i think EGM started that yoshi pokemon thing

"If you can beat Metroid in under half an hour she's naked at the end"

Pikablu

>hear a "that kid" story
>jaded self doesn't believe it
>eventually look it up on Youtube because I'm still a sucker at heart
>looks legit
>try it out
>it's real

>>315138
But Pikablu was f'real!

You can get the Triforce in OOT if you manage to unfreeze Zora's Domain. There is a hidden cave at the bottom with the Triforce in it.

>>315207
There was an unused hidden cave, but no triforce...

>>315098
>Yoshi
>Pokemon

Shit, son.

>>315220
It's actually believed the cave is a leftover for an unused Heart Piece, now.

Sonic and Tails in Melee will be forever burned in my memory

>mfw all those hours spent on Cruel Melee to get 20

If you find the secret exit in the final ghost house and enter through the back door of Bowser's castle, you fight him outside of the Koopa Clown Car. Also, Yoshi can be brought to this area.

I knew it was foolish, but I wanted to believe it.

>Sonic in Smash Bros. Melee

If you beat Mario Kart 64 100 times you get to play as sonic and his kart goes so fast it's impossible for another kart to pass him.

Mew was in the area where the S.S. anne originally was. Have your pokemon team faint after getting cut and reenter the area after getting surf.

LeatherFace lurking the backwoods in GTA:San Andreas. Also Bigfoot and aliens.

Akuma in street fighter.

In Re:3 you could find Claire and use her as a playable character if you get "Captured" by Nemesis.

>>315478
A friend and I sat and waited in that abandoned shack in the backwoods in GTA:SA and we were so anxious and kind of scared in anticipation of leatherface.

A friend told me you have to beat Ganon 60 more times in OoT to get the gold tunic.

What's frustrating is he would tell lies mixed in with truths so you could never really tell when he was telling the truth, it was like the boy who cried wolf.

You guys know about Pop Fiction?

Some of the rumors they tackle are super obvious and dumb, but it's still an interesting watch.

>>315478

just watched a yt guide of getting mew on pokemon red/blue

back when i was a kid i always called people out as lying when they said there is mew in the game

tbh they probably didn't even know there was either, as they had claimed to have caught it but could never prove it

thanks for this

>>315916
Bullshit.

>mfw it actually is possible to play as General Leo without messing with the game code

Never forget the legendary White Chocobo from FF7. It could go underwater in addition to everywhere the Gold Chocobo could go, making it the only way to go underneath the swamp where the Midgar Zolom lived and find the super secret Omega Weapon optional boss fight.

Also collecting all twelve 1/35 Soldier toys and doing various things with them (depending on who you asked) in order to revive Aerith.

>>315959
Well of course it is. You just don't get to play with him for very long.

>>315992
http://lparchive.org/Breaking-Final-Fantasy-VI/Update%2013/

Via creative use of glitches you can trick Leo back into your party for awhile in the WoB, without using any code software.

>>316036
Oh, that's pretty cool.

>>315098
There was this trick in the Mario 64's castle yard (where that OP picture is taken from) that could, supposedly, bring you to the top of the castle without any star whatsoever. You had to triple jump + wall jump on the hills at the east of the castle or something like this.

It was on a Nintendo Action magazine here in Spain or something like this, back when the game came out.

Is it real? Anyone also heard it? Anyone?

ya i've seen a streamer do this trick before

it's pretty hard mind you

In OOT, if you beat the horse race fast enough, you get a flying pegasus horse

>>316068
>>316064

I think that what is harder for me to believe that they were actually NOT messing with me.

Wow!

>>315671
>Only vehicle in the game
>Big ass ship right next to it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

>>316434
>L is real 2041.

Leftover from other game I can't remember

>>315938

Here, I don't need it

>>316504
There's another L is real 2401 in OoT.
Since SM64 and OoT used the same graphical engine

>>316034
They did put a fairly rare item under the truck, tho, so that might've been a reference to the rumours.

In Final Fantasy 7 Aerith can be revived

>>318031
I remember there was rumor that I actually tested. If you go to a particular cave there's a gentlemen who tells you what Cloud's kill count is. The rumor was that if you can get that number to be a palindrome then revisit the area where Aerith died, she could be revived.

