Know your roots (games)

Any history from Nintendo's/Sony's/Microsoft's games that NEED to be known? And you know it?
Post it here and let it be known to others.

Microsofts
Halo...
Without it most shooter wouldent have that 2 weapon system...
and it also was the first to make the genre a little more popular...
but its made by bungie...

Nintendo
Mario vs Donkey
(jump man)
without it no MARIO OR DONKEY :c
or sonic i guess...

Sony
Guess for making the most powerful console to date.
Also for Crash Bandicoot (i think thats how its spelt O.o)
it was the first combany to host that game i'm shore...

Sega
For making the Next Gen console that was from THE PAST o.O (BET UR THINKING NO WAY)
Sega's Dreamcast to me is already a next gen...
but without the graphics thats all...
look it had only, 4 ports, and had awesome exclusives.
hahaa i remember playing crazy taxi. wasent those the days
But Sega was way before there time... And ofcourse like most ingenius things, got swept under by somthing more popular...
Also some split wid sega and nintendo or somthing, i dont remember .

SSBB had 5 release dates in America.
Bomberman was a character at one time until Nintendo took him out.
Pikmin 3 has NO release date. Although it is confirmed.
Sonic sounds younger on the Dreamcast.

• Samus Aran is female.
  
• The hero's name in "The Legend of Zelda" is Link.
  
• Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the GameGear is the hardest Sonic game.
  
• Tails' name is Miles Prower.
  
• Ryu is the most used character in Street Fighter.
  
• Nobody exactly knows, how the classic Rockman series died or who killed Rockman.
  
• Dance Dance Revolution is the most successful Dancing game.
  
• "Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A" is awesome in most Konami games.
  
• Final Fantasy is... - I don't know. The RPG with the most sequels?
  
• Geno isn't in Super Smash Brothers Brawl because of Square/Square-Enix/Square-Root/Square-Circle/Square-WhatEver
  
• Bomberman is made Hudson Soft.
  
• Hudson Soft is Nintendo's first 3rd-Party company.
  
• Tekken is still equal to Street Fighter. No exceptions.
  
• Namco X Capcom is still a game, that I'm waiting for for any Nintendo console (I don't have PS-XBOX consoles). ;_;

A little obvious maybe?

'Whiplash' is the least known game.
Nintendo sold Bomberman to Microsoft.
Eggman looks VERY different in SOH 06

Is this enough proof?
Ike's Brawl uniform is just a mix of his 'Path of Radience' and 'Radient Dawn' uniforms.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon came out a couple months after SSBB. THAT'S why he speaks Japanse.

How do I know? ...I just got it... -_-

No, I knew them all along. ;D
Technically, my very first console was "Parachute". ;-)
I also played most of the Game and Watch Gallery games. My favourite is the very first, because of the nostalgic BGM from Octopus. ^^

Ah, alright. It's just hard to remember is all. XD
Heh, mine was Fire. 10,280 points before getting the 3rd miss. Broke a sweat after 5,000.
Octopus had a BGM? Could I hear it plz?

It's the G&W:Collection 4 version, but it's the same. =P



PS.: First topic with 2 pages. ;D

Oh wait, yeah, I remember that. I have the GBA version for my emulator.

1.In Prinny Can I really be a Hero Marona has Walnut's theme (R&R Junkie)

2.X5 was supposed to be the last game in the X series

3.In May 2009, the video game website IGN interviewed Yoshinori Kitase and Takeshi Arakawa. During their discussion, Arakawa mentioned that he desired to make a sequel to Final Fantasy IX more than any other game

4.Yggdra Unison will possible come to America and Europe

5.

Spoiler:

Tales of Symphonia was the 5th Tales of game released but is third in storyline wise
ToS:DotNW happens two years after ToS
Tales of Phantasia was released way before ToS but storywise is 1,000 years after ToS
Tales of Legendia is not related to the story of ToS and ToP but was made after ToS
Tales of Eternia is after ToS but before ToP, about 400 years after
Tales of VS. is like brawl with every(not sure)character from past Tales of games
Tales of the Abyss is not linked storywise to the latter but(probably) is the 7th game
Tales of Rebirth is the 6th game released
Tales of Innocence has similarities with other Tales of games
Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon is set 104 years after ToP
Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon 2 & 1 contains most of the characters from the early games

Wow you know your tales .

Yeah well, ya know I'm not done yet. There's still more after my research is done.
I wonder when Colonel will post what he knows(storywise) of sonic. Trust me, he knows a LOT of sonic history.

P.S. I wrote and did a little research for some of them. I know much of ToS/ToS:DotNW/ToP becuase I've played them, so if you want to use the sprites and don't know much about Cress/Cless or Lloyd, ask me.

DEFENATLLY LoZ,
it was the bases for ALL rpg's to come, it came out with the first BOSS FIGHTS, HEART LIFE, and ACTUALLY HARD PUZZLES.
