I want to meet the kid who actually had an Uncle at Nintendo and nobody believed him.
Now we need a Helicopter mod in Ocarina of Time to fulfill Alex's childhood dream
And the master cycle needs to gain the ability to transform into a helicopter in BOTW2

@@rhettmitchell All this seemed more far-fetched before we saw the floating islands in the new trailer...
The playground rumor I remember most is the one I made up to trick my friend- You can unlock Superman in Smash Bros 64!! Wow!! All you have to do is jump off the tower in Saffron City 100 times, then he’ll fly in and save your character on the 101st.
Obviously this was incredibly dumb and only worked because I had a very gullible friend, but I still feel bad about it to this day. Noah, if you’re out there, I’m sorry.
Hopefully Noah can forgive you. - Zion
I had a friend who told me similar Smash 64 lies, but he went way further than just that. He claimed there were entire secret character select and level select screens that you could only get with a GameShark, and on them were such characters as Mewtwo, Goku, Shadow Link, Bowser, James Bond, and Sonic, with stages for each of them. He explained it as “you know when you unlock the Mario Bros Stage and it just kind of appears? Yeah that’s how this is.”
I don’t THINK I believed him… but also I didn’t understand how a GameShark worked or own one so I may have given him the benefit of the doubt.
Calm down there Satan

I don't know how you guys made this video without addressing the following
1. Nude Lara Croft
2. L is Real
3. Obtain triforce in OoT
4. Ermac (error macro) from Mortal Kombat
5. World -1 in smb
6. Unlock alternate versions of James bond's in Golden Eye
7. Sheng Long in street fighter
Feels like the classics were missed here!
A dearly departed grade-school friend once called me on my parents' house phone and insisted that in the final boss fight of Star Fox 64, if you took no damage, it triggered dialogue where Andross told Fox, "If you see your dad, tell him I said howdy yowdy!" I remember that total nonsense every time I think of him.
My dad’s weird son told me that Sony bought Wario and he was going to be added to Playstation All Stars (the Vita version) and I cried. I didn’t want Sony to own Wario :((
So, like... your brother?
I wouldve cried too
The funny thing is that the real Mew glitch activates in a way that involves a bunch of goofy steps.
Funny thing is is via glitch.
Aww, you featured my rumor, i‘m honored! Little fun fact: i never completed mario galaxy, so i technically never proved my buddy wrong. I think the only true thing he ever told me was that if you‘ve played mario galaxy, you unlock rosalina in mario kart wii
My friends told me that, in pokemon diamond, you cant leave your hometown before going to the toilet and peeing. I spent two days looking for the toilet. it was my first ever pokemon game lol
Lmao
😂😂
Link may have never got a helicopter but at least he got himself a motorcycle
Fun fact:after the sonic in melee rumor was wrong a video game megazine company cold game pro hold a contest that if you actully get 20 kill's in cruel melee they were send you a copy of sonic adventure 2 battle
Herobrine was a huge one from the OG minecraft days, from my childhood.
Do y’all remember mashing the controller thinking it would increase the catch rate of a Pokémon
Wait...this wasn't true?!
I still do this out of pure muscle memory.
@@luffa96 same 😂
As someone who has an uncle that works for Bethesda (yeah, not Nintendo believe it or not), I’ll just say that even if you actually DID have an uncle who worked for Nintendo, there’s a very high chance that he wouldn’t be able to tell you jack shit about things that have been unannounced.
One of the biggest rumours from my childhood was Waluigi in Mario 64 DS
omg yes I forgot about this one, in the other door
I heard back around 2001-02 that Il Piantissimo from Mario Sunshine was actually Waluigi in disguise and he was secretly working for Giga Bowser from Melee. I still believe this is true!
Isn’t that the mail guy in Zelda majoras mask??
When I was a little kid, an older kid on the bus told me that if I went to Mewtwo's cave in Pokemon Y and did a loop around the inside of the cave 100 times, Mew would appear and you could catch it. I believed him and wasted hours trying to get Mew to appear. Now I just laugh thinking about it.