Discuss these.

>>318086
>Chris Houlihan

That one is real though.

>>318065
I tested one too, that involved mastering a revive materia on the buster sword in addition to what you mentioned. Mr. Fish would be gone from the coral stairway leading down to where Aeris/th died and you could get her back.
Mr. Fish wasn't gone.

Lol, Guile's handcuffs anyone? Oh wait...
http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Handcuff_Glitch?file=Street_Figher_2_Handcuff_Glitch

On Donkey Kong Land 3 I was always stuck on that robot boss, it wasn't until playing the Snes version did I realize that blades came out of it to climb up. Anyway, I turned it on one day and could do a time trial of later levels I've not played yet. How did this happen because it seems like something you can only get by beating the game.

Reviving Aeris and geting Cloud in FFVIII/IX were mine.

Holy shit was I surprised when I actually got Cloud in FFT.

I remember getting melee before all my friends and talking about all the stuff in it. When you think about it, nothing is realyl believable to someone who only played the first and a few minutes of Melee.

>if you beat master hand fast enough, his brother CRAZY hand comes. He's a left hand and does weirder attacks!
>if you beat bowser fast enough, he comes back as GIGa bowser and is bigger and scarier!
>you can unlock mewtwo and play as him!

Finishing M. Bison in SF2 on very hard where he falls in the middle of the screen so the giant bell falls on him.

>>318086
I go to the Goldeneye hidden island. You have to use a Gameshark or other hex code editor to do it.

Beat the running man in Ocarina and get the Triforce/Light Medallion/Other bullshit and of course the most feasible, the Pegasus Boots.

>>318157

I think they designed some of Melee's unlockables with those sort of rumors in mind, I mean the Luigi one is really specific and who the hell would have thought Dr. Mario would have been playable?

Does anyone else feel a little bad now that this type of thing doesn't exist anymore? Kids today get the game and that's it. No wonder or mystery or even an adventure. Just a "cinematic experience."

That's not to say games today suck, I'm just thinking out loud here.

>>318182
Nowadays with the internet and developer hype trains, you can learn about a game before it even comes out. Remember the excitement on /v/ when sonic was on the Dojo website?

Imagine if you didn't know he was in the game and he challenged you.

>>318207
>>318187

The internet changed everything. As soon as (and in a lot of cases, before) something is released, there it is, right in front of you. Every single detail. In my opinion this has made Pokemon way less fun, the entire pokedex gets leaked before the release of the god damn game

>>318227
With the new general, we won't know the shiny colors of movelists of all the pokemon for a while, since it will be on the 3DS. Which, as far as I know, isn't broken into yet.

some japanese gamer will probably power play the game and reveal the dex online if Game Freak already doesn't, but still.

>>318234
with the new game*

Where is the bow upgrade?

>>316051
I tried countless times, but never succeded.

Looking back I'm glad I couldn't make it, it's better to get there by the legit way after collecting the stars, much more satisfying.

>>318227
>>318234
>>318239
Well, nobody forces you to see the PKDex online.

>If you press B when using a pokeball, it'll increase your chance of catching it!

I knew it probably wasn't true, but I couldn't bring myself to risk not doing it anyways.

YOU CAN PLAY AS GORO ON MORTAL KOMBAT 1. I SAW MY COUSIN DO IT!

you actually can play as the bosses in MK1, but dem glitches http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSzb0C1wAJk

also, dat Noob Goro

>>318379
I know that it doesn't work but I still do it cause it just feels right

>>316504
THANKS GUY THAT HELPS OUT A LOT.

>>318434
There's actually a way to play as goro in the gameboy version without any glitches. Maybe the only thing that version had going for it.

>>318086
I thought the Aeris thing was real in the Japanese version but had to be removed.

Was it all a hoax from the start?

EGM Lara Croft nude code and Golden Eye play as original white jacket 007 code.

>>318489
It was always a hoax. The English version of FF7 had stuff added to it, not removed. That's why an "International" version released in Japan later.

>>318086
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXp124VgFrw

>>318031

Welp, she can't be revived but...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydxvhuS_H8Q

My dream is Nintendo re-releasing Pokemon Red and Blue with all the Pokegods and shit like that.

It would be glorious.

>>318627

wait what?

