Stupid Game Rumors You Heard

[Megaroad 2012]

Dead or Alive Xtreme nude cheat. Beat the game in 14 minutes for some xbox tiddies.

My uncle worked for Nintendo back in the 80s. He gave me this prototype Game Boy Advance that could play SNES games.

Growing up near Redmond, WA, this was common but sometimes true. Got a lot of free original gameboy games from some kid whose dad apparently worked at Nintendo.

If you hold down and B when catching a Pokemon it'll increases your chance of catching the Pokemon, or whatever button combination you want.

I still subconsciously hold B and right when attacking thinking it'll do more damage.

My group of friends and I would mash that A button like it owed us money, and I don't care what you think it worked dammit.

I was always under the belief that it was down and B when throwing the Pokeball to get a better chance of catching, myself.

Regarding DoA2: Hardcore, the game actually DID have a "nude cheat", but only of Kasumi, you needed to use a hacking tool that could alter your save file, like Action Replay. It allowed you to swap one of Kasumi's costumes with an in-game model of nude Kasumi, however it was a "barbie" model, meaning no nipples and no pussy or asshole.

My uncle works for Nintendo and says if you collect all 120 stars plus the 3 secret stars in Mario 64, you unlock Luigi as a playable character.

Blood in SNES Mortal Kombat. There was a magazine that ran an April Fool's saying it could be activated if you stuck a 50p coin to the cart, the reason being there was a chip inside which enabled it, and the extra weight of the coin would push it down and cause it to activate. In the pre internet era, that fooled a lot of readers.

Ones I remember because I was a tard that didn't know how to use the internet to find out what was bullshit was getting and using Majora's mask in Majora's Mask, unlocking and playing as Mario in Luigi's Mansion, and unlocking Sonic in Smash Bros Melee via a bunch of stupid hard tasks or what not.

 

[Sun Shihong]

Sonic and Tails in No Items, Fox Only, Final Destination are unlockables.

 

[frozenrunner]

In Mario 64, if you collected the right stars in the right order and input the right button code, Mario would be fucking Princess Peach and eating the cake at the end of the game.

 

[Antipathy]

I heard Cyberpunk 2077 might be good

The most persistent rumor I heard after Vice City came out was that the next GTA would be called "Sin City" and would have a Vegas type setting and would be set in the 70s since Vice City was the "80s Miami" game, tho this actually came partially true since San Andreas had the Las Venturas island, minus the 70s period.

Oh yeah, I remember that one, I wonder if that one was actually something Rockstar was considering, since there really was a Vegas type city, before they decided to get more ambitious.

I thought that they actually put stars over the girl's nipples in the DOA games in case someone did something like that.

 

[Pope Negro Joe the XIIIth]

that he made his own fighting game that had all the characters from Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Tekken.

So wait, you went to school with someone who's brother programmed for Elecbyte?

I remember that rumor as well alongside rumors of GTA in Tokyo during the 1990's and a GTA prequel set in Liberty City during the 1950's where you played as a young Salvatore Leone

We do know that Rockstar did consider Tokyo as the next GTA setting after Vice City

Matter of fact, Vice City was meant as more of a glorified expansion pack to GTA III to incorporate a lot of the new gameplay elements that weren't able to be implemented into GTA III before the final release date and that explains why it came out only a year after III and had a nine-month development cycle

unlock Luigi

L is Real 2401

(the model data for Luigi seems to be in the game)

(the hat and shirt are RGB green there)

Only after DoA2 Hardcore, in case they put any nude models into the game code. Back in the day when the method of using Action Replay or Gameshark to switch the in-game model was discovered Tecmo was furious and they sued the hackers over it.

Yes, I've heard they considered Tokyo as a setting, which considering that was one of the locales in Midnight Club 2 gives you some idea of what that might have looked like.

To be fair though the Sega version really did have a blood code.

But jamming coins into things does seem kind of silly

Makes me think of Mortal Kombat: Nitro Edition, an apparent SSF2 Turbo style upgrade that really reads more like "original character donut steel" nonsense from Deviantart.

I remember one for MGS2 where if you completed a list of silly tasks, youd unlock a "super silencer" for all subsequent playthroughs that could be used to make any and all guns silent. Considering how bad I was at stealth games when I was young enough to believe that, it would have been helpful.

I remember another one about FF7 where you could resurrect and fight sapphire weapon as a super secret boss, or an onyx weapon hiding beneath the Midgar Zolom's swamp.

CVG did an April fools gag for the first Tomb Raider by saying there was a horribly complex cheat code to (you guessed it) get Lara naked. You had to plug in a second controller, the second player would tap out the rhythm to Wannabe by the Spice Girls (which would eventually start actually playing) and the first player would make Lara dance to it. If done correctly, Lara would eventually say "Let me get out of these sweaty things" and strip, therefore freeing us horny 15 year old boys to masturbate to her gloriously naked triangular tits. Considering how obviously fake it was, it's a bit depressing how many letters they got whining that it wasn't working and pleading for more detailed instructions.

That should be presented as proof in every courtcase that teenage boys are too retarded for the "informed consent" needed to grow boobs themselves.

One rumor I heard although I'm not totally sure where, but it was probably also /v/ was that Metal Gear Solid V would be called "Birth of a Patriot" or something like that and would be another prequel following The Boss all the way from WW2 through the 1950s (when she became the first human in space, supposedly that scene would be set to "Major Tom" by David Bowie) and up to the events of MGS3.

I tried to float a fake leak online during E3 2004(?) where they showed the MGS4 trailer. The "leak" was that there was a twist to Snake's mustache: he didn't really have one, his facial hair, and they really showed off the hairs in that 'stache, grew at an accelerated rate between play sessions so he would eventually get a beard. And you could shave him. Clean shaven, mustache, mutton chops, full beard, yet another useless and expensive Kojima feature. If you didn't shave him at all for long enough you would one day load up your save and find that...
