http://videogamelies.wikia.com/wiki/Video_Game_Lies

This is a wiki about classic video game urban legends, like getting the Triforce in Ocarina of Time, or getting Pikablue in Pokemon Red and Blue. What an entertaining site.

Did you ever tell a kid new to Nintendo that he'd get an extra life if he jumped down a pit in SMB to get to your turn faster? I did. Embarrassed

What a great site Deku. Thanks for the find. Can't wait to peruse it when I get home.

"If you got three perfects in a row with Chun-Li, she would remove her panties and show her vagina."

This is obviously a lie for street fighter 2, but it actually works in street fighter IV.......spread the word.

It was rumored before the release of Street Fighter III that its characters included an astronaut and a cowboy who could regain health by drinking tea.

This one made my day. I always loved how Midway fed off rumors, and used them as new ideas.

Good list haha.

Of course, it forget the 'Sonya naked in Mortal Kombat' cheat and 'luigi unlockable in super mario 64" cheat.

I still remember when I first the "Sonic in Super Smash Bros. Melee" lie. I actually tried to debunk the theory by actually making 20 knockouts in Cruel Melee.

Trying out all of those old Pokemon rumors almost killed me when I was little.

They're all true. If you can't make them happen then you are obviously a failure. This wiki is just propaganda designed to spare you the humiliation.

actual conversation-
"friend"- "Yes, my cousin traded me his pikablu yesterday, honest! I just can't bring my gameboy into school, my mum doesn't want me to!"

me- "but you brought it in to play Metal Gear Solid yesterday..."

friend- "well, I'm not allowed to show you my pikablu."

me- "could you at least tell us how your cousin got one?"

*insert long explanation, and many gruelling hours of attempting to get a Pikablu on my part*

I think that by the end of the school year, everyone who'd been trolled into working to get a pikablu had beat this kid up. Last I heard, he works at a McDonalds, and is still trolling little kids by telling them how to get Mew on pokemon diamond. I'm not sure if I want to laugh or cry at how pathetic he is.

Nice site, but I'm surprised that the GTA section so lacking though. There were a ton of rumors/lies in the GTA series not mentioned (bigfoot, Darkel, Maibatsu Monstrosity, etc.).

I really must have tried every ridiculous bullshit tactic to get Luigi in Mario 64, the concept haunts me still.

I hate to be off-topic, but Jack, if I hit refresh when your avatar is on-screen, all of a sudden the picture grows in size and kinda freaks me out.

Haha, good call, I did not even notice that until you pointed it out. Spoooooooky. Rolling Eyes

I remember a lie about being able to go behind Peach's castle in Mario 64 and reach some island where you could choose between playing as Mario, Luigi, Wario, or Peach. I actually think Nintendo heard about this, since in the DS remake they had four characters to choose from, except Peach was replaced with Yoshi. Which makes sense of course, since you know...Peach is supposed to be kidnapped and whatnot...

There was also a lie about being able to play as Waluigi in the DS remake by getting into the outside cannon, and blasting through some random window or something.

Bringing Aeris back to life in FFVII may be the biggest RPG lie......I didn't look around enough to see if it was on the site or not.

What about being able to save General Leo in FFVI?

Ah yes, or the lies about being able to bring him back after the fact. I wasted too much time at that gravestone...

Guys new to Call of Duty 4, we'd always tell them that to get invincibility in multiplayer you hit something like "start, up, A, up, A" really fast, this just makes them exit the game. It's worked for getting rid of guys before.

...
I tried to get flying pikachu like 80 billion times.
Got surfing pikachu though. That was awesome.

And this doesn't go here, because it is true, but I tried trading my silver with my blue version while missingno was in my party and it showed up as wobbufet. wouldn't let me trade it though. :/

I think that it'll show you random pokemon in silver/gold etc.

You all should add these rumors to the wiki. It doesn't have much because it's new, and I really want it to grow.

I tried doing this as well, and the fact that it wouldn't let me trade it was further disheartening by the fact that it showed up as a Raikou. Crying
