Attachment The initial release of the arcade version features unused character biographies for the game's playable cast. These biographies are facetious in nature, for instance claiming that Shinnok was an ex-model for the Bicycle brand of playing cards and that Scorpion's mission in life is to scold a friend for punching him when he was a child. The joking nature of these biographies likely contributed to their disabling in the original build and outright removal from the game's code in subsequent updates. Examining the biographies through hacking the game shows that two of them are unfinished. Fujin is referred to as "Windgod" and Noob Saibot's biography is mostly recycled from Raiden's, with the only original portion being the cut-off opening line.

Attachment JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future was originally released as JoJo's Venture in December 1998. This version suffered from a rushed development, reflected by the abundance of unused assets in its code, including both finished and unfinished sprites for various attacks, cutscenes, and HUD elements. An updated version would come out eight months later, this time using the series' full title and adding the Heritage for the Future subtitle. A significant chunk of the unused assets in JoJo's Venture would be polished up and incorporated in this newer version.

Attachment Both the NES and Famicom saw official releases in British Hong Kong, but the region received the NES first despite it being a later hardware revision of the Famicom. Because of this, the Hong Konger Famicom was itself marketed as an upgraded model despite the opposite being true. A switch was also added to the back of the system that toggles the Famicom's output between PAL 50Hz and PAL 60Hz outputs.

Attachment Popular conceptions about Nintendo's release history in Europe claim that their hardware was never released in the former Eastern Bloc until the 21st century. Rather, these countries instead saw the proliferation of various clone consoles called "Famiclones", such as the Dendy (a Taiwanese-built bootleg that achieved widespread popularity in the Commonwealth of Independent States, made up of the ex-republics of the former Soviet Union) and the Pegasus (which became as popular in Poland as the Dendy did in Eastern Europe). However, while Famiclones did indeed dominate the Eastern European gaming market during the 1990s, Nintendo was not only aware of this, but actively attempted to halt the spread of bootlegs in these regions in favor of officially sanctioned products.

In 1994, Nintendo made a deal with Steepler, the Dendy's distributor in Eastern Europe, to permit continued sale of the Dendy in exchange for equal distribution of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy in the Commonwealth of Independent States; official Russian releases of these systems even included Dendy stickers on the packaging to reflect the arrangement. Meanwhile, in various other parts of the former Eastern Bloc, Nintendo made deals with other third-party distributors; among others, the NES, SNES, and Game Boy saw official releases in Poland, Hungary, and the former territories of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia during 1993–1994.

Attachment In World 8, it's possible to bypass almost the entire battleship level by dropping into the water and swimming beneath the ship, jumping back on once the autoscroll reaches the vessel's stern. In the international version of the original NES release, one tile is removed from the rightmost portion of the ship in order to make the final jump easier.

The Japanese PlayStation 3 version of the game contained an exclusive pre-order bonus: an issue of the magazine "Hot Dog Press" with Kiryu Kazuma and Majima Goro on the cover. Of the contents in the magazine, it reveals some minor details about the character Akira Nishikiyama including the following:

• He works for a rehabilitation program providing an honest living to yakuza members, as well as scouting for hostesses and addressing restaurant troubles.
• He spends an hour washing his hair each day.
• He often uses his Tojo Clan pin to get out of paying parking tickets.

Attachment In the original release of the game, attempting to quit during the scene where Spoiler:the player character walks in on the aftermath of Sayori's suicide would open a modified version of the exit prompt. The text in this version of the window is heavily distorted, and a rapidly flashing GIF portrait of Sayori appears in the leftmost region. This Easter egg was removed in the Version 1.1.1 update due to concerns that audiences would interpret this as the game mocking them for feeling distressed at Spoiler:a realistic depiction of suicide; another likely factor for its removal is the risk that the flashing could pose to epileptic or photosensitive players. Despite this, the prompt's assets are still present in the game's files.

Nicktoons Racing (2000)

The arcade release of Nicktoons Racing is a modified version of the PC release running on a Windows XP computer bolted into the cabinet. Some modifications are made for the arcade setting, such as a selectable time limit, but the biggest changes are the omissions of the game's opening cutscene, Stimpy from The Ren & Stimpy Show as a racer, and the Gritty Kitty item from that series. While the Race Madness track also based on the series remains in the arcade version of the game, Stimpy and the Gritty Kitty item were most likely removed due to it releasing in 2003, the same year as the adult-oriented Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon reboot. The opening cutscene appears to have been removed due to it requiring Windows Media Player, but may have also been removed due to difficulty in editing Ren & Stimpy elements out of the opening cutscene. The removed content is still within the files, and simply disabled.

Attachment If the game detects that it is running a pirated/cracked copy, Jack Joyce will spawn wearing a pirate's eyepatch as a jab to players who pirated the game. This tactic was previously used in Alan Wake, but for the PC version of Quantum Break, it came with a glitch where the piracy detection can accidentally trigger on purchased copies of the game if the player launches it after logging out of the Windows Store. When it was reported to Remedy Entertainment on their community forum, they recommended players to log into their Microsoft account before starting the game, or to "Reboot the game and eat a lot of vitamin C."

In 1990s-era marketing for The Simpsons, Bart was consistently seen wearing light blue shirts in place of the orange shirt seen in the series, a still-unexplained phenomenon that has been referenced within the show itself. This element of marketing was reflected in many of the show's tie-in games, often with inconsistent shirt colors between a single game:

• The Simpsons Arcade Game features Bart in his light blue shirt for a majority of the game. However, in the opening, Bart can be seen wearing a red shirt for a brief moment when he jumps out of the school building.
• Most versions of The Simpsons: Bart vs. The Space Mutants depict Bart wearing a red shirt, a slight difference from orange. The Amiga, Atari ST, and Amstrad versions, however, depict him wearing light blue in gameplay, though the red can still be seen on the title screen, cutscenes, and box art.
• Bart wears a show-faithful orange in all versions of The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World. However, the sliding puzzle minigame in the NES version features an image of Bart with the light blue shirt, based on the famous "Don't have a cow, man!" t-shirt.
• The Simpsons: Bart's Nightmare primarily uses Bart's orange shirt. However, the title card shows Bart with a green shirt, and the Bartman minigame has Bart wear a bluish grey shirt, Bartman being assigned the blue shirt while regular Bart wears red or orange becomes a common theme from this point.
• The Simpsons: Bart Meets Radioactive Man is primarily a blue shirt game. However, in the intro, Bart begins with his orange shirt, which becomes a blue shirt when he dons the Bartman mask.
• Virtual Bart, while typically showing alternate universe Barts, shows Bart with an orange shirt whenever he is in his original outfit. However, the box art shows Bart wearing blue.
• The Simpsons: Night of the Living - Treehouse of Horror primarily features the orange shirt Bart, but he wears a blue shirt briefly in the intro.
• The Simpsons: Hit & Run is entirely an orange shirt game, but Bart can be seen with a dark blue shirt on the box art.
• In The Simpsons: Tapped Out, the most recent Simpsons video game, Bart wears an orange shirt, but Bartman wears a blue shirt.

The Simpsons: Bart's House of Weirdness, The Simpsons: Virtual Springfield, The Simpsons Bowling, The Simpsons Wrestling, and all versions of The Simpsons: Road Rage and The Simpsons Game all feature Bart wearing only orange shirts (even when Bartman appears), while The Simpsons: Cartoon Studio is the only game where Bart only wears blue shirts. Cartoon Studio was the final game to primarily use blue shirt Bart, while The Simpsons: Bart's House of Weirdness was the first game to not have any blue shirt Bart whatsoever. The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Juggernauts and The Simpsons: Escape from Camp Deadly depict blue and red shirt Bart respectively on their box arts, but do not have color, being Game Boy games.