FF6 (known to us as FF3 back then) had a lot of these. These are just the most widely-believed ones--there were much wilder and more clearly absurd ones as well.

Shadow's part of the ending changed if you saw all of his dreams.
You could revive General Leo and get him as a permanent party member.
You could uncurse the Cursed Ring as well as the Cursed Shield.
You could make Shadow throw the Atma Weapon (normally not usable with Throw) at the last boss and it would kill him in one hit.

>>318651
Swapping the FF7 disc with a SaGa Frontier disc while on the world map will produce a glitched map that lets you walk through places you normally can't. I think there are a few other PS1 discs that work as well. You can use this to sequence break in various ways, including skipping the Temple of the Ancients and thus Aerith's death.

You need the Chocobo because getting into a fight with the disc swapped will crash the game.

>>318362
What's happening is kids these days WANT to check online for every bit of info they can on a game before they even get their hands on it. I see my 14 year-old nephew do this all the time, watching youtube videos for weeks before buying the game. Then he plows through it in a weekend and wonders why he gets bored with his games.

>>318654
>Shadow's part of the ending changed if you saw all of his dreams.
>You could uncurse the Cursed Ring as well as the Cursed Shield.

Both true. Well, not the ring part but the shield can:
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Hero%27s_Shield

>>318627

Neat

>>318727
The shield can be uncursed but not the ring.

Shadow's dreams do not change the ending. The only thing that affects the ending is whether or not you get him in the World of Ruin--the same as any character (other than Celes, Edgar and Setzer, whom you are forced to get)

I remember the street fighter perfect everyone thing for akuma. Perfect everyone in street fighter II. IN THE ARCADE CABINET VERSION OF THE GAME

You can use Dr. Robotnik in Sonic 1, get the seven chaos emeralds, one is hidden in a debuggers room but you need the game genie to access the final special stage, once you do that, go to the last true stage and let Robotnik kill you as Sonic and then when you die, the first stage will start and you will be playing as Dr. Robotnik and face sonic on the final stages.

>>315116
I think you're right, I think Nintendo did Luigi in Pokemon.

Pokemon rumors, jokes, etc were just too common.

My favorite gag was always Akuma in RE2

>Mortal Kombat 1 SNES
>blood code
also
>getting double flawless victory and fatality with no blocking on Warrior Shrine will unlock Jade
>mfw trying that shit

>>318086
OP here, lost that picture in my hard drive crash. Glad to see it still made it's rounds. I missed making those threads...

>>321574
Didn't the blood code thing unlock with game genie in mortal kombat? I think they left the blood thing blocked on purpose.

>>318127
Fuck I rememebr that. It's like every kid heard of it and no one witnessed it. So you get everyone saying that Guile actually whipped out some handcuffs and slapped them on the player.

For me it was Super Mario 3. Friend of a friend who said that if you play all 3 magic flutes at world 8, you'd go to world 9. What a waste of an afternoon that was.

>>321728
I mean instead of removing it, they left it inside the game coding.

>>318086
I bet Chris Houllian doesn't even play fucking video games anymore.

>>321754
>For me it was Super Mario 3. Friend of a friend who said that if you play all 3 magic flutes at world 8, you'd go to world 9. What a waste of an afternoon that was.

But World 9 is the Warp Zone world, anyway.

I remember the first time I heard about Missingno. My little brother was getting his picture taken at Sears in the mall, and my mom brought us both.
I had to wait out in the lobby while the pictures were taken. I saw a kid sitting across from me playing Pokemon, and Pokemon was my favorite game, so I talked to him.
He said he was going to find Missingo, and I'd never heard of this before. He went through the whole process while I watched and eventually encountered it. It seemed pretty amazing to me. He also knew that trying to catch Missingo might fuck up his saved file.
It was just a random encounter with a stranger, but it's stuck with me. I must have been like eight or nine.

>>321778

Yes I do.

>>316324
Yes, thats exactly what happened. They released some G/S pokemon in magazines and websites before it came out, and the nickname for Marill was Pikablu. Nothing more than that amongst my friends

>>322447
That's pretty neat, I remember my first time hearing it from my friend at his house, he showed me how to encounter missingno and how to get infinite items. Oh god all that rare candy and master balls broke the game

>>318086
I can't figure out what's with the BK pic on the bottom left.