To Jon’s friend in prison right now...hold ya head and keep telling those game rumors!
I remember reading a Super Mario Galaxy guide that said you can unlock Luigi if you get all the stars, and it will say "Super Luigi Galaxy", and I had a friend who said he actually did it and that it's true, but if you get all the stars again you get Super Peach Galaxy, and then Super Toad Galaxy, then Super Bowser Galaxy, etc...
Lol, believe it or not I didn’t even know luigi was in Mario galaxy until
all stars, I didn’t believe it at first Tbh
I thought Maggie was playable in Simpsons Hit and Run
Jon arguing with his alts on GameFAQs really made me laugh 😅
Alex’s story about Ness reminds me of when during Diamond and Pearl some of my friends showed me Arceus and I didn’t believe them. Mostly because they showed me a fake Arceus card and I was like “that’s a fake Pokémon card, you can’t trick me I KNOW Arceus isn’t real!”
Lol
You were a Pokéthiest
I wasnt born in the 90s so i was never able to experience stuff like that but I still remember there where lots of mysteries to games.
Like waluigi in SM64 DS, Hell valley sky trees in galaxy, Going to the moon in Ruby and Sapphire all those are such cool mysteries
My brother told me you could tame the caterpillars on maple tree way in mariokart wii if you stayed with them the whole race. He won a lot on that track.
well time to tame the wigglers again!
I remember hearing on the playground that in Pokémon X and Y if you stood next to a specific window in the Big city you could discard a polka ball and it would catch a volcanix
You mean Volcanion.
In the badlands outside Lumios City?
Polka ball?
@@versal5108 no just in a specific window in lumos city
Listen it’s been almost 6 years since I last played Pokémon x and y. I can’t remember everything
When playing Pokémon Gold and Silver there were so many new and never before seen Pokémon. A friend had gotten his hands on Celebi and nicknamed it ‘Chickenfoot’. He showed it to me and said it was super rare but catchable. I didn’t use the internet much back then so for the longest time I thought that it’s name really was Chickenfoot, and set out on a quest to try and find it. Needless to say, I was unsuccessful in finding it both in game and online 😅
Is there a podcast version of your talks? I would love to hear you while going for a walk with the dog:)
Agreed!
I know this comment is from ten months ago but I've recently been listening to their RUclips videos with my phone screen dimmed while I'm doing an overnight at work or while walking home with my dog(30 minute walk). I just wear headphones and keep the phone in my pocket. Not ideal but it works.
First, I just wanna say I love these more casual discussions, you 3 have a great rapport together.
Second, one of the less remembered playground rumors I recall, still makes me a bit bitter to this day....
Had a friend of a friend who introduced me to Mega Man Soccer, and claimed that both Wily (who is in the game) AND Zero were unlockable (he's not in the game). He claimed you can see part of Zeros sprite hidden away on the character select screen, which was partially true because there's something there (but it was most likely Wily). He also claimed Zeros special move / power shot was he'd kick the ball up, his head gen would grow real big, and he'd do a massive header into the goal that was 100% effective and un-blockable. I played through that game SO many times trying to find a way to unlock him, even bought a game genie to see if something would come up, but the most I got was unlocking Wily in his mech suit which just wasn't as cool.
Looking back, it didn't make sense to have Zero in an original series game, but at the same time... We got hadokens in MMX so it was still believable..
If you jump on birdo's egg 52 times then input the Konami code and scream "blue kitty kat" with the superscope in the second controller port you can unlock plok in Super Mario all-stars
Of all the names I was expecting to be mentioned in this comment section, Plok wasn't one of them.
Good game, though. Great soundtrack.
