10 HUGE Video Game Secrets You’ll Hate Yourself For Missing

with the internet making it easier to share data than ever before it doesn't take long for the entirety of a video game secrets to be discovered once it's been released that being said there was a time before everyone had access to the internet when game secrets were only found in gaming magazines or spread as rumors across the playground unless players went hunting for hours themselves there was a chance that they missed some amazing content from their favorite games which was sadly the case for me as well so let's get into it I'm Yan this is is W culture gaming and here are 10 huge video game secrets you'll hate yourself for missing number 10 you can play as the duck duck hunt originally releasing in Japan and in arcades before arriving on the NZ in North America in 1985 and a further 2 years before it released in Europe Duck Hunt is a light gun game in which players shoot ducks from the sky using the Nez Zappa peripheral for decades many who played this game believe that this was all there was to the entire experience however there's a massive game-changing secret that added a whole new twist to this arcade shooter that kind of went unknown for longer than you might think by plugging a regular Nez controller into the second Port another player could actually control the Ducks this subsequently gave the game an unexpectedly interesting Competitive Edge in which each player would have to outsmart the other like a Daffy Duck Elma third confrontation if the shooter is Victorious well they could Pride the themselves on their Sharp Shooting skill skills however if they were outwitted by their crafty opponent and in Len tun's logic this happens all the time so I'm guessing this was the same case for the game itself then the notoriously mocking laughter from the dog would only sting that much more strangely enough after the secret had gone undiscovered by so many for so long it was actually actor Seth Rogan who brought this revelatory fact to light tweeting in September 2018 Rogan stumbled upon this huge secret when he accidentally sat on the controller cheers Seth this almost makes up for sausage party almost number nine confronting Julius Saints Row 2 improving on the first game in nearly every conceivable way Saints Row 2 was an absolute blast to play as it doubled down on the zany antics of the original while leaving a gripping plot that had some genuinely hard-hitting moments after completing the campaign by reclaiming still water from the rival gangs that took over the Saints absence though most players were left with some pretty huge questions namely what happened to the former gang leader called Julius it is possible to get closure by heading to the police station where players can find recorded conversations between gang mate turn cop Troy and Julius through listening to them it's revealed that the latter was the one who planted the bomb at the end of the first game that put the protagonist in a comr in the first place listen to all three recordings then called dex's number after collecting it to unlock the secret mission reel ations here players team up with Julius for one last time to defend the Saints form a hideout from hordes of enemies when the dust is cleared players finally get retribution for julius's betrayal with only a handful of throwaway lines about paying Troy a visit at the police station being players only cue that this Mission even existed there's a high chance that many missed this hidden Mission when they first played it in 2009 number eight snakes nightmare Metal Gear Solid three Snake Eater celebrated video game M hideio Kima is no stranger to including weird secrets in his games whether it's adding himself as a gooey monster to jump scare players and death stranding or slipping in a cryptic Silent Hill Easter egg in the teaser for upcoming horror game OD kachima fans can always expect to find some peculiar surprises within his games nowhere is the developers proclivity for the bizarre best seen than in his Metal Gear franchise in addition to chicken hats fast travel cardboard boxes and spooky photographs players could also access a secret playable nightmare section in Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater to play this secret level players need to save their game as soon as snake is thrown into a cell after he's tortured by Colonel vulgan doing so will cause paramedic to tell snake a scary story about Dracula Which snake is naturally displeased to hear because I guess he isn't a fan of gothic fiction whereas I can't get enough of that stuff give me give me creepy vampires I love it upon exiting and reloading the save players will find themselves in snakes nightmare a hack and slash mini game in which they fight hordes of monstrous enemies until the game is over this miname was intended to be turned into its own title called guy Savage however after the project was cancelled the section was removed from all future releases of Snake Eater boo man guy Savage is a great title I mean you got to use that somewhere no number seven underground duck Racing shenmu 2 there's no shortage of activities of players to do in shenmu 2 whenever they aren't searching for whoever killed protagonist Rio's father in addition to arm wrestling street fighting and darts the streets of Hong Kong have one incredibly well- hidden game mode that most players will have completely missed and that mode is underground duck racing and yep it's as fantastically bizarre as it sounds to unlock the mode players will have have to meet some specific criteria that begins with purposely failing a qte event so that Rio bumps into a girl carrying a tray speak to her later win some fights and finally talk to isumi at the Tomato Matt who will then tell Rio about the duck racing yay although this mode only allows players to bet on which bow tie wearing duck they want to win it first catching the white feather while playing the leaf catching miname will allow players to unlock their very own duck that they can compete compete in races with a not only does the duck communicate through some hilarious subtitles but the whimsically upbeat song used during the race will have players laughing with Glee as they race their duck to Victory and yeah it's additions like these that have made the shenmu series such an alltime cult favorite number six playable Green Goblin Spider-Man 2002 although the video game adaptation of Sam ry's first Spider-Man film didn't reach the heights of it sequel 2002's tie-in was nevertheless a superb superhero outing and let me tell you I played the hell out of it alongside a solid combat system and a fantastic Cameo from Bruce Campbell as the narrator the game also featured an excellent Rogues gallery of villains for players to fight also bowling which myself and the what culture gaming crew played for Christmas 2023 and yeah what can I say I'm something of a bowler myself but I have a grudge withon Spiderman 2002 and it's because until only recently and by recently I mean the other year I discovered that you could play as Green Goblin in this game what the hell I would have killed for that when I was six little Yan looking in the mirror talking about how the cunning Warrior attacks neither body nor mind man Spider-Man 2002 and I it would have had one hell of a time also yeah I I won't inflict that Willam defo impression on you any longer I just I see Green Goblin and it just it just takes over me okay anyway more than just an alternate costume playing as the Green Goblin gave players access to their iconic glider from the film and Comics while swinging around New York as everyone's favorite wall crawler is