In Lufia 2 if you fight enough of the floating ghost armor enemies they will eventually drop a cursed armor.

If you uncurse it, and equip to Dekar, when the dungeon falls on him and he leaves your party, if he is wearing the armor he will meet back up with you in the next town.

Then I proceed to show my young friends my game in the treasure island with Dekar in my party and blow their minds.

Poor bastards.

>>321728
I don't think there was blood on SNES at all, no. There was a game genie code that turned the "sweat" red though.

>>316078
A blue one?

There was this spazzy skinny little ginger kid I went to grade school with. He was a real jerk and a tattletale and a crybaby.
Anyway, once he told me a so-called "secret" for Ocarina of Time. You play the game through until you're one hit away from beating Ganon (how you would know how many hits he takes exactly, I don't know), then reset the console. You start a new file, talk to sariah like a hundred times in a row or something, and she'll give you all the items in the game.
WHY WOULD YOU EVEN NEED THIS IF YOU WERE ALREADY JUST ABOUT TO BEAT THE GAME?

>>322635
You know, all this time, I cursed "that kid", but being such a douche, for getting my hopes up about the silliest shit, for telling me things like 10,000 matches in SSBM would unlock another character.

But now I see, he only did it because he realized he didn't have much time on this world.

>>322770
>There will never be crazy vidya rumors ever again

Are we just too cynical now?

>>315393
Nostalgia'd so fucking hard. I can remember me and so many friends attempting their "method" to get S & T in melee. Holy fuck how many hours we wasted.

>>322404
Not for SMB3, or for that matter any NES version.

>>318379
I always heard the rumor as if you pressed UP + B at the right time, right before the ball closes it gives you a 100% catch chance. The catch was nobody that knew the rumor knew what frame it was exactly that you had to press UP+B so nobody could ever 100% confirm or deny this rumor.

>tfw you still to this day press UP+B when throwing a pokeball

>>323181

God I hated this shit. One time I was playing it with a friend, and he told me I was bad at catching pokemon because I didn't do that. I ran into a wild hoot-hoot and used an ultra ball, looked at him and said "Oh yeah? Guess I'm good enough".

Then fucking hoot-hoot broke out and he gave me the most smug look.

>>323031
The Warp Zone was always considered World 9, even on the NES version (it even says so on the status bar at the bottom of the screen). In fact, if you use cheat codes to trigger the king rescue sequence during World 8, you actually proceed to the Warp Zone/World 9.

>>315119
Friends told me years ago that in Super Smash Bros if I beat Ness in less tan 1 min I get the naked skin of him.

>>316694
>L is real 2401
Wasn't 2/4/01 the release of Paper Mario?

People at my school swore if you went to Top Secret and flew high enough, you could get a purple Chargin' Chuck helmet that would give you permanent powers of the cape and the super star at once.

That kid isn't entirely dead. At the middle school I work at a sixth grader told me he unlocked Waluigi in SM64DS.
There's still hope ;_;

Seriously, how did kids even do this shit? Did they just decide "yeah, I'm going to lie to everyone about secrets in a game"? That seems pretty strange.

>>323609
I dunno. But it seems to be a wolrdwide phenomenon, because I've read about it happening in Japan too.

Maybe they imagined or dreamed the shit they thought up and then kinda started believing it themselves. I know I've dreamed about weird occurences in Sonic 3D and then thought, "does that actually happen?"

>>315419
>Giga Bowser as playable character

Not quite the same, but my friend had an action replay for his Gameboy Advance and he told me he could unlock Mario and Luigi in Wario Land 4, and he said when he applied the cheats it would last for three days, so I asked him if he could do it to my game and the fucker ended up stealing it

>>318086
Woah what is the Banjo-Kazooie one?

>>323784
what is even with mario 64 fans and john scatman?
one guy who used to do a million glitch videos of the game with his shitty mario recolor had john scatman music on basically all of the videos

>>324508
From an early trailer. That door is seen at the end of Grunty's Lair in the final game.

>>318086
but the houlihan room is real

>>315393

I was checking to see if it was here, and
sure as fuck

Dude I tried so hard but those things were brootul

>>318086
What is the one on the upper left hand corner?