Last year, when Animal Crossing New Horizons was at its peak, there was a rumor about the mystery island tour. Apparently, you could increase your chance of getting a rare island by clapping in front of Orville to make him blush before talking to him. This was proven to be false by dataminers. But I swear, it worked regardless! I almost never got a rare island before, and I got so many of them by using the trick. I still did it after knowing it shouldn't work, and it did. I can't believe something like this happened so recently. And I know I'm not the only person with this exact experience.
It's quite intereting that the Mew rumour spread all around the world, it was also said in France back in the day
In Spain too
I think it was a worldwide thing.
You actually can get past the barrier wall in Wind Waker! Nearly impossible to glitch but people do it on RUclips. Not much to see though
It’s a shame they didn’t talk about Mewthree
I think it's cool that the Panel de Pon cheat code is in the 3DS Virtual Console release of Pokémon Puzzle Challenge :)
Who remembers when we thought we can unlock wario in super smash bros melee
I don't remember that one. I remember the Toad, Sonic and Tails ones though.
I don't I never had Melee.
@@WideMouth do u guys remember that fake picture of melee that shows a lot more characters like Krystal from star fox, shy guy or a gerudo from the Zelda series
The 6th playable Kong in DK 64. I was told various ways to get it, but all were fake. The only other playable character is Krusha in multiplayer.
Keep in mind this was when SMB first came out and I was 7. To make it worse, after many many many many hours of trying to knock down a flagpole (and failing) resulting in deep hyperactive little boy crying and tantrums. My own mother tells me that she was able to knock the 7-3 flagpole down while I was at school, which obviously led to many tantrums, tears, and a spanking from grandfather after little 7 year old me said a very naughty "S" word after failing to knock down 7-3 flagpole for the billionth time . . . Thanks mom lol
Aeris WAS meant to come back some devs said in an interview ages ago. But they ran out of dev time for the game hence why the 3rd disc is so short
My friend told me a rumor on the playground that if you try to trade away the Mewtwo you caught in Firered or Leafgreen, it takes it as betrayal, releases itself, and returns to Cerulean Cave!
The same friend told me, during Gen 3, he'd heard that Pokemon Pearl would be a game where you pick a trainer class and get its powers. Motorbike as a roughneck, swim without surf as a swimmer, be a juggler and get cash thrown at you for performing on stage, etc. To change trainer classes, you had to defeat the Elite 4 again. The whole core mechanic was about Elite 4 runs, as to actually win the game, you had to beat them 100 times! (And yes, you'd still have to do the whole gym challenge to get to the Elite 4 the first time)
One of my favorite that turned out to be true was in Mat Hoffman's pro BMX for the PS1. If you start a level, crash then restart the level 10 times then the game tells you "You ride like a granny!" and you unlock the old lady on an old school bicycle.
I think if I made games now I would put something like that in one of my games. Something like those do something 47 times in a row and it actually did something.
Back when home computers were still expensive, my friend told me there was a way to hack Pokemon gen 1 to make misty topless. He then proceeded to describe a hacked version of the game that had some GTA elements. Young me was enthralled and extremely set on seeing misty topless in game
Plot twist: the 2 dislikes on this video (at time of posting) are from John's pathological liar friend, done under 2 accounts because he learned that from John himself.
My boy pikablu in the thumbnail
The "nude code" for Tomb Raider. *spoiler* It didn't work. Lol. She only blows up. Thought for a long time after hearing about it at school in my childhood. I thought I was doing it wrong. I blew up poor Lara so many times. Lol
Most likely Aerith probably has dialogue boxes in order to prevent the game from soft locking in case Aerith is in the party after she dies either due to hacking or through glitches that they didn't catch(FF7 is incredibly buggy like most FF games preceding it).
You guys have been doing an awesome job with these discussions lately. Well done.
Does anybody remember all the rumors about Waluigi in Mario 64 DS? There was something about a black box you needed to hit, and shoot yourself into the painting of Peach with the cannon outside the castle, then the door beside Warios door unlocked with an upside down L on it. It was crazy lol.
