* The Prima strategy guide for the Gamecube remake of ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' updated the information for the bonus missions and unlockables, but the information for the connectivity feature of the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance was incorrect. Instead of having information on the Tiny Chao Garden, the guide instead discusses an "Adventure Walk," which did not appear in the released versions of the handheld games.

* While they've gotten ''slightly'' better about this, Prima guides tended to be full of errors, particularly their ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'' (UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube) guide, which has ''tons'' of misplaced screenshots and incorrect dates and times. Their ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'' and ''VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards'' guides aren't even ''finished,'' ending before they can tell you how to fight the final boss (and in the case of ''Crystal Shards'', claiming that the EldritchAbomination TrueFinalBoss is a "friendly inhabitant of Shiver Star", among other bits of weirdness). Their guide to ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' completely lacks a walkthrough for the Gerudo Training Grounds and only gives general hints for Ganon's Castle. The guide for ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII'' doesn't even cover the full main quest, much less the side quests and {{Superboss}}es.
