7 Embarrassing Bugs Games Embraced with Excellent Results

A good trick for when you make an

embarrassing

mistake is to claim that you did it on purpose, like earlier in this sentence when I said porpoise instead of purpose, which was actually a subtle reminder that we must protect the planet's ocean life. A group that knows this trick. Okay, so video game developers sometimes overlook an

embarrassing

bug in their game and then embrace the bug by making it a feature or lovingly referencing it in their sequels. With that in mind, here are 7 times game companies grabbed the lemons of failure. Mortal Kombat was a gigantic hit in the '90s thanks in part to its level of shocking violence, exemplified by kills, finishing moves in which your fighter would kill his opponent in gruesome and gory detail or in detail as gruesome and gory as those of an arcade. the machines could handle the color P in 1992, these went from below zero ripping out an opponent's spine.

I think a Kano taking the opponents out of him is fine, pretty sure it's a heart like 90% sure, one of our favorites, although it was the fatality that belongs to Johnny Cage. arrogant Hollywood star of terrible action movies who inexplicably wears biker shorts and ballet slippers in Johnny's doom, delivers a hook so powerful that he literally decapitates his outmatched enemy, a solemn end to a human life that Johnny recognizes respectfully putting on sunglasses and doing a punch, there was a bug in the game, however, that made it into the final version where if you performed the button combination required for Johnny's death twice in quick succession, you could do it twice in a row hitting two heads on your opponent's shoulders, be quick. enough and you could even do it up to three times, but this strange bug only worked on four fighters, scorpion sub-zero, Kano and, strangely, Johnny himself.

I guess even he doesn't like Johnny's movies, however, instead of trying to fix this mistake, the developers bowed. in the sequel to Mortal Kombat 2, in which Johnny Cage had a second secret death in which he pulled three heads out of his opponents' neck holes in quick succession; he is even referenced in the most recent Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat 11 with Johnny having a secret brutality that mimics the original and a fatality where it seems like he still has trouble getting it right. Uppercut takes 2 it's been 28 years Johnny. I'm pretty sure this is up to you at this point if you know a little about us here on the outside. xbox and what it's all about, then you know we know as much about American football as a tea bag knows about differential calculus.

Well, Mike, do you understand how to score a touchdown? No, not at all, do you understand what a touchdown is, no, if there is one. What we understand even less than American football is the long-running Madden NFL football video game series. I call a kicking or punching game control player. All that said, I'm sure of two things: one, the ball is an elongated spheroid and Two American soccer players tend to be pretty big. I am transforming into something I never knew I could be. That was our first clue that something had gone wrong when, six years ago, in Madden NFL 15, the image of Cleveland Browns rookie linebacker Christian Kirksey appeared in the game. being a diminutive jock in the Pope's eyes rather than a full-scale footballer in real life at the time footballer Christian Kirksey was 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighed 235 pounds in Madden Ultimate Team within the Tennessee's solo challenge Titans Kirksey ran onto the field just over a foot tall thanks to a mistake that Polygon reported as a typo yeah it looks like someone somewhere walked in on Kurt's height his height is one foot two instead of six foot two, while this somewhat reduced his effectiveness as a linebacker, it increased his adorableness by 500% and at the end of the day, isn't that what football is really about?

It's not wow, I don't really know football. Instead of immediately fixing the problem, the developers realized that they had accidentally created something wonderful and owned their mistake during one glorious weekend. EA promoted the Tiny Titan hashtag and enlisted the help of Christian Kirksey himself in life. real. It was a pretty good sport to have five feet blocked for your height, hey, no matter how small I am, I can get to the play and I can make a tackle and I invited the players to enjoy the world's smallest footballer with this inspiring trailer, No matter how small you are, live with big dreams.