always a joy flying through the city skyscrapers was arguably even cooler to experience this phenomenal new way to play the game players had to complete the game on the tougher hero difficulty which would unlock the costume in The Secret store select the costume and start a new game without resetting bonus points and players will load in as the Goblin and get their own mini story with Harry Osborne also accessible through using cheats to unlock all levels to skip straight to the end Spider-Man fans will be kicking themselves for not knowing about this secret all the way back in 2002 and and speaking of stupid stupid stupid number five the sarcastic announcer Wave Race Blue Storm released for the GameCube in 2001 wave racer Blu storm was a light-hearted racing game in which players would race jet skis throughout a series OIC locations performing jumps and pulling offs some tricks along the way while you bother the local aquatic Wildlife there was even a weather system that would affect the difficulty of the various courses part of the game's laidback charm stem from the friendly announcers who would comment on how players were doing throughout the race each of the playable characters had their own equally Pleasant announcer but there was a secret one that players could unlock by following some steps that were so unintuitive that it took 9 years after the game's release for them to actually be found by entering the game's audio menu tweaking a waveform and then entering a version of the famous Konami Code players would be granted access to the extra announcer the opposite of the encouraging voices that players were accustomed to this announcer was incredibly sarcastic and merciless in their cruelty they constantly undermine and players during the race by throwing out insults in the most unimpressed tone imaginable while players self-esteem might take a hit this was a f addition to a pretty underrated title ah finally a game that lets you play the YouTube comments section I'm just joking I love you guys you're great number four line mode golden eye7 anyone who played golden ey7 on the Nintendo 64 will undoubtedly have fun nostalgic memories of playing through iconic moments from the tit film along side competing with friends in its Exquisite multiplayer modes players could also have even more fun by using one of the game's 23 unlockable cheats to give everyone giant heads or allow them to play as a comically small James Bond however there was another secret cheat code hidden within the game that was removed by developers rare before its release this secret 24th cheat was line mode and it was only discovered by fans using Code altering software after the gamees release unlike the other cheats which could be unlocked by completing certain levels within a specific time players could only access the secret mode by inputting a specific combination of button presses at any point during single player that were far too complicated to stumble upon by sheer accident like its name suggests entering this code correctly will transform the game into something that's best described as a rough sketch come to life with the secret sheet also usable in the recent switch release of the game players don't even need to own an N64 to see what they missed all the way back in 97 number three fighting reptile Mortal Combat the original Mortal Kombat was influential for several reasons not only did it help Define an entire genre and establish one of the best known video game franchises of all time but it was also one of the games responsible for establishing the ESRB in the United States thanks to the series deliciously grw some violence one thing that players may not have known about the classic game though is that it was possible to actually fight reptile I mean model combat fans today will probably know that one but if you were just a little guy back in 92 like a tiny Scott tailford and hey maybe you missed the chance to become the scaly boy himself the first secret character to actually appear in a fighting game reptile is an amalgamation of Scorpio and Subzero in terms of looks and move set they'll occasionally appear before fights to challenge players to a duel and offers some clues about how to fight them starting this battle though requires that players meet an incredibly specific set of requirements that are pretty difficult to pull off firstly players must be fighting on the pit stage in single player when a silhouette is spotted on the moon they must then achieve a double Flawless Victory without blocking before finally winning the match with the chosen character's fatality meet these conditions and reptile will appear beginning one of the hardest fights in the entire game although players couldn't actually play as reptile in the original it was nevertheless cool to be able to fight them number two two player mode Super Punch Out from Mario Kart to Double Dragon there were no shortage of excellent two-player games released on Nintendo consoles one famous Nintendo game from the SN era that didn't appear to have a multiplayer mode though was 1994 boxing game super punch out with no obvious option to allow for two players to Duke it out in the ring together the reasonable conclusion to make was that the game was strictly a single player Affair this was what the Gaming Community was led to believe for almost three whole decades until one user discovered two secret cheat codes that when used together would allow a second player to join the fight holding Y and R while on the title screen using a second controller and pressing a or start on the first controller unlocks a screen where an opponent can be chosen from all the gamees fighters after selecting a character hold B and Y on the on the second controller and press a or start on the first controller to enable a second player to take control of that chosen character even better this code also works on the SN app on the switch and the version included on the SNES mini console too so go ahead knock yourself out well don't do that literally but in the game hey there there's plenty of that and number one what if mode Spider-Man 200000 the second Spider-Man game to feature on this list 2000 Spider-Man is a fre ly underappreciated gem from the PS1 era that doesn't get as much attention today as it probably deserves like you love sassy Venom in The Tom Hardy movies well wait until you get a load of this guy he's are pure Rascal and I love him featuring an assortment of iconic villains to fight alongside cameos from other Marvel heroes wall crawling and web mechanics that added an extra layer to combat and coning narration from the late Stanley himself there was plenty to adore about never soft's title and much like the Marvel Comics of the same name the what if mode in noft Spider-Man offers an alternative take on the game's events although the main plot plays out in much the same fashion everything is taken a little less seriously this time around with self-aware dialogue from characters references to aliens and Raiders of the Lost Ark and a lot more spontaneous dancing than anyone would usually expect from a Spider-Man game this mode is an absolute joy to play from start to finish to witness This Magnificent mode in all of its wonderful silliness players need to enter the code GB hsrs pm on the PlayStation version or and this is the cooler one U C's on the Nintendo 64 in reference to The Watcher the same name from the comics and then start a new game when the words what if contest appear on screen Spider-Man fans you won't be disappointed with this mode it's a great old time and one you'll probably be kicking yourselves for not having played when it first came out
