The Scarab Gun on Turf in Halo 2. It almost made sense with the destroyed Scarab there and didn't help that the gun actually did exist on one of the campagn levels.
Also in Halo 2, the Golden Warthog on Headlong.

I don't know all the details about it, but I heard that both OoT and Majora's Mask were originally developed for the 64DD. When it was delayed it was decided to just release it for the 64 itself. Same for MM.teh_pwning_dude said:
Yeah you're right about OoT, in fact it has hooks for the 64DD in the code, if you run it on an N64 with a DD installed, you get some extra menus. I don't know if they ever made the 64DD part though, as the hardware came out years later.Silver Patriot said:
Nope master quest has nothing to do with the early prototype, all it is actually is just a harder version of OOT with rearranged dungeons. However their was orginally going to be a zelda expansion pack on the 64dd called legend of zelda ura (this was planned after the development of the main game was shifted to the nintendo 64) but it was canned due to the unpopularity of the 64dd.teh_pwning_dude said:

You beat me to it. 12 years of 3 different game engines, several vaporware awards, and several trailers and screencaps, and finally in may 2009... THE COMPANY GOES BANKRUPT. Whoo. That sucks for you.snowfox said:Remember that rumor about the Duke Nukem game? Hehehehehehe... Suckers...
My favorite rumors were for the pokemon games after red and blue came out. "Press A to capture a pokemon easier." "Mew is under the truck. No, he's in Bill's secret garden. No, there's a hidden cave where there are 3 eggs with Pikablu (marill) Togepi and Mew." "There's a MEWTHREE." It's amazing how many rumors can spark from both a TV series/Video Game series when people don't know that a new one will come out in a few years.
But of course, two big ones I totally bought into were the Triforce in Ocarina of Time and Luigi in Mario 64. I mean HELL there was even an entire page I found online dedicated to unlocking Luigi in mario 64. I spent a good two hours trying the entire process only to fail miserably. Oh, and the triforce in zelda? We've all heard the different theories. And don't get me started on how to unfreeze zora's domain.
I remember an old gaming magazine had an April Fool's joke about Sonic and Tails being in Smash Bros. Melee. They had photo shop pictures, and I remember believing it. The unlock conditions where so stupid that I should have known right away, but they were so hard that I never actually did it. Then next month they printed a thing saying it was a joke and that too many people took it too seriously form all the letters they got.
AHH!! I can't believe I forgot about the Triforce in OoT... I was so dead set on finding that mofo that I'm pretty sure I tried every single thing on those sites! Now that I look back on it, it was probably really dumb of me, but it was the funnest thing I had done in that game.tehweave said:You beat me to it. 12 years of 3 different game engines, several vaporware awards, and several trailers and screencaps, and finally in may 2009...

Edit: I remember an April fools for WoW where they said a wisp was going to be a playable character... I kind of wish they actually did that.
I remeber reading in a game magazine about a cheat code for Tomb Raider 1 (I think it was the first one) where you can go to the pool in the mansion, jump onto one of the things near the stairs, do a back flip or something into the pool and when Lara climbs out of the pool she would be naked.
In FFT, there was a rumor that you would get cloud if you beat the second battle with just ramza and delita. Interesting thing to note is that in this attempt since delita's job points and such are randomly decided I've seen him use the monk skill earth slash in that mission.
Prototype. The leg. I'm still not entirely convinced it's fake though - it DID come from the developers. Which makes it worse if it is fake.
Mechwarrior 4. I still hear people claiming it's part of the Battletech franchise.

I have Pokemon Diamond on a PC emulator (paid for legally before anyone accuses me unwarrantedly of piracy...). I still press the Z and X buttons (since they act as A and B on my keyboard controls) and the Down arrow because of that. More out of sheer habit and the old comfort of it on GB and GBA than anything else...crimson5pheonix said:
