Acording to an interview in the Shadow of the Colossus Official Artbook and Guidebook, there were plans to have the ending change If the player had Ico save data on their memory card.
Spoiler:There was also the idea that Momo would have woken up and reunited with Wonder before Lord Emon sealed him away. Wonder would have had an irreversible beast form instead of the demon baby form he has in the final version. This idea was dropped because the development team felt the current ending was better.

Attachment An illustration of a pink & green Klonoa, who wears a cap of Blinky chasing Pac-Man, can be found in the original website for Door to Phantomile around the developers' section. It's possible that it may be related to the scrapped idea of Huepow betraying Klonoa and could be the inspiration for the doppelganger in Shifty Look's "Klonoa: Traveler of Noctis Sol".

Kid Icarus

Attachment At one point there was a planned Kid Icarus game for the Nintendo Wii. However. It featured an adult version of Pit, contained dark elements that were not in the original version of the game, and it was to be developed by game studio Factor 5.

Former Factor 5 staffer Joe Spataro gave some information in an interview.
"With Icarus, I feel like we were missing the point. Nintendo sent us the model of Kid Icarus, very much like the one that appears in Smash Bros., but we didn't use it. We made our own version. It was more mature, maybe even a little dark. It felt more like Devil May Cry. I knew Nintendo would never go for the adult version of Pit. In fact, I'd wager they took it as an insult that we didn't use their version."

Factor 5 later scrapped this version of the game and a new Kid Icarus game, Kid Icarus: Uprising, was released in 2012 for the Nintendo 3DS.