>>326350
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas supposedly had a bigfoot running around the wooded areas but he was hard as fuck to find

I can verify the ghost cars

Sometimes a car would appear in a desolate wooded area near the mountain with no driver just rolling down a hill

>>326493
thanks for reply.
>Sometimes a car would appear in a desolate wooded area near the mountain with no driver just rolling down a hill
That's pretty strange, kind of creepy honestly.

Hey, am I the only one who gets kind of creeped out reading about this stuff? I am not sure why it makes me uncomfortable.
Maybe it's because the programmers are doing shit normal people don't understand (like how the game is made) and they inject random things in there that you can't easily find. It's like they are taking advantage of people in way.

>>322469

When I was over my aunts house quite a few years back now she had bought scarface on her ps2 and handed me the controller

she said HEY anon GO OVER TO THAT ISLAND OVER THERE THERES SOMETHING COOL ON IT

so i went to swim in the water and a giant fucking shark popped out and omnommed me and then she went APRIL FOOLS fucking goddamnit

I know its not retro but fuck it, i cannot into water sections in games anymore

pic fucken related


>>326493
i loved how they added a bigfoot in red dead redemption

I was a huge Street Fighter 2 fan and loved playing it back in 1992.

I was fascinated with the strategy, combos, exploits, etc and built myself up to be one of the best players at the local pizza arcade

A friend of mine got this EGM back in those days and it said you could unlock Sheng Long (supposedly Ryu's master trainer) if you got to Bison without being touched then going 10 rounds without Bison touching you ending in Sheng Long coming out and throwing him out

the funniest part is I forgot to take into consideration that it was the april issue and actually set out on a mini-quest to do this

also mortal kombat was shrouded in rumors and mystery ever since it was found that you really could fight reptile in the first game

One MK2 rumor said you could go into the trees and fight the keibler elves (?)

>>323609
People just use it as a way to get attention and one up their peers. Most of these people grow up to be faggots.

Buttonmashing all buttons as fast as possible when doing a special move in MvsC, thinking it would do more damage.

>>327152
But it does

>>327168
Never confirmed

>>327183
2/10
It's readily visible just by looking at the health bars. This isn't exactly hard to confirm, lol.

>opening the gate to the giant thwomp in mario kart 64

>>327323
I still wonder why he's imprisoned when my friends and I play it

>>327183
It has been confirmed. In fact in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 2, they brought that aspect back for some reason.

>>318727
Reading that makes me want to play the game again.

>>318727
Kids never had any rumors for games like final fantasy. We were only 10 or so at that age and the game was too difficult and boring to play regularly.

>>328689
Damn it, Simba. I know your father just died, but fuck.

I remember reading in a Sega mag in the early 90's that if you drifted and spelt the word 'Daytona' out of tire-tracks in the 32x version of Virtua Racer then you'd get an exclusive playable demo of Daytona USA. I can't believe me and a friend attempted it, but we were young.

>>323390
Do you really think they planned the release date for a game five years in advance?

Keep in mind, Paper Mario hadn't even BEGUN development at that point.

Unlocking SSJ3 Gotenks by beating the arcade mode 9 times straight , all in perfect.
This was probably the last rumor of this kind I heard first hand from a friend, even though it was already post-internet era. I kinda wanted to believe him too, because I believe I saw it on GameFAQs (probably removed by now), fortunately, beating the game 9 times straight was too much of a chore so I never tried it.

>>330413
Doesn't help it doesn't saved your unlocked chracters for arcade mode either.

Oh boy, I had one of these kids in the neighborhood, he would make up bullshit all the time and be super annoying, nobody really liked him. I was fucking surprised when his rumor to get the hadouken in MMX turned out to be true. I didn't have access to the internet or any magazine where the code was posted before, so all I had was this kid's word, and who the fuck would believe that method anyways? Get to the end of the stage 5 times straight with full life? To me, it sounded as bogus and illogical as Mew under the truck or any other rumor of the time.

>>330434
There's a cheat code to unlock them all instantly, but the game itself isn't worth to play.

>>330475
>To me, it sounded as bogus and illogical as Mew under the truck or any other rumor of the time.
That's why the fake rumors worked. There were weird things that were true, so just maybe that kid's dad DID work at Nintendo.

