** Hideo Kojima has [[Twitter|tweeted]], repeatedly, on the topic of [[Ho Yay|Solid Snake/Gray Fox]], referring to Snake as "''Frank no ai''/Frank's love" ([[Bury Your Gays|translated as "lovely" for the English twitter feed]]) and also calling Frank a 'pervy masochist' who wants to get beaten up by him out of love. This was certainly [[Subtext]] in the original game, but seeing it confirmed so readily was unprecedented. |

** When ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 3'' came out, fans suggested that the area it's set in, Tselinoyarsk, might have become the Zanzibar Land fortress of ''[[Metal Gear]] 2'' due to its [[Ruritania|similar proximity]], and reasonably similar geography. This was eventually confirmed in the ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 4'' novelisation. |

* In ''[[Cave Story]]'', it's stated once that the player character's hat has something written on it, but what this writing says is never revealed. When concept art of the [[What Could Have Been|beta version]] was released, fans noted that the protagonist's hat said "Curly Brace"--which was the character's name at that point in development. While, in the finished game the protagonist's name is something different--and Curly Brace is instead the name of an important [[Guest Star Party Member]]--fans insisted that his hat still said "Curly Brace" in the finished game. Daisuke Amaya eventually gave his blessing to that particular theory. |