Rumors are still fun for kids, my little brother came home with a bunch of fake Pokémon cards that he traded for one of his cards,
That ending oml
I remember my friends said that he got a special version of Smash Bros for 3DS from a random guy in Cananda that had Dry Bowser and "Kaboom Mario". He also said that Dr Mario had a hat too. I didn't believe him for a second.
The only rumour i can remember is from Super Mario Galaxy 2.
In Super Mario Galaxy 2 you can get 49 Comet Coins in total. The last one from the Grandmaster Galaxy's normal star. The number was always weird to me. But one of my friends showed me a save file with 50 comet coins and told me he got the 50th from the one hit comet in grandmaster galaxy. BUT it can only spawn random. So I gave it a few trys until I gave up because for me it was extremly hard finishing this level once. Afterwards, I think he maybe got a save file from the Internet and loaded it on his Wii because he also couldn't do the Galaxy on his own... But I don't know the truth. :D
The Halo rumor was bad, but I had a similar thing happen when a friend told me you could get Brock and Misty to follow you like Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow... by standing in front of both of them for 4 hours. No I didn't try, I couldn't be bothered, I think I waited 4 minutes before I got bored.
Another friend also told, when I had trouble getting past Sudowoodo in Silver (because my English wasn't perfect yet) that they could send me the ability I needed via PC.
I remember my friend saying that when you beat New Super Mario Bros Wii, you unlock bowsers castle in Wii Sports Resort.
Is Super Mario Bros. For the nes. In level 1-2 I was convinced that there was a mega mushroom that would make you giant. But it came out of the ceiling bricks and I would always miss it when it slid away. I now know it was a 1 up mushroom.
But it’s funny, because I played minimal Mario games outside of the nes at my Grandma’s house, but I still thought it was a mega mushroom.
I even remember it being bigger than the normal size.
My younger cousin and I used to play Spiderman: Friend or Foe on the Wii way back then, and we were both totally convinced that you could unlock Carnage as a secret character after 100%ing the game because Nick Fury mentions "Project Carnage" during the ending cutscene. We learned the hard way that this wasn't true lmao
My two favorite video game rumors as a kid were both from SMB (NES). First was, if you shoot the ball on the top of any flagpole with 5 fireballs, the flagpole will fall down.
The second was if you can complete the minus world in under 5 minutes you can play the whole game as the princess.
When I was a kid I used to cheat with my gameshark and Pokémon all the time and in a chat room online their was someone who said there were several Pokémon that didn’t make the cut and you could access them with specific gameshark codes. I specifically remember retyping the code for a psychic bird named Psybird over and over again because I thought the idea was so cool.
not a rumour anything but similar story. i was OBSESSED with kingdom hearts when i was a kid and i would take about it with one of my best friends at the time whenever we were in school. i couldn’t figure out how to open the door to merlin’s house (you needed to cast the fire spell to open the door) and was stumped for at least a week. i was complaining to my friend and he was the one who told me how to progress in the game. i vividly remember thinking how dumb i felt that i couldn’t figure it out, but it’s so surreal now because there wasn’t the internet or anything to easily access that information at the time. :’)
I'd read somewhere that link could get an m16 if you attacked the tree in kakariko village a certain number of times and then bombed it, the tree would disappear and a chest would appear, giving link and m16
Not a playground rumor but when I was a kid I had a dream that I found a secret temple in Ocarina of Time and after I woke up I spent the next day trying to find the Dungeon that I dreamed up.
I grew up with the internet, but not knowing how to make sense of information it was just as chaotic and rumory.
I think hacking Aerith back into FF7 is just putting her assets into the third character slot, which if often left open for you to put any character in there. When the third/extra party member is in that slot, they don't actually have any effect on the story (only required party members do, which takes the second and first slot) and will have text boxes with the same or similar text no matter which party member is there. Hacked Aerith will do the generic text boxes, but the blank text boxes ya'll talked about is likely due to her not having dialogue for character-specific flavor text. Like Cid's personality is very brash, so he'd more likely to have a bit of unique way to say the same thing as another character. "Let's go over there!" vs Cid saying maybe "Get your !&@^ up there!".
