Gaming's hidden messages

Grant kids to hell, read into the Bungie logo and become Death - destroyer of grammar

Words: Justin Towell, GamesRadar UK

There are hidden messages in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, from Nintendo luminaries Iwata and Miyamoto. They're not satanic or disturbing in the slightest, but still interesting:



Iwata's message:
"Hello, this is Iwata from Nintendo.
A president has to take things really seriously, even if it doesn't seem like it. It's understandable if you lose weight from stress...but I get fatter instead. Nobody thinks I'm taking it seriously."

Miyamoto's Message:
"Ah, can you hear me? This is Miyamoto.
All of you playing Metroid, can you hear me?
It's fun, isn't it?
I've also worked on many [Metroid] games, but this one is the best yet, don't you think?
Definitely play it all the way to the end.
See you!"

And who could forget the door in Assassin's Creed that looks like Optimus Prime from the Transformers?

 

It's a bit silly, but still cool. It's hard to know where hidden messages stop and daft Easter eggs begin... so one more demonic-sounding hidden voice before we leave you with the most juvenile hidden message we've seen. This rather sinister-sounding voice is hidden in Jam Sessions on DS. When you play a specific chord, you can hear a voice whisper something. But... as a YouTube comment pointed out, it could just be the Japanese word 'Tsugimasu' which apparently means 'next'. As in 'Let's record the next chord'. But that's no fun, is it? No, must be Satan or something.



So to the final message. There's no hidden meaning as such - it's pretty self-explanatory. Found in GTA3, you can't see it unless you fly over the stadium or use a cheat, but here's a screen for you to save you the hassle.

 

Yup, we felt our IQ drop a few points too.

Don't forget the sign found at the UNLV level in rainbow 6 vegas. Found in the "quad" it says emo kids suck.

You forgot Portal (or this was written before the release of the Orange Box - meh.)the messages written on the walls:

Because I could not stop for death,
he kindly stopped for me.
The cube had food, and maybe ammo,
and Immortality.

Not in anger, not in wrath,
The REAPER came today.
An ANGEL visited this gray path,
and took the cube away.

What about in Final Fantasy I and II Dawn of Souls on GBA? In FFI, there's a Tombstone somewhere that says "Here Lies Link" Final Fantasy Characters killed Link? GASP!

In MP3,it says "Wii is awesome" when it has the random data flow in the beginning.

hyperboy  - 6 months 22 days ago

for a village. i thought the sonic one was gonna be a screamer or the first one.

Thank god. No screamer. But another one about halo 3. Who could ever forget the backwards auido files when you would look at a terminal! There classic, and anyone can hear 'em. Oh, BTW, where is the optimus prime door.
midgiemelendez  - 5 months 20 days ago 
maybe the halo 3 thing said "CHANGE" huh? Obama, change we can believe in
(or something like that)

Don't put the subtitles under the audio clips! It enhances pareidolia.

lol, Real mature GTA XD
Funny though - I've palyed AC a hell of a lot of times and I never came across a door like that; or I just didn't notice it, better go play it again just for shits and giggles

also, could've sworn it says CAR in the Bungie logo, everything else doesn't look remotely close to letters