>>330475

well actually you only had to get to the end of the level once, kill all those birds, and then restart the level iirc

>>331159
You have to collect the item five times, actually.

At least I think that's how it works...

The only interesting thing (besides the real yoshi being on the castle) that I can remember is if you hang off of the edge of the castle where it touches the hill, you will die!
Try it and see.

Let's not forget jumping over the flagpole.

"If you beat Super Smash Bros. with any character on Very Hard and with only one life, no continues used and no Special Stages failed, you can fight Dark Link and unlock him. You can also unlock Metal Mario and Giant Donkey Kong in the same way."

"Princess Peach is hidden somewhere in the Training Room in Luigi's Mansion. Keep knocking against the wall to the right and you'll eventually enter a secret room."

>>328675

That shit seems straight from dArt

>>338968
That shit is pre-dArt.

>>328816
That actually is legit, at least. Someone made a mod out of it.

Like the porn artist whose obsessed with shiny shiny pictures?

>>322603
My little cousin and his friends honestly thought that you could get an AK-47 in Red Dead Redemption. They spent like an hour trying to convince me it was real.

GoldenEye female nude cheat unlocked by 100% completion on every difficulty and doing some crazy specific start from point A, left-right-left-left-etc. route on the Temple multiplayer level in under 50 seconds to reach a button on a wall that's only there if you reach it in time.

The game barely avoided an M rating so they hid it in a cheat the rating people knew nothing about (as it was rationalized to me). I believed it because I was desperate for pornographic anything. I did it because I had to. Fuck you, kid whose name I don't remember.

I had a friend who became really acrimonious to me when I tried to tell him Sonic wasn't in Smash Bros. Melee, because the friend who had told him (some random guy I never met who went to another school, or something) was apparently extremely reputable. I tried to explain how obvious of an April Fools joke it was, how his friend was probably just mistaken, not lying, and I believe I even told him the magazine revealed the prank in the next issue. His reply was that the magazine was wrong, and his friend was right, because his friend wouldn't lie.

That guy was weird. He had a Gamecube but only like 1 or 2 other games besides Melee, but when I would ask him why he never wanted any other games he would become silent and pretend I wasn't there. In fact, he would sometimes do this to me for entire days with no warning (no fight the previous day or anything) but still speak to other people.

Going to private school in the south was pretty strange, sometimes.

Washing machine banjo never worked for me

Kinda different, but I would have been that kid if my best friend wasn't there at the time.

Booted up MK2 on the SNES, fidgeting with the controller and this happens:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VkNAxa8lWw

Spent SO long trying to reproduce it and had it down as some crazy elaborate sequence of buttons.

We damn near shat our young selves.

>>334169
that ones real too

>>323878
Seriously, key input cheatcodes that were revealed in magazines during following months were the shit. I just can't stand how much I miss them while playing my new games, or easily checking them instantly on internet.

>>339201

It makes you look a lot more appealing if you know things that are, quite literally, impossible to know otherwise.

>>330413
>>330413
This one has been on my mind for years. I've tried to do it a few times but I fell short by losing a match in the 7th or 8th attempt.

It sounds ridiculous and a lot of the character rumors are definitely fake, but I can't accept it as either true or false until I've finally done the task myself.

It said Eternal Star but the textures was so shitty you couldn't make it out. Eternal Star was the name of the star statue.

They put a Magma Cookie under the truck.

Posters were apparently released for the newest Pokemon movie. After 15 years we still have possibly true rumours about Mewthree....

If you find all the golden skull spiders and beat ganon without collecting any extra hearts you unlock sheik mode in OOT

These silly rumours are why I loved .hack// so much. All those rumours and glitches are canonical plot points. I spent hours wandering dungeons hoping I'd find Aura or wishing The World was a real game.

If you use a gameshark to keep her in your party after she dies (I think you can also glitch it so that you enter the place where she dies backwards and you keep her in your party), then you find she actually has character-specific dialogue after she's supposed to have died.

There's also some area later on with her theme playing.

The theory is that she was always meant to die, but when square were rushing the game, they changed where and when she dies, and didn't do a great job of cleaning it up

What part are you referring to?