Since Sephiroth has party member data in the flashback, you can hack him into the third party member slot too. He was definitely not planned to be playable outside of that flashback, but you can hack him just like Aerith. Same idea there. It's not some conspiracy. The idea of killing off Aerith for good did come later into development, but I doubt the game was in a near finished state and they like cut content of Aerith to facilitate that idea. Like, it'd likely been mid-development rather than near-complete or alpha build or whatever.
I agree that modern technology has more or less killed the schoolyard rumor factory with data mining and such, but worse is that in modern times the rumors kids spread (that I read of in Twitter, reddit, etc) are so ridiculous and out there that even little boy me would have thought that's total bs and im not going to waste time trying to do it.
An example is, I read in a reddit thread that in BOTW if you can defeat both versions of Ganon in under 5 minutes using only a tree branch, you will unlock a new game plus where you play as Zelda wearing a swimsuit.
The whole “Bigfoot” fiasco from GTA San Andreas. I remember for months seeing forum posts from the official PlayStation website of people finding Bigfoot in the forests between two of the cities in the game. Spent hours and hours in that forest and never found it! Interestingly, rockstar eventually put Bigfoot in the game for both RDR’s Undead Nightmare DLC & GTAV, so they must have been aware of the rumours back then!
I remember the Zelda rumors and it was awesome. My friend and I (we lived next door to one another and shared a game file) rushed home so many times and tried to find that secret gold skulluta or "extra dungeon" or "meet Mario on such and such island".
Guys, my dad works at Nintendo and he says that BOTW 2 is coming out in 2014 because it’s about time travel. Trust me.

The connection with Tom Bombadil is interesting. Both, as you said, are mysterious figures that seem to have some supernatural abilities. Both also have a connection to music, although for Happy Mask Salesman it's more of a stretch. Both also are unaffected by negative or corrupting power. The main difference is Tom is a benevolent or at least a neutral entity, while I always got a more sinister vibe from the Happy Mask Salesman.
And to top it off, modern fantasy (including Zelda) can trace its origin to Tolkien, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were some Lord of the Rings fan on the Majora's Mask dev team.
I swear, at one point during Gen 2's run, i remember reading a rumor about Lapras evolving into Lugia.
These are things that kids will never understand in the era of the internet. These are legitimate RUMORS. Stories passing by word of mouth, on playgrounds, in cafes, at the park, etc etc.
In the internet era, there's just a constant deluge of BS. Yes, BS. That's what I regard rumors online as. It's thousands or tens of thousands of people just throwing random crap at the wall to see what sticks.
In my area, the Mew rumor is one I absolutely heard in school. But the version I heard was a little different. It said that after your playtime was more than 100 hours, the ship came back, and had a bunch of stronger trainers in it. But also, you needed to surf from the dock, over to that area with the truck to get the Mew. As a kid, I tried it, I got an AC adapter for my Game Boy and plugged it in and left it on, planning to just leave it on for the 100 hours. My Game Boy overheated and turned off. lol
Fun fact, that truck is there still in the remakes, Fire Red and Leaf Green, and you can skip the ship by trading a Pokemon over that knows Cut, which lets you progress the game without doing the ship part. You then get surf, go do the ship, go to the truck and when you do, you get a cookie.
I am absolutely serious, you get an item called a Lava Cookie. It's just the same as a Full Heal.
I remember people saying how to unlock Ridley or master hand and crazy hand in smash bros brawl.
You had to do all sorts of absurd stuff like lose against tabbuu and delete your save and go back and do it again
You know, he says that rumors like Mew under the truck can be easily debunked today, but I still like to believe that SOMEWHERE within the game's code/data, it IS possible or at least that that truck serves a purpose.
