video game fan theories that turned out
to be true

more great content for this list we’re
looking at some of the most conspicuous
theories confirmed to be true by future
titles in-game content or developer
comments it’s been three long years
since Giovanni disappeared he completely
vanished never tenth all bonds Goldeneye
double-oh-seven
[Music]
all it takes is a couple of ambiguous
rumors to spark a theory before us kids
have the good old internets
rumor had it that you can play is all of
the different bond actors in goldeneyes
multiplayer Connery Moore Dalton and of
course Brosnan however this was actually
just an April Fool’s prank by electronic
gaming monthly that is until rare came
out and said otherwise
as it turns out all bonds mode was
supposed to be in the final version of
the game but it didn’t make the cut for
quote various reasons which explains why
a gameshark allows you to see images of
past bonds in the character selection
screen
number nine secret nukes Metal Gear
Solid 5 the phantom pain the patients
have stabilized but there’s no telling
how many will make it the warhead we
seized ruptured during transport no game
can escape the curiosity of data miners
when a hidden cutscene was discovered in
the game’s files players were left
wondering how in the world to unlock it
the prevailing theory was that the only
way to do so was for all players to
surrender their nukes in the online
multiplayer mode Konami actually
supported this theory and said that
they’ve been keeping tabs since the
game’s release but for every last player
in the community to surrender their
nukes this seems unlikely number 8
Canadian Shepard Mass Effect 3 commander
you’re not supposed to call me that
anymore James not supposed to salute you
either we got to go the Defense
Committee wants to see you
sounds important well I’ll be damned
Shepards from Canada we may not have any
direct confirmation from the developers
but the proof is in the pudding when you
observe bits and pieces from the game
for starters there’s male chefs mark
Mears slight accent which can be hard to
spot but it’s there then there’s the
fact that the prologue of Mass Effect 3
takes place in Canada all right or
Shepard can just come right out and put
the nail in the coffin promise him in a
few months we’ll be sipping drinks back
in Vancouver
Vancouver not Paris not Venice Vancouver
yep that dialogue bit just basically
confirms it chefs from Vancouver tell
that to the Defense Committee number
seven the Shinra company Final Fantasy
seven
[Music]
among the many connections of the
different final fantasy story arcs this
one was one of the most challenging in
Final Fantasy x-2 one of the main
characters is named Shinra does that
name sound familiar well for those of
you who haven’t played Final Fantasy 7
the Shinra company was essentially a
manufacturer of Mako energy and easily
accessible electricity scenario writer
Kazushige nojima created the Shinra
character thinking that shinra would go
on to start the big company so we’ll
just go ahead and take that as part of
the official canon for now number 6
multiple timelines The Legend of Zelda
series
[Music]
this one caused quite a number of
headaches among Zelda fans for some time
we were left in the dark wondering which
games across the series happened at
which point in links life or life’s is
there a possibility that there are
multiple links well the answers were
given when Dark Horse Comics published
Hyrule historia a book written by
Shigeru Miyamoto Eiji Aonuma and a
Cudahy mikawa the chart confirms what
has long been the prevailing theory
amongst fans that not all of the games
take place in a single timeline and that
the ending of Ocarina of Time and
something to do with it
it’s a little complex to explain but
it’s cool to see Nintendo help clarify
things number 5 symmetric is on the
spectrum
overwatch Springs harmony representation
is important in video games it can allow
players to feel a connection with their
favorite characters it’s something that
they can relate to with common
characteristics and these details help
more people feel included in the games
they play our lovely Indian architect
required a little more investigating
though fans had reason to believe that
Symetra was possibly autistic and when
the comic a better world was released
Symetra said something about being on
the spectrum when director Jeff Kaplan
confirmed that she was indeed autistic
he said she does a great job at
representing just how awesome someone
with autism can be we must turn them
back do it online number four it was all
a play Super Mario Brothers 3
the answer to this was a long time
coming you ever wondered why Super Mario
Brothers 3 opens with a curtain and why
are the platform’s hanging from the top
of the screen it’s almost as if
everything is just a big stage play it’s
probably one of the most obvious
theories on this list but it felt like
an eternity before we got a straight
answer from Shigeru Miyamoto in 2015
during an interview with Nintendo UK
Miyamoto was asked if the game was a
play the whole time answering with a
simple nod finally
[Music]
number three Giovanni’s son Pokemon
series
[Music]
you know sometimes we don’t really care
about our rivals all that much so long
as we shut their big mouths in a Pokemon
battle yet there’s something oddly
intriguing about our rival silver in
pokemon gold and silver in FireRed and
LeafGreen 18 rocket scientists will
speculate if red is Giovanni son before
correcting himself and mentioning that
Giovanni son has red hair
the idea that silver is Giovanni son was
only solidified when HeartGold and
SoulSilver posted a promotional event
where Celebi can take the player to a
flashback of Giovanni abandoning his son
what a sorrowful secret
[Music]
number two Mary’s body Silent Hill – you
were always so forgetful remember that
time in the hotel Maria this was as big
of a twist as an M night Shyamalan movie
how can it be possible to receive a
letter from your wife when she’s been
dead for the past three years
trick question kids you can’t anyways
Silent Hill 2 was confusing in its
multiple endings especially with the in
the water ending while most fans believe
Mary’s body has been in the trunk the
whole time they only really not part of
the truth however designer Masahiro Ito
tweeted out that Mary’s body was
actually in the back seat of James’s car
so not the trunk you know you’d think
that James would notice something like
that I’m alone there now in our special
place waiting for you number one Sonic
keats
MJ sonic the hedgehog three
[Music]
does this music sound familiar well many
gamers in the mid 90s certainly thought
so as many were led to believe that the
legendary pop star Michael Jackson might
have worked with Sega on the soundtrack
for Sonic 3 developers of this classic
platformer have come out to say that MJ
did work on the game namely the carnival
night zone music but it wasn’t for as
long as one might think the King of Pop
was uncredited and left the project to
be sexual abuse allegations against him
at the time so many of the songs had to
be reworked yet somehow fans were still
able to identify Jackson’s unique style
