You know, I was stumped by the same puzzle in Zelda Phantom Hourglass as well. I spent almost an hour trying to figure out if I missed a item somewhere in the dungeon or something... Finally I just took it to my Mom because she loves these sort of puzzles... She looked me in the eye after I explained the puzzle and asked, "Really?" like I had just asked her something incredibly obvious, and then made a big show about closing my DS and opening it back up. The moral of the story is that sometimes it is a good idea to go to a non-gamer to ask for help with games.

Actually, the part you mentioned for MGS2 was even double- meta for people who are aware of the latin names of the human intestines. The rooms you pass through are all named after parts of your gut (Jejunum, Ileum, Colon, etc.). We don't have to discuss however where the boss fight did take place, have we? P.S. Never noticed though, that Max was literally "framed" for murder in this game :D

Epic Battle Fantasy 5. - The final boss directly threatens the player. - The secret areas are glitched parts of the game memory. - The main party at the end watches and comments on their own futures after the ending slides.

Fun fact, the MGS2 fourth wall break is actually a reference to a fourth wall break in one of the MSX2 Metal Gear games, where Big Boss attempts the same thing on Snake... Except it's not a simulation or an AI, it's the real Big Boss.

One I particularly enjoyed is in Divinity: Original Sin (the first one). Somewhere in the game there's a part where someone offers to tell you your future. If you ask them 'Show me how it all ends', the end credits of the game start playing.

Ellen: *Wears a Nier Automata shirt in a video about weirdly meta video games* Also Ellen: *Doesn't mention Nier Automata even once in said video*

Anyone else disappointed that when they cut to Ellen at the start of the Phantom Hourglass portion she did not have a bit of blood dribbling down her chin?

This brings to mind the game Ar No Surge: Ode to an Unborn Star, which continually references the fact that the male lead is 'not acting like himself' and 'it's like he's being controlled by an outside force'. The outside force in question being, of course, the player. And if you get the true end, two of the characters talk to you directly, saying that they hope you can meet in the 'real world'.

Max, in the same drug trip also realizes he's in a graphic novel.

Ooooh, I love Oxenfree. You think you saved everyone, but nope. Endless loop.

MARVEL v CAPCOM 3, isn't the first time Wade has used the health bar as weapon in games. If you ever played enough of MARVEL's AVENGERS ALLIANCE on Facebook and bought him, that was one of his attacks he would hit you with.

I remember that one from Phantom Hourglass. Little 10 year old me tried drawing that crest on the map, and then sailing to it, then i couldn't catch the treasure, so i sailed back to the temple and got to the map again, only to end up frustrated and closing my DS out of anger, then opening it a little later to see that it had transferred. I was in major shock.

There was a moment in one of the Skylanders games, the one with Kaos’s mom, during her boss fight she disappeared and Eon’s voice said “only a portal master can find her” and my brother and I (we were both playing) were confused until I saw the portal light flicker and removed our Skylanders from the portal. There she was!

One game I always thought was amusingly meta was, "The Bards Tale - Resnarkled" on PC. The narrator can talk and insult you. Bard hears the Narrator and interacts with him You hear Bard and Narrator, but the Bard can't hear you.. So basically, the Narrator tells yo how to play, the bard hears about using mouses and key thingies, and thinks the Narrator has lost it... "Oh, it's bad luck, to be you...." Awesome RPG :)

There's also that one mission in The Witcher 3 Blood and Wine. You know, the one where Roach can speak and Geralt asks why she appears out of nowhere when he whistles, but will get caught on fence posts and stuff. It was shockingly meta for a game that really doesn't break character

Fun Fact about Phantom Hourglass, I played the game on a 2DS so I didn't get this moment because I had to Google and just activate Standby-Mode

Upon completing the campaign in Assault Android Cactus you unlock the main antagonist Liquorice, as a playable character. After doing that go to the Collider level where you fight Liquorice and you'll get a very meta conversation.

A few more: The World Ends With You also did the "put in sleep mode to progress" thing with post-game content. One Pig Noise you encountered was asleep and would run away if you hit it with any attack. See, *it* was asleep, so to beat it, you had to put the game to sleep by closing the DS. Then there was Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. Not everyone's cup of tea, I know, but the titular character *knows* he's in a video game and the whole game is about his quest to not get permanently killed off in the "latest" installment of his game series. The final level is even an assault at the video game studio "producing" his latest game. Not even sure it had a fourth wall, honestly.

Whoa, that bit at the end was so meta.

That 'DS Stamping thing'... I encountered that trick for the first time while playing a game called something like "Trace Memory"... I was stumped on that puzzle for days... till one day, I was staring at it trying to figure out how the hell I was supposed to operate it, & I got called to do a favor & I closed it into Sleep Mode to protect it till my return... I returned to find the Puzzle half solved. I stared at it wondering what the hell coulda caused it while I was away till I realized... closing the DS then reopening it was the only thing that coulda happened, so I closed & reopened it again to a solved Puzzle. My mind was blown that the DS was capable of such a fancy schmancy trick...

You brought MGS2 and that brought back memories of MG4 when you return to Shadow Moses. You reach a point where Otacon calls you, telling you to load the 2nd disc only to remember you are now using a blueray disc. I was surprised when that conversation came up but laughed soon after.
