In a nutshell, Super Mario 2 in Japan is known as The Lost Levels in the U.S. Nintendo apparently decided to make an easier version of Mario 2 for U.S. release, and instead of making a new game from scratch, reworked an existing game called Doki Doki Panic. Which helps explain why Mario 2 is so different from any of the others. But still my favorite by far... :) - d2002, on 11/21/2008, -2/+15I need to work Poppycock into my daily vocabulary.

- krogothwolf, on 11/21/2008, -0/+10I'm think I know all those on the Sega System. It's Genesis vs 2, Sega CD 2, 32X, Sega Power Base Converter, Sega Cleaning System, Game Genie, Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic and Knuckles again, and Sonic 3. Have I got it right? And why are there 2 sonic and knuckles?
- costumemaker, on 11/21/2008, -0/+8One of the more heated debates you can get into with an 80's video game nerd is the origin of the name Donkey Kong. Widely believed to be a mistranslation from monkey kong, but apparently thats not true.

Figured it was somewhat related - borez, on 11/21/2008, -0/+6Oh man, I miss 2D sonic, reminds me of a more innocent youth.
- rl41, on 11/21/2008, -0/+6Dugg for the Too Human part
- KSUdesigner, on 11/21/2008, -3/+9They probably skipped that one because everybody knows about it already.
- bababooey141, on 11/21/2008, -0/+5lol @ the ffVI n64 thong
- sonicjosh, on 11/22/2008, -0/+5The only one I didn't know was the cleaning system. And if they are going to stack 2 S&K's and say that counts they shouldn't they have dupes of everything else, like 3 32x's or something.
- GiJoeBob, on 11/21/2008, -1/+5No mention of Marathon bringing about the Halo story?
- IronPwnage, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were supposed to be the same game?
...My whole childhood...it was a lie! - EricAnderton, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3"Balderdash", certainly.
"Poppycock"?! Well, there is simply no need for *that* kind of language around here.
Good day, sir. - whataSAMF, on 11/28/2008, -1/+4thats peachy keen
- MarioBrosCom, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3I refuse to believe it.
- ran24, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3Wow, Leon is fat in the "hooked man" trailer
- RaDeus, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3I'm surprised that they didn't mention that command&conquer was originally about pirates (and now you know why Kane has an eye patch)
- airwalke, on 11/21/2008, -2/+4Wow, memories. Halo, especially, because I was excited about this new game the "Marathon guys" were cooking up for the Mac, only to have it swiped away by Microsoft and published exclusively for the XBox.
Sonic & Knuckles was pretty awesome, as was Knuckles Chaotix. Boy, do I wish I still had my 32X... - FredFredrickson, on 11/21/2008, -1/+3Dagnabbit!
- roctimo, on 11/21/2008, -1/+3What the sam hill are you guys talking about?
- gordmoo, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2not really origins, more general info. mostly of games that never came about.
- i38warhawk, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2Wait, so games change over the development period? Interesting read anyway...
- OwlFlavored, on 11/22/2008, -0/+2Conker's Bad Fur Day was hilarious. Here are some clips for those of you that missed it:

"So, what are you going to do now? Kill yourself? Because that's what I would recommend." - infinitus64, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2i think the crew that made the last good sonic games making sonic unleashed.
- Frozenfuryblade, on 11/23/2008, -0/+2"Just kidding, Too Human isn't one of our favorite games"
- Lynxist, on 11/23/2008, -0/+2Some interesting new tidbits of information on some really sweet classics.
- Awezing, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2Quick! Let's Google some random facts and get some videos off of Youtube and then we'll be the next gamesrader!
Seriously, screw them. - evilesttoast, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2Wait, the shell use to be a black face head?
- MarineDigg80, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2Different name or not Mario still would have been a hit they could have called it Italian Mushroom Eater everyone still would have played it.
- Gamer4111, on 02/11/2009, -0/+0Cool, didn't know that :D

- MacroDaemon, on 11/21/2008, -6/+5The lack of PC games is disturbing.
- haydesigner, on 11/21/2008, -3/+2You betcha.
- infinitus64, on 11/21/2008, -4/+2i could still be surprising if not new.
- pitchblack16, on 11/21/2008, -10/+3Seems like a typo in one of those pics...Looks like a pic from Devil May Cry but they seem to have labeled it Resident Evil 4 part 1. Don't remember any dancing puppeteer clowns in any Resident Evils.
