Trivia / Jet Force Gemini

Go To

  • Completely Different Title: In Japanese, this game was released under the title of Star Twins, a change resulting from concerns that "Jet Force Gemini" might be too difficult to pronounce using Japanese syllables.
  • Descended Creator: Composer Alistair Lindsay and developer Neil Gallagher provided some of the character voices.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • The twins were originally envisioned as Child Soldiers. They were likely changed to young adults to fit the game's subsequent darker premise.
    • The game originally used a far cuter artstyle more in line with the rest of the company's output (think Twelve Tales: Conker 64 or Banjo-Kazooie) before Nintendo asked them to age the characters up (as they were uncomfortable with the idea of two children going on a killing spree).
    • Many players wonder why the Abandoned Space Station had a door that led to nowhere. The reality of the situation was that the Abandoned Space Station was one of the first levels that the developer team had designed and was planned to branch off to a more elaborate section when players reached the basement. As the looming release date approached, the team ran out of time to expand upon this idea and the extra closet space was a casualty of this deadline.
    • A Game Boy Color version, while never officially announced by either Rare or Nintendo, was planned for release before ultimately being cancelled.
