Self-Deprecation: Difference between revisions

* An optional area in ''[[Epic Battle Fantasy]] 5'' lets you fight monsters from earlier games in the series as a bonus challenge. As expected, monsters from games that were made years earlier look dated and somewhat primitive in design, and the main characters make scathing comments about them during battle. NoLegs' very simplistic early design, eyeball monsters barely having moving parts at all and the Beholder's infamous tentacle rape attack get the most criticism.

* One of the most notoriously bad cases of box art in video game history was what they came up with for the original ''[[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]]''; the guy on the cover looked more like someone's drunk grandfather in an ill-fitting jumpsuit than the cute robot protagonist, and had a [[Ray Gun]] rather than Mega Man's now-famous [[Arm Cannon]]. (The art was reportedly a rush job for the American release.) Eventually, Capcom would make light of this eyesore by introducing a [[Joke Character]] modeled after it in ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken]]'', calling him [https://megaman.fandom.com/wiki/Bad_Box_Art_Mega_Man Bad Box Art Mega Man]. Unfortunately, this wound up releasing ''after'' Capcom canceled several ''Mega Man'' projects, making his inclusion come off as more spiteful than funny for a lot of the franchise's fanbase.
