Attachment Super Mario Bros. 2 was technically not a unique Mario game, but rather an enhanced port of a Japanese game called "Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic", translated to English as "Dream Factory: Heart-Pounding Panic". The "Dream Factory" part of the name refers to an expensive 1987 Japanese expo organized by Fuji Television called the Communication Carnival Yume Kōjō '87 that showcased various upcoming programs. As part of an ongoing license cooperation between Nintendo and Fuji, the festival's four main mascots became the playable characters in the game, while all other characters were created by Nintendo. It was ported and released in North America with Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad replacing the mascots. This was released in place of the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 (known in the US as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels) because Nintendo of America considered it to be too difficult and too similar to the first Super Mario Bros. to compete with rapidly advancing games from rival companies.

Pokemon XD is one of the few games in the main Pokemon franchise to be a sequel, taking place directly after the events of Pokemon Colosseum. However, before it was released, Reggie Fils-Aime stated in 2005 that this game would not be a sequel to Pokemon Colosseum. Rather, it would be a brand new game. Whether this was something that was planned for Pokemon XD or a case of Reggie being mistaken is unknown.

After completing the Thunder Dragon Quest, if the player talks to Golo, the Goron outside of the Lanayru Mining Facility entrance, at least twice, Golo tells the player that he is jealous of his discovery. From this point forward, the game becomes impossible to complete and the events at Eldin Volcano and Faron Woods will no longer occur.

Nintendo has since tried to fix this glitch by releasing "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Save Data Update Channel", a free channel from the Wii Shop.

Attachment In Eggmanland, there are three robots whose names represent a console and a year that a Sonic game came out. These are EF-MD1991 (Mega Drive/Genesis and Sonic the Hedgehog), EF-DC1998 (Dreamcast and Sonic Adventure), and EF-XB2006 (Xbox and Sonic the Hedgehog 2006). To further cement this idea, MD1991 was made first while XB2006 is the youngest and is apparently clumsy, glitchy, and can't do anything right.

Attachment Nintendo released one console to a Chinese-only market. It is called the iQue and is based on the Nintendo 64, though there is no physical console as it is completely contained in the controller. A total of 14 games exist for it which are downloaded from the iQue Games Depot directly to a 64 MB flash card which is connected to the controller via a cartridge.