I found out my friend at work did the Aeris one XD
We got to talking about it FFVII when we talking about FFXV when that was coming out, and I asked if he was looking forward to XV or VII Remake more, and he said XV, and I asked why and you could he gave off a clear expression of resentment/disappointment, and he said,
Him: "well... you know the rumor where if you get Aeris to level 99 before she would normally die that she'll survive?"
Him: "It's not true."
Me: "YOU DID THAT?!?"
Him: *Nods with the saddest expression I've ever seen*
So, apparently that endeavor still weighs on him 20 years later.
Talking about it now, I almost hope she lives in Remake so he can finally get what he tried so hard to achieve.
She has to die tho...
This has become one of my favorite channels to watch on RUclips. I love listening to you guys talk Nintendo like this. I click on videos from you guys even if I’m not super interested in the content just because of your personalities. Thank you for always putting out high quality, fun, clean content :)
The biggest rumor I can remember from my childhood was about the Stop N Swap Eggs and Ice Key from Banjo Kazooie. According to one of my friends, who will remain nameless, the ice key unlocked the otherwise closed fridge inside Rusty Bucket Bay, allowing you to get inside. Inside, he said, was an empty egg carton. Supposedly, if you put every Stop N Swap Egg inside, something really cool would happen (never told me what it was, cause he said he “didn’t want to spoil it for me”, I think he just didn’t have an idea as to what cool thing he could say was hidden there.) He also told me how to get the eggs and ice key, here were the ones I remember most (all of these could only be done on a profile that has already beaten the game):
Red Egg- According to my friend, if you play Superman 64, you can swap out the cart during the credits for banjo kazooie, which will, until you turn off your game, cause a flight pad to appear in spiral mountain. After activating this flight pad, some rings appear in the sky with a time limit, similar to the ones in clanker. Go through them all in the time limit to get the egg.
Yellow Egg- Get a perfect game on Jeopardy and then return to Grunty’s Furnace fun, at which point you will be allowed to redo the game show with new, harder questions. At the end, you get the yellow egg as your prize instead of Tooty. Klungo asked the questions instead of Grunty, as she was still under the rock.
Ice Key- Beat Frappe Snowland in time trials in under 3 minutes, then after the race swap out the cart for Banjo, at which point you can rematch Boggy, who, upon defeat, will open up the sealed area in Wozza’s cave for you, letting you grab the ice key.
No clue why I believed these
Nintendo just leaked Mario vs Rabbids 2 on their website
The happy mask salesman is a bit more threatening than Tom Bombadil imo, but besides that it's a totally apt connection. You win, Mr Alex from Nintendo Life!
My brother told me you could get Louie in smash bros brawl by having four olimars on the Pikmin stage and leaving your game on for ten hours. He just wanted me to leave him alone.
back in 2020 it was discovered that in Heart Gold and Soul Silver, if you go to Cianwood city, and you release all your pokémon except one (because you always need to have one) and you make sure that that one can't learn surf, and you talk to a woman in the pokémon center, she will give you a tentacool
That was so rude! When Jon was telling his story about the secret game within a game boy game Alex said that he wasn’t listening and that he ‘zoned out’ thinking about his washing he has to do later!. At the very least this is his work so he should be focusing because of that but more importantly it’s just respectful to listen when someone is talking to you, I’ve noticed in many videos that Alex likes to talk, often interrupt and override others opinions. Yes he may be more outspoken and may have a more louder, outgoing personality than some others but some of the time he just comes across rude/selfish which is a shame.
Anyone watched how the Balan costume is unlocked in Balan Wonderworld? It’s so “playground rumor” but true. There are videos how to do it if your interested!
If you click on the subscribe button 69 times, then hold down the bell icon for 4 minutes and 20 seconds, you'll get to marry Peach and Zelda, but if you fail, a guy comes to your house and kicks you in the shin and runs away.