Now we know three things about football. Final Fantasy 6 was a 1994 Snares game that unlike Final Fantasy 7 hasn't received a big budget remake, which is a shame because if there's anything we need to see with all new animations and in crisp resolution in 4k it's a guy suplexing a train, something that happens in Final Fantasy 6. but it wasn't supposed to be something that happened in Final Fantasy 6 for context. Final Fantasy 6 updated the medieval feel of previous Final Fantasy

games

with a steampunk setting and you know what that means, gears, gears, and yes, trains, also gears, the training question is. a boss you encountered during the game known as the Phantom Train, an undead ghost train that transports souls to the afterlife and those who will fight you despite it being presumably very easy to avoid by running off the rails.

The ghost train is a powerful boss and will attack you with its special moves, a devilish whistle, something called evil, and acid rain. However, what Ghost Train is most reminiscent of is the fact that he was vulnerable to the character, except for the suplex move, this is professional wrestling. Technique in which you grab your opponent, lift him into the air and throw him back to the ground. It's easy enough to do on a human being, not so easy on a moving eight-car passenger train, and yet here we are, just like this, it wasn't. It's Supposedly Possible Final Fantasy 6 has a hidden stat for flying or heavy enemies that makes them immune to being suplexed.

Luckily for us, someone forgot that this should also apply to trains, while it was certainly a mistake to save the power suplex from trains was such. such a hit among fans that even in later versions of the game where other

bugs

had been fixed, this one remained still. Square Enix even acknowledged fans' penchant for improbable suplexes in their next game, Final Fantasy 7, where Tifa was given the meteor boost limit to break a vertical. suplex that could be used on any enemy regardless of size, that doesn't mean trains come out lightly in Final Fantasy 7, although man what is this series that has its trains?

There's an old saying that golf is a good ride and breaks down well in a golf video game. you can't even walk anywhere that didn't seem to prevent the Tiger Woods PGA Tour series of golf

games

from gaining widespread popularity in the 2000s and early 2010s, when there was enough appetite for a new golf game every year for a period . 16 years old, but games take a long time to develop properly with such a metronomic release schedule,

bugs

and glitches were likely to appear in Tiger Woods PGA Tour or 8, the so-called Jesus shot, discovered, named by a YouTube user called Levin, at 225 it was One of those misses, look, my goodness, I'm not very familiar with the Bible, but Jesus also scored the shot for par?

Even a man with the enormous skill of Tiger Woods will have difficulty playing a shot from the surface of a water hazard in reality. life, but the EAS editor or the fun side by producing a live-action recreation with the real Tiger Woods replicating the mistake. More ammunition for people who think we live in the matrix. EA even went a step further by creating an additional challenge in the 2010 edition of Tiger Woods in which you had to recreate the shot as seen in the commercial and unlock an achievement called Levin, a t25 named after the person who originally found the bug to be a funny addition, but not as funny as seeing Tiger himself keeping a straight face.

While he talks about the shot, we are in the heart, it was a good shot, convinced of these golf video games, although apparently the driving in the game has something to do with hitting the ball and nothing to do with an impromptu golf cart race to through the back nine is not for me the briefcase is one of the many tools at your disposal and hitman 2 and now it better happen if you know a little about us here outside of Xbox and what it's about then you'll know we love hitman Like Agent 47 loves to make sinister puns, so it's a good thing everything dies for Mr.

Knox, if there was anything that could make us endure the age of 47 more strongly than we already do, it was the addition of a throwing weapon that wasn't as horribly deadly as a briefcase was. When Hitman 2 came out in 2018, it included a simple look at a briefcase like the one one might use to carry documents and small items or hit a face-up target. Senior Agent 47 could also throw this briefcase at his target from a distance, which was when it became apparent that this was no ordinary business bag. The game makes this briefcase, when thrown, fly constantly and inexorably towards its target, following it even around corners until it powerfully hits it on the head.

