An unused enemy named "Mr. Friendly" can be found in the Half-Life's data. According to the book "Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar" Mr. Friendly's attacks included knocking Gordon's weapons out of his hand, knocking off Gordon's glasses (making the screen go blurry) and even raping the player. It was created by Ted Backman, and the design was because Ted "decided to go with something that elicits a homophobic response". The in-game texture is also signed by Ted.

It was originally planned for the player to have sex with NPCs in the game, and there is plenty of unused text in the game's code to reflect this. In addition to this, there's text suggesting you were originally able to join the prostitutes guild and turn your character into a prostitute.
There is an unused dungeon, internally labeled "player_dngn", in the code for Phantom Hourglass. Accessible only in the PAL version and only via devices like Action Replay, the dungeon contains four rooms likely used during development to test interactive objects.
Documents about Link's Awakening in the Hyrule Historia show an image with two characters fighting an enemy and a note next to it that reads "What're we gonna do about 1P mode?" suggesting the game was originally multiplayer.

There are a large number of incomplete and test rooms in the code for Wind Waker. Among them, there are even completely functional areas which were simply removed from the final game for various reasons. While not accessible via normal means, they can be accessed via cheat devices like Action Replay.
During beta testing for Ocarina of Time, developers added an Arwing to the game to test enemy AI and Z-Targeting. While it was never actually used in the game, the code was never removed and can still be accessed via devices like GameShark and Action Replay.
There's a hidden credit line in the game's ROM which reads:
(C) 1992 Basement Boys Software
Basement Boys Software were a group famous for making hacking tools on the Commodore 64 in the late 80s, who had some members go on to Chip Level Designs, a company that used to provide sound programming for a number of SNES titles. The same credit appears in Cool Spot.

There's a battle against Professor Oak programmed into the game, but was never included in the final game. It is only accessible by using a Gameshark or glitching the game.
His team consists of: lv.66 Tauros, lv.67 Exeggutor, lv.68 Arcanine, lv.70 Gyarados and the starter Pokémon that neither you or your rival chose at the beginning of the game, fully evolved at lv.69.

There are 3 unused rune Crystals in the game's code:
Shrike crystal: Permanently attached to Kasumi and cannot be removed or obtained otherwise.
Falcon crystal: Same as the Shrike crystal but attached to Valeria.
Flame crystal: Its description reads "Bell's rune". This rune cannot be attached to any characters, and Ronnie Bell already has her own unique rune, the "Hate Rune".

As weapon levels increase, they are also sometimes renamed. Many characters are recruited with weapons already upgraded beyond early level names for their weapons, but these names are still coded into the game.
Viewing these names, we see that Clive's weapons all have a wind theme (Wind, Storm, Tornado) and Warren's weapons are all references to the Norse God Odin, though badly mistranslated. (Slavenil, Gunnigle, Odin)

The graphics of an unused ability are stored in the game in which Kirby appears to be mini, similar to an ability featured in a much later title, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror. Because of the sprites' placement in the game's data, it's speculated that this ability was replaced by the UFO ability.
Due to a glitch preventing North American copies of the game from recording the amount of animals that die on the player's farm, the Witch Princess is not marriageable as intended, as in order to see her first heart event you must have at least 50 animals die.