My all-time favourites are the hidden rooms/floors in the SM64 castle, and Waluigi in SM64 DS (basically the "L is real" of my generation)
Then later on, I'm not too familiar with the game now since it's been years since I last touched it, but I remember rumours of s 17th colossus in Shadow of the Colossus. Iirc it was allegedly on top of a structure in the game that you had no way of getting up to.
Happy Mask Salesman certainly does have some Tom Bombadil vibes.
Lol mario rabbits 2 got leaked on nintendo website🤣🤣
I don’t believe.
It’s true, they did.
@@WhoEvenIsAndr search up mario and rabbits sparks of hope
@@WhoEvenIsAndr Look at GameXPlain channel
I had an old friend who said that you could unlock the Pokemon Arceus in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. He said it was done by going to Temple and having four players throw a smart bomb at the exact same spot at the exact same time, then throwing a master ball at Arceus when he comes out of the explosions. I never actually tried it, I just took his word for it.
I’m not going to be disappointed if they don’t announce a switch pro. People kept on predicting a “WiiHD” every year after the Wii’s launch then pretended they were prophetic when the WiiU was announced.
My friend in 7the grade said there was a way to get to the tower in the background of the end of Dam in Goldeneye.
Loved this video and the ending with Zion finding out about the Tails Chao 😂 I miss wild rumors and unfound Easter eggs now. Data miners really ruin the fun of it
You can take a Shield in to the Boss fight. Sonic the Hedgehog on the master system. As long as you keep it from the previous level.
The only rumor I remember hearing AND believing was in Mario 64 DS. In a guide on Game FAQs, it said that there was an invisible block in the game (visible on the file select screen, which made it believable), that if hit by shooting yourself out of the canon, it would flood the outside of the castle, and it would make the stain glass Peach become enterable, doing something in the stain glass Peach unlocked Waluigi, who’s door would replace the random locked door that originally had a star or whatever. After trying it for a super long time, someone told me that it was fake, and eventually I believed it was fake.
I sent an angry email that night, saying that it was extremely rude to put something like that on a website like Game FAQs. I think they responded with something like: “what”
I'm loving these discussion videos. Thanks for the video!
You never got the helicopter?
Interestingly enough, the presence of the internet occasionally gives way to more rumors. For example, I once had a thirteen-year-old kid tell me that if you beat all of the challenges in the Battle Resort in Pokemon ORAS, you would get to battle Red and Blue. Unfortunately for him, he didn't realize that the video he'd seen was just a ROM hack...
My friend told me that there was 1 single mission in Final Fantasy 7: Dirge of Cerberus where you could play as Cloud if you did some specific steps that I don't remember
I didn't grow up with video game rumors by the time I started school in 2005 the internet was already well established and rumors were probably easy to debunk.
The internet has made things easier at the cost of taking a lot of the fun out of those same things
@@jackson633 maybe.
Link’s Crossbow Training should come bundled with Twilight Princess on Switch. Was brilliant as a free game.
The thing with Pikablu is that it took so long to be deconfirmed. After all the rumors I remember it first officially showing up in the short before the 1st movie and they don’t tell you its name so we went and saw it and left the theater basically thinking Pikablu was real. And then I never played another Pokemon after Red til gen 6 so I lived many years knowing Marill as Pikablu. So obviously now I always nickname Marill as Pikablu.
I hate to be that guy but someone slipped and mixed in Sunshine footage with Mario Galaxy
Indeed, Alex, the Happy Mask Salesman does indeed sound a lot like Bombadil. That said, Tom Bombadil is the personification of the natural world; a "Father Nature" figure, which the Happy Mask Salesman kind of, well, isn't.
I once had a friend who claimed he had a game similar to Smash Bros but he didn’t have it anymore because he left his GameCube on over night and it melted. He also made me believe that Marth and Roy were part of the Legend of Zelda series and Fire Emblem was a spin off series.
I also once went on one of those cheat websites and it told me that you could unlock Shadow in Melee.
Alex saying "bollocks" gives me life.