The

results

, of course, were extremely funny, but after all, this was a programming error, so Hitman 2 Studio io Interactive diligently fixed it. This bug about 4 months after the game came out and then we responded, took on two passionate pleas from Tracker Briefcase fans, the developers changed course and accepted their accidentally incredible mistake by restoring the original case, as unstoppable as it ever was the heat-seeking hitman's briefcase. Added back to the game as the Mark 2 Executive Briefcase, the developers not only reinstated the tenacious throwing weapon, but its throwing speed was also and I quote tweaked for maximum flair, now that's why I got into this business which in word games the name implies. some subtlety, so we're not sure why Capcom chose that name for the character with that hairstyle, that's not to say that cunning isn't capable of being cunning in the hands of the right player as a charged character, most of his moves special ones involve secret charging.

I made a move only to unleash it at the perfect moment, which would have been half a second later than what I just did, the cleverest move, although it was a completely unintentional addition that only exists in the first arcade version of Street Fighter 2, the The so-called handcuff glitch was made by executing the input for a lightning kick, but pressing the pair of buttons that would normally activate a throw resulted in the other player ending up locked in place as if they were wearing a pair of invisible handcuffs. , bright. You're probably thinking it's time to attack my hapless pinned enemy for easy wins, but none of your attacks are working anymore and your opponent is stuck to you like a day-old piece of gum.

Have you ever heard of personal space? Ken, God, in fact, when the match timer goes off, you don't win, even if you have more health, the game just crashes with Geil's piercing blue eyes staring at you accusingly, the only solution is to restart the game or fall in love , restart. I guess Capcom fixed the problem. in a later version of the arcade machine, but the handcuffed bug became legend, there is a reference to it in one of Geil's wind quotes and in Street Fighter Alpha 3, which is totally baffling if you've never heard of this promise, there is surely a moment on Chumley's Street too.

Fighter 4 prologue movie where Guile appears with a pair of handcuffs, implying that he simply carries them in his combat pants in case of emergencies. Why don't you use B? Ironically, it was a horrible game tied to horrible movies. Fruit Fights, the movie, the game had the best tribute, adding an official handcuff move to Geil's abilities. He pulls it off and locks the opponent in a pair of visible handcuffs for a few seconds, which is fitting because pretty much every other aspect of this game. It was an absolute crime. I'm sorry to say that at this point the game doesn't crash and you have to continue playing, sorry, challenging how things work in the real world in Mario games by devouring brightly colored unidentified mushrooms.

Overall, it's not always good, as throughout the series there have been several strange mushrooms that have a negative effect on the titular plumber, including the mini mushroom that shrinks him down to a small size or the toadstool, which is a much more accurate representation. Of the effects of eating random mushrooms off the ground, the strangest mushroom of all, however, is the appropriately named Strange Mushroom from the maker of Super Mario, a thin, disgusting mushroom that when touched turns youin a lanky and disgusting Mario. Well, technically, these long arms and legs are much more. Having human proportions for Mario seems super strange, especially with his bow-legged stance and lanky running style, this lanky Mario can jump higher, has fewer pulling surfaces, and, Of course, it's basically unbearable to watch people wondering why the hell the lovely Nintendo would do this.

For us, his loyal fans might be relieved to discover that it wasn't actually on purpose, according to Mario designer Takashi Tezuka, a coding error caused Mario's proportions to go out of control and instead of abandoning the project , they burned the studio and salted the earth. They liked his look so much that they decided to adopt him and keep him in the game, so for some reason there was a bug where instead of turning us into a Super Mario, this strange, skinny Mario appeared and he was so strange and funny that we decided to include this bug back in the specifications.

You'll notice that these weird, skinny Tesca Mario he's showing us here are a lot less weird and skinny than the weird Mario we got in the final version of the game, which means Nintendo actively made him more ominous between this Nintendo presentation at e3 2014 and games released in September 2015, the strange mushroom apparently has a 1 in 10 chance of appearing whenever you place a normal super mushroom in a level or can unlock it as a permanent. accessory in your creative arsenal finishing the Nintendo World Championship courses of the game so you can be weird Mario all you want the amount I want is zero thanks Nintendo that's your lot friends thanks for watching this video from outside of Xbox I've been Janne and these have been seven embarrassing mistakes that were