>>318654
As far as I know, there is a way to glitch it so that Leo comes back. He takes Celes' place or something, but its a glitch, not an actual thing

>>339201

That is really weird.

>>339201
Maybe he had actual autism.

When I think about a couple of the weird kids I grew up with I can see how they could (should?) be diagnosed. One guy I knew ended up grinding on the strangest games.

I STILL do B+Down. It always feels like I've shut the lid on the pokeball and there's no way that fucker can open it now.

Yeah, B+Down was the one I always used.

I have not seen someone type it like that and now I love you

I don't get it, what's the joke

>>331210
Yeah, that ledge has to appear on your screen four times, and on the last time you need full health. it's really dumb.

One of my faggot friends insisted that he had Sonic and Tails in Melee and kept asking me to go over to his house to show me. I call his bluff and say I want to go over there and see and he suddenly can't have me over.

For fucking 4 years, he can't have me over at his house.

4 birthday parties I wasn't invited to because this motherfucking faggot can't admit he lied about a video game.

>>341919

maybe he just didn't like you

>>341921
That would have been simple enough. Also simple enough would have been to tell me a bogus story about how all his saves got deleted.

There's a lot of answers you come up with when you're an adult you didn't think of when you were a kid.

>The Warp Zone was always considered World 9

The Warp Zone IS World 9, Niggorino.
It even says in the very same fucking screen you are in.

It isn't PLAYABLE but World 9 existed all along.

>>342723
Did you read the post you were replying to?

Like, at all?

I remember talking to someone who kept telling me Sonic and Tails were in Melee. I said I had the official guide, and also that something like that would have to be licensed by Sega, and there wasn't any logo on the box or in the credits. He said he had a special copy that was. I went over and he made some excuse that it broke or that his brother took it, I can't remember.

Same guy told me that the Revolution was going to be completely VR like the Virtual Boy. I, years later, found some faked ad that seemed to be the thing he found.

I also did the thing with B+Up with Pokemon, I could swear I actually read it in a printed guide, but it never worked, and everyone seemed to have a different combination of buttons. I figured I was timing it wrong for a while, and it took me even longer to find out it was an outright lie.

Also, my brother went to the truck in Red by trading over a Pokemon with cut early on to prove Mew wasn't under it, or try to get Mew, I'm not sure.

>>318572
White jacket bond was real?

>>315119
underpants to a kid it would seem like she was naked though.

>>315416
dude there was a secret back door to the koopa fight in super mario world just the rest is bogus.

>>345876
Huh do tell more

>>322834
>>Are we just too cynical now?

Well, as adults we're just discerning enough to know insane kid lies when we hear them.

Then there's the internet, where you can gamefaqs to find every oddity about a game in 10seconds.

The dream isn't dead, though - kids will ALWAYS be wonderfully gullible, and they will absolutely continue to lie to one another :)

when I was a kid, there's no way in hell NOT finding PokeGod codes on gamefaqs would have convinced me that they didn't exist.

Look at how many grown people believe in ghosts :D

the last ghost house allowed you to skip the maze part of the koopa castle and go straight to the last part where you go through a short dungeon run to fight koopas. see attached photo

Oh, I've gotten it before. I thought it was implied in my post, but I guess not. What I'm saying is that I was disappointed when I discovered that the back door lead to the end of Bowser's castle rather than to an entirely different boss fight with him.

>If you go into the overworld a beat 89 enemies in a row without going into a door AND kill a specific enemy as the 90th you can play as dark link!

My friend told me this about a year ago; I thought he was playing and made a sarcastic reply about seeing the secret picture of Marin naked, and then he told me to look it up. Holy shit man, it was exactly the kind of stuff you would hear in the schoolyard and it actually works.

>>348965
>and it actually works.

>>349018
I don't totally understand your reply, but if you're doubting me here's a nice source:
http://zeldawiki.org/Glitches_in_Link%27s_Awakening#Obtaining_Colored_Tunics_Without_Visiting_the_Color_Dungeon_.28Including_Extra_.22Damage_Sprite_Tunic.22.29

It's typically referred to as the damage sprite tunic since is just link with his colors permanently inverted (which happens when you take damage). It also gives you the power of the red tunic. I typically don't play with it since it makes me feel like the bad guy on the island, something which is easy to do in a game such as LA.

