I wish people would acknowledge that Jennifer Hale was never the only actress to play Samus in Metroid Prime. Samus' voice as early as Prime 1 was a mix of recordings from both Jennifer Hale and Vanessa Marshall, and no one EVER talks about Marshall's contribution.
Legendary voice actress Jennifer Hale has been replaced as the voice of Samus in Metroid Prime 4, the new game's credits have revealed. https://bit.ly/4rEv7Cs

Mr. Mime Mystery Slurpee (2019-2019): A "mystery-flavored" slush drink from 7-11, released as a promotional item for the film "Detective Pikachu". The flavor was actually a combination of passion fruit, orange, and peach.

Looks like Kung Fu Tea has once again teamed up with Pokémon/Nintendo for a new promotion in honor of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. If I get to review these it will likely be a few weeks.

If you check in at Nintendo San Francisco you can get exclusive Nintendo Switch icons to use. Wish New York would get them too.

Happy 37th birthday to Zelda II: The Adventure of Link! We don't have much related to Zelda II in our archive (yet) but here's a cool fact: Did you know that there's a 16-bit version of the Zelda II title theme on certain versions of the SNES Burn-in Test Cartridge? We'd love to know who made it!

So Kirby Air Riders has timed events for exclusive stuff and I thought it would just take place over the weekend. But no, for seemingly no good reason it takes place in a few small two hours chunks over the weekend. Here on the east coast that's 6am, 2pm, and 10pm. Wtf were they thinking?

In Clu Clu Land on NES, if you successfully uncover every gem in the bonus stage, you get a 3,000 point bonus. But due to a programming error, you only get 30 points added to your score.
The English language manual even acknowledges the bug. But it wasn't fixed until the Virtual Console release.

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?
