There are some good ones about a couple of Rockstar games. My favourite one was that Bigfoot could be found in the hills in GTA San Andreas, followed by a rash of horrendously fake images claiming to show him in-game. Apparently there are also UFO's but these have been dismissed as high flying planes.

Some good ones are starting to fly around regarding Red Dead Redemption too. Several people claim to have seen a huge, lightning fast werewolf that runs on it's hind legs that appears during full moons in Tall Trees. There are seriously people organizing hunting trips in multiplayer trying to track this beast down, despite the fact that the only screenshot image of it in-game shows a creature that comes up on the first page of a google image search for 'werewolf' and has clearly been photoshopped in. There are some good (and quite creepy) tales of Tumbleweed being legitimately haunted like it mentions in the newspaper as well.

Shenlong in SFII. AKUMA in Resident Evil 2. Naked Sonya Blade/Tomb Raider/Killer Insticnt Chicks etc. Shenmue 3. Sega is making a new system in time for Sonic 4. Big FOot and UFO in San Andreas.

OFF TOPIC. I just noticed this by looking at someones avatar on this topic, The Halo Elites in armour look just like a cross between Xenomorphs and Predators.

Any rumour involving the Triforce in OoT. Some were hilariously bad, saying you could play the "Song og the Owls" or whatever, some seemed more reasonable, all were bollocks.

Thanks a lot to this picture.
That picture is actually real but its is a very early build of ooT developed for the n64 add on 64dd (circa 1996). The triforce was actually going to be a obtainable item before they changed the whole story to have link actually have a piece of the triforce on his hand.

Shen-Long from Street Fighter II

and don't forget Polybius [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polybius_(game)]
I looked at the first couple of lines in the wikepidia page...I'm scared now.
"The Polybius legend is an integral part of the plot of Doomsday Arcade, a video series hosted by Escapist Magazine."

I'm even more scared now

How could I forget the great Wheat Sword in Golden Sun? The thing is so hard to get, I have a feeling that that official walkthrough was lying to me.
As an avid golden sun fan in shocked i am not aware of this!

On a different note the presence of mew in super smash bros, aparently if you threw enough pokeballs he would appear and you would unlock him as a character.

I remember hearing somewhere that after completing MGS1 on the Playstation for about 4 times you'd get a chance to play as Gray Fox. Aaaand it was a lie.
Wow, that's some determination. Oh, the rumor that Silent Hill titles (after 4) were staying true to the series. No, they weren't (SNOW?!?! Seriously?!?! NO!!! RIP Pyramid Head, may you never be resurrected again for another lame game.)

Pikablu is one that comes to mind.

Also the amount of Goldeneye stuff which takes the cake to me, especially the Island across from Dam.

I remember all the Pokemon rumors. Mew underneath the truck near the SS Anne and how to get mew. Anyone else have stories they want to share.

The only one I could think of was the Mew truck one. I wished it was true. It would have been easier to get Mew that way.
You know u can get mew from red and blue in cerulean city??

I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet but I remember a certain game called Duke Nukem Forever. :)

Wow. It took 64 comments before the Bigfoot & ufo San Andreas rumor? That was the first one I thought of.
I never went looking for them but if it was in there, I probably would've seen them. I played that game to death.

There was another R* rumor about a ps3 exclusive game of some sort; some vague spy thing I think. Apparently they've been working on it for 7 or 8 years or something like that.

I haven't heard of the Werewolf in RDR but I've heard about the Tumbleweed ghost.
