That thread where you talk about the things you learned about games you've played, that you didn't know before, makes a return.
My newest discovery was that Richard from the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening was actually from another game,
Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru. The music for his villa was even a slight remix of the main theme here.
If you're crouching and use the action command in the first person Fallout games near a brahmin, you'll tip it.
Earthbound was called Mother 2 in Japan, the official name of the chiptune/heavy metal song translates to Cease to Exist, and Giygas was inspired by incident of childhood trauma caused by walking into the wrong theater.

I always assumed it was "Oh-nett" as well.
You see, back when I was in elementary school, I had never heard of the MOTHER/Earthbound series, so when I got my Gamecube and Super Smash Bros. Melee, Ness was one of the only characters I didn't recognize. I would always pronounce his stage as "Oh-nett".
But years later, when I finally played Earthbound, and saw that all of the towns had numbers in their names, it then hit me. "Ohhh, it's One-ett, not Oh-nett. Haha!"

So like the word want?
I neve knew this trick/glitch existed until I wated a TAS of Banjo-Kazooie. Anyway, what you have to do is do a Beak Buster on the ground and as Banjo is recoiling from it, he is invincible to practically anything. It's really useful when I want to jump off high platforms back down to the ground and avoid Gruntilda's homing spell since I'm a little stingy with my golden feathers.
It hardly counts but partially because I played in Japanese and partially because I wasn't paying attention, I didn't realize you could block in the Super Training mode of Pokemon XY until I saw a video of someone doing it.
Another one involving me and Melee: For years and years, I never knew what the announcer was saying at the end of a match. I always thought it was, "This games wins", but I still knew that couldn't be right. It wasn't until 2011 or so in which I finally realized that he's saying, "This game's winner is" really really fast.
It also doesn't help that there's always loud music playing over it, and that his voice sounds muffled.
It's like how I thought Ryu/Ken on Street Fighter II for Sega Genesis were saying "Awooget!" when I was a kid, or something to that effect, instead of "Hadouken," because of the lower voice quality and the overlapping music.
Here's a good one!
In Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, one of the Challenge Points you find has a very interesting shape to it. Usually, they look like the icon used for the Rebel Alliance, but on the level where you ride a hoverbike through the desert, take a look in the small nook to the right at the gates to the city. I always assumed that the shape it was in is the shape of the front of the desert bike, but I found out a few years ago that it was the shape of a certain psychotic rabbit detective's head.
did you guys know you can tongue up in yoshi's island

You can lick through solid ground by extending your tongue and forcing it trough , for example by jumping if licking up. That's how the present day Yoshi learned to not give a shit about solid objects when whipping out his tongue in Super Mario World. He forgot how to lick up though. Maybe it's a Pokemon thing.
It was years ago, but that was even more years after I initially played the games, but I never knew Black Hole could be entered in Starfox (SNES), let alone that Out of this Dimension existed. It was a mindblowing experience visiting both for the first time.
Also, the Desert Land map from SMB3 is longer than I thought. Never knew there was more desert beyond that rock. Yay, another flute! Now I can warp to World 8 from World 8 3 times or something!
I just recently learned that the dwarven swordmiths in A Link to the Past will yell at you if you attempt to "help" them using the Magic Hammer.
Something similar happens if you use the Hammer in the presence of the dwarf smith of Hyrule in a Link Between Worlds. The one in Lorule, on the other had, couldn't care less.
