I couldn't think of a more creative title. Sorry.
So I was browsing the Internet recently and I found some really cool facts. Not the very well known ones. The not so well known ones. For example:
- Did you know the creeper was made because of a failed Pig model?
- Street Fighter 3rd Strike originally was meant to have 100% new characters?

The bushes in Super Mario Bros. are clouds.
Donkey Kong Country 2 is called Diddy's Kong-quest (Diddy's Conquest) and not Diddy Kong's Quest.

Capcom are pretty good at turning glitches into features. Street Fighter II combos originally being glitches were is well known, but Devil May Cry's fighting system was based on a glitch that allowed you to launch and air combo in Onimusha.

When designing the levels for Metal gear solid 2. Hideo and his team used to design the levels by making them out of Lego.
He also used to keep everyone on there toes by practising Snakes moves that he was coming up with by sneaking up behind his staff and knocking them out in sleeper holds.

Oh snap! Why did they have to change their minds?
I'm enjoying this thread; it's like a mini-geeky version of QI. Some sources might be nice though.
