Franchise: SaGa
▲

▼
Attachment The SaGa series started out as a Final Fantasy spinoff in North America, as the first three SaGa games were released there as Final Fantasy Legend 1-3 despite not having any connection to the common themes in the series. The initial plan was to release them as The Great Warrior Saga, but the name was presumably changed due to marketing purposes. The series continued with the SaGa name in all the subsequent games.

Before going to the 10th dimension, Dr. Cortex says "Come now, as we explore a new dimension! It should have been two new dimensions but we... ran out of time." This is a reference to the development period of 12 months, as the development team originally wanted to put another world into the game. However, due to time constraints, the world was scrapped.

When Mumbo turns you into a creature he says "Oominaka." Grant Kirkhope, Mumbo's voice actor, revealed that at the time of recording the voices for the game his left testicle was swollen. "Knackers" is British slang for testicles, so he thought it would be funny if Mumbo said "Ooh, my Knackers." Thus, every time that Mumbo uses his magic to turn you into a creature, he's actually complaining that his testicles are in pain.

Attachment According to developer Gregg Mayles, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts was actually the third attempt at creating 'Banjo-Threeie', the third installment in the main line of the franchise. The first attempt was supposedly Banjo X, an unfinished build for the original Xbox which featured some new assets and items. The second attempt, was a re-make of Banjo-Kazooie with some twists, and would have possibly featured Gruntilda following the duo around different worlds and trying to outdo them.

D (1995)

Because the storyline and graphic FMVs were more horrifying than any video game that had yet been released, head developer Kenji Eno resorted to a trick in order to get D published.

The game was originally developed with no storyline, and Eno kept the story sequences a secret even from the other members of WARP. When the game was finished, he submitted a 'clean' version (i.e. without the violent and disturbing story content of the complete version) for approval.

He deliberately submitted the master disc late, knowing that part of the penalty was that he would have to deliver it by hand to the manufacturers in the USA. While on the plane, he switched the phony 'clean' discs with the finalized discs, thus completely bypassing all censorship.

Attachment Sonic was going to have a human girlfriend named Madonna. This was to copy Mario's girlfriend at the time, Pauline. She was removed by the product manager, Madeline Schroeder. She wanted to remove Madonna as to "soften" Sonic for children and foreign countries, as she thought the concept was too "Japanese". The concept of a human girlfriend was later used for Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)'s Princess Elise.

There is a mission in which you must purify a coffin that contains "Shademan." During the fight, Django will work with Mega Man to defeat Shademan.

Shademan's final words are:
"Once more... I...! ...Don't think... ...that I will disappear... ... in THIS world...! And again... back... ...to the... ...the Cyberworld...!

Unfortunately, due to poor sales, the side mission in Mega Man Battle Network 6 that goes along with this side story was removed completely, but was available in the Japanese version "Rockman.EXE 6."

Dante used the name Tony Redgrave as an alias in his early days of demon slaying. When asked about the name, director Hideki Kamiya stated that "Antonio Redgrave was a journalist that Dante respected, so he used it as his fake name during his days as a mercenary..." In Bayonetta, Luka's father, Antonio Redgrave, was a world famous journalist that documented supernatural events, people, and places. It's very likely that the two Tonys may be the same person.