>>349098
The way you where going on about it you made it sound like it was a legit cheat instead of a visual glitch.

I guess that is the sort of bullshit you'd hear in a schoolyard.

>>349098
This is one of the other things I love about /vr/. You played, beat these games years ago, might play them again for nostalgia, but nothing more.

You come to /vr/ and you find shit like this and you want to replay the fuck out of those games again using all these glitches that have surfaced.

>>315119
...but....that ones not a joke, if you beat the game in under 30 she's in a bikini, it's real....

>>349145
Yeah, the reason I assumed he was initially kidding was that he used the words "dark link," also the method for getting it doesn't seem like it would be something that causes a glitch, it seems more like a cheat.

>>349154
I tried replaying it with the tunic (though I didn't go for it until I reached the color dungeon, so I wouldn't be overpowered). As I said, I felt kinda bad. [ACTUAL SPOILERS] Everyone was counting on you to get rid of the monsters, but the monsters were actually sent out in response to you, like antibodies to a virus, by the bosses; they were only trying to protect the island and the people on it from you. Before you came along everything was just fine, but as soon as you got there the bosses reacted and gave the Wind Fish nightmares, which caused the owl to lead you to wake up the Wind Fish. This series of events is depressingly magnified when you don the damage sprite and Link genuinely looks like a virus out to destroy the island.

>>349237
I like the theory that Link's conscience is trying to wake him after being knocked out by the storm, but his mind also knows from his past turmoil that he cannot simply accomplish anything without a long winding adventure.

Either way, the fucking game was deep for me as a kid and I've loved it since. There's just so much right about the game that it still holds against the wear of time.

>Go do all the shit it says

And that's when I learned that the internet lies sometimes.

>>346370
Wait, you're just talking about the secret fortress that leads to the back door of the castle, right?

How is that news to anyone? Can't get a star next to your game file without it.

In Super Mario World, if you beat the 5th Star World level with a hidden key exit, you'll go to a special area that will drastically change the entire game.

>>326561
No. The ghost cars have been explained. It's just the way San Andreas car spawning system works. There's no roads so it doesn't know where to place the car. There's no person because I guess it doesn't know what model it should assign either depending on your location.

Aka, it's a glitch.

>>326593
Not retro, but jak and daxter also had giant tentacles that would grab you and drag you down to a watery death.

Shit was scary as fuck.

>>346230
>:)
>:D
Please get the fuck out.
You're on an imageboard, keyword IMAGE.

>>352152
It also has something to do with deliberately spawning vehicles for the players in isolated places so that it's less tedious to get back on the road.

>>352194
Ohh, that makes sense actually.

>>350483

Shit, man... On my first internet travel, back in 90's I looked for pokemon stuff too...

>>352375
I looked for RPG Maker shit. And a patch translating Grandia 2 into my mothers tongue.

>>352375
mfw nearly half of all websites in the 90's were very shabby screamers

>>352175
No it didn't, it had a fish that'd swallow you whole.

>>352152
for me and my friends everything weird that happen in san andreas were a glitch, and since we do all kind of strange stuff we just guessed that the game glitched, we never look it or searched but the most awesome thing that happened to ous was a plane crash that kill you out of nowhere.

>>326667
>One MK2 rumor said you could go into the trees and fight the keibler elves

The one I heard was that the screaming trees would eat you with a stage fatality. But yes, many rumors for that stage and Reptile (such as his hidden 3rd fatality) and how you could play as mask-less Scorpion.

I remember a kid telling me that you could play as Luke in Shadows of the Empire, and ultimate lightsaber duel Vader and Xizor in the end.

My jimmies were really rustled.

It's like we are segregate twins, anon.

Mine was a 13th birthday, but it's all the same.

The car spawned out there so the player could get around the woods faster, they intentionally put that in for that reason.

There were loads of rumours around where I lived that said you could make OoT characters like Saria, Malon, Zelda, etc. take off their clothes if you completed side quests for them

In SM64DS?

There was a time when this looked pretty legit, to me. Waluigi was a failed attempt at reviving the Luigi speculation.

One of my favorite creepypastas. I can still barely remember what the rumor that was spread around was about. Thinking about it, it was probably some store that sells Master Balls and Rare Candies.
