City of Heroes
City of Heroes (2004)

On April 15, 2019, it was discovered that a private server based on City of Heroes at the time of its shutdown had been running in secret for six years following the game's discontinuation. Three days later, the source code for this server was distributed, leading to the creation of a public server based on the code. Although this server was shut down by April 22 due to possible legal threats, multiple servers based on this code had since been set up. The most prominent of these offshoot servers was known as "Homecoming", who even went as far as to negotiate with NCsoft for the legal right to keep the server running. Years later, their efforts would pay off, as on January 4, 2024, it was announced that the team behind "Homecoming" had acquired a server license to run an official version of City of Heroes and its expansions, free to play and funded by donations.

Chameleon Twist
Chameleon Twist (1997)

The game's ending differs slightly between the Japanese and North American/European releases of the game. In the Japanese version, defeating the final boss will cut to a sweeping camera shot of the boss exploding, before giving control back to the Chameleon. As the room starts rumbling, a bridge appears that leads to a narrow hallway with a bright white doorway at the end. Going through the door envelops the screen in light, and transitions to the game's end credit sequence. In the North American/European version, this part of the ending was cut. Defeating the boss will instead cause a brief slow-motion effect to play before fading to black and going straight to the end credits sequence.

According to developer Peter Molyneux in a 2019 interview, the different speed stats for the game's vehicles are entirely for show, and they all drive at the same speed. The lack of different vehicle speeds was due to time constraints stemming from a roughly six and a half week development period, but just seeing supposedly different speed stats when selecting a vehicle seemed to fool critics and players into thinking they were different at the time. Molyneux credits this concession for allowing Bullfrog Productions to focus more time into developing Dungeon Keeper, which would not release until nearly two years after Hi-Octane came out. It's rumored that early builds of Hi-Octane did have different vehicle speeds that were slowly worked on by the development team in their downtime as a side project. Molyneux claimed that this rumor was likely true, but that due to the same time constraints, they could not have made enough progress for the vehicle changes to be implemented into the final game.

Attachment If the game detects that it is running a pirated/cracked copy, Jack Joyce will spawn wearing a pirate's eyepatch as a jab to players who pirated the game. This tactic was previously used in Alan Wake, but for the PC version of Quantum Break, it came with a glitch where the piracy detection can accidentally trigger on purchased copies of the game if the player launches it after logging out of the Windows Store. When it was reported to Remedy Entertainment on their community forum, they recommended players to log into their Microsoft account before starting the game, or to "Reboot the game and eat a lot of vitamin C."

This game, also referred to by the shorthand title "Those Games", is a parody of mobile game advertisements, specifically those that depict fake minigames that are not representative of the actual game once it is downloaded. The game's producer Maya Ito stated at its release that it was developed in just eight months, and came about about from her own desire to play those minigames "thoroughly and to my heart's content!" She described the process of balancing each minigame and trying to turn them into fully realized games as being particularly challenging, and felt that she "could've done some things a little differently" after noticing that players at launch had found many different ways to play the minigames.

At the start of Bayonetta, a funeral is held for a notorious criminal known as "Eggman the Destroyer". This, to a Western audience, seems like a very obvious reference to Sonic the Hedgehog's main antagonist Dr. Eggman, as Bayonetta was published by Sega. However, series creator Hideki Kamiya claimed that he randomly chose the name Eggman and was not aware that there existed a popular Sega character with the name, choosing to leave it as is in the hopes that fans would "get a kick out of that".

As a result of this, it marks the first time since their release that Nintendo has officially acknowledged Mario is Missing! and Mario's Time Machine, a pair of third-party Mario educational games, discounting a vague and dismissive unnamed acknowledgement in Super Smash Bros.

Collection: jubeat

The jubeat series utilizes a scoring system to determine its ranks and whether a player clears or fails a song, with notes scoring points depending on how close they are to a Perfect timing. At least 700,000 points are required to get the lowest passing grade of C. This means it is possible to obtain a full combo yet still fail a song through lack of points by intentionally hitting all notes early/late enough to still register as a Good.

Within the Underground World (a hidden area in the Dream World only accessible by sleeping in one of five replicas of Madotsuki's bed, randomly chosen each time she falls asleep) is a large corridor full of fire. Normally, this room requires Madotsuki to obtain and equip either the Snow Woman or Umbrella effect, which produces precipitation that puts the fire out and allows her to proceed into the Storage Room. However, if she enters this area as a snowman (by equipping the Hat & Scarf effect and pressing the 1 key in the Snow World) and stands next to the fire, she will slowly melt into a puddle of water; pressing the 1 key while in this state reverts her back to human form, as with the un-melted snowman.

While Madotsuki can also become a snowman in the blizzard generated by the Snow Woman effect, the weather would carry over to the corridor and extinguish the fire immediately upon entering. Consequently, Madotsuki can only access this Easter egg via the blizzard that appears by default in the Snow World.

Beyond Good & Evil 2
Beyond Good & Evil 2 (TBA)
▲

▼
In September 2020, it was announced that the game's original director and series creator Michel Ancel would be retiring from the video game industry to focus on working for a wildlife sanctuary, but it was assured that development would continue without him. Later that month, the French newspaper "Libération" reported that several members of his team at Ubisoft Montpellier had accused him of acting abusive and unorganized, resulting in numerous delays and restarts since the game's announcement in 2008. This behavior was allegedly worsened by his simultaneous work on Wild (a big-budget game announced in 2014), preventing him from working on Beyond Good & Evil 2 with its team full-time. Although reports were submitted to company leadership as early as 2017, it was alleged that Ancel's relationship with Ubisoft co-founder Yves Guillemot prevented any major corrections from occurring until June and July 2020, when employees from all over the company came forward with sexual abuse and other misconduct allegations against high-ranking executives. Ubisoft would later comment that Ancel had not been directly involved in the game's development for "some time now" before his departure.

Ancel was interviewed as part of Libération's investigation. He claimed that Guillemot informed him that Ubisoft was investigating him in early August 2020, but claimed he was unaware that numerous team members blamed him for the game's development issues, and believed they were actually caused by long-term stress and burnout. He claimed to have resigned on his own accord and that his only regret was not finishing the game sooner. The newspaper claimed that the interview took place on September 18th, the same day that Ancel and Ubisoft's statements about the departure were released. One week later when the report and interview were published, Ancel denied all of the allegations in an Instagram post, calling the articles "fake news" and accusing the newspaper of publishing them as soon as possible to conflate them with the earlier Ubisoft allegations in June and July, over a month before Ubisoft's investigation into him allegedly began.
