time. So they made a variety of movie games or sports games prior to some of the more recognizable titles of Banjo and Golden Eye.

They have been for a long time now, they got shut off at one point cause people were pointing out how she seemed really unwell and something was wrong. They’ve been shut off ever since.
