History Trivia / SteinsGate

* TheOtherDarrin: Mayuri's English dub actress, Creator/AshlyBurch, ended up having to leave the broadcast dub of ''Steins;Gate 0'' midway through its production due to scheduling conflicts. She was replaced by Creator/MeganShipman, who for her part does a damn good impression.

* SignificantDoubleCasting: [[spoiler:Suzuha and Yuki]] share the same voice actress. Gee, I wonder why that could be?

* AwesomeDearBoy + PlayingAgainstType : Creator/KanaHanazawa openly stated that she was happy to be in the cast, as it's uncommon for her to lend her voice in a serious work.

* TheWikiRule: [[http://steins-gate.wikia.com/wiki/Steins;gate_Wiki The Steins;Gate Wiki]] and [[https://science-adventure.fandom.com/wiki/Science_Adventure_Wiki Science Adventure Wiki]].

* ParallelPornTitle: ''[[Main/{{Cosplay}} Layers]];Gate''[[note]]For the curious, 'layer' is Japanese slang for cosplayer[[/note]], produced by Total Media Agency, which starred Goro Tameike as Okabe. It was eventually recalled due to [[ScrewedByTheLawyers an angry letter by S;G's devs]]. Hilariously, they had the audacity to take scenes from the anime and green screen the actors onto it.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Seeing that the game is set in the year [[TheNewTens 2010]], it had to be this, similar to how ''VisualNovel/ChaosHead'' is to Main/TheNoughties[[note]]2009, to be exact[[/note]]. There are many examples that support this trope, most prominently the fact that the Phone Trigger system uses Flip phones and E-mails instead of smartphones and Chat applications (which became [[TechnologyMarchesOn the norm of mobile phone communications]] since the mid-2010s). This is why the Phone Trigger system was replaced with the [[BlandNameProduct RINE]] Trigger system[[note]]based on the LINE chat app[[/note]] in the [[VisualNovel/SteinsGateZero sequel]].

* CashCowFranchise: To date, ''Steins;Gate'' has been ported to ''nearly every possible gaming platform in existence since the 7th Generation.'' The only exceptions would be {{UsefulNotes/Wii}} and UsefulNotes/WiiU. That's not even counting the spin-offs, sequels, prequels, anime, soundtracks, drama [=CDs=], other miscellaneous material, and whatnot. "Milking it" would be an understatement at this point. Taken UpToEleven during this title's 10th Anniversary in 2019, where it was announced that the there will be ''10'' new projects for it, which was originally an April Fools joke! In comparison, ''Chaos;Head'' only had small "Happy Anniversary" stuff for their 10th Anniversary.

** Makise Kurisu's institution in America, Victor Chondria University, is modeled on real world Columbia University. This is seen in depictions of the campus and the university ID card in the manga adaptation of ''Epigraph of the Closed Curve''.

** Many of the locations in the series are based on actual places in Akihabara. Highlights includes ''[=MayQueen=] [=NyanNyan=]'' which is based on the ''Mai-lish'' maid cafe and The Future Gadget lab itself, which is based on an actual shop, if you go by the address that Okabe mentioned in the beginning of the game. Amusingly, there is an HDTV store in the same location where Braun TV should be.
