Attachment During the run-up to the game's release, SoBe aided the promotion by giving away a number of Oddworld-themed decorated goods, and Oddworld Inhabitants were able to return the favour by replacing a number of Health Up Vendos in the North American version with SoBe vending machines that function the same way. However, this lead to a number of fans thinking that Oddworld Inhabitants had sold out and refused to ever have any association with Oddworld ever again, resulting in them being removed entirely from the PAL versions of Munch's Oddysee. This removal even applied to all the re-releases of the game except for the PC and Switch versions, where the SoBe vending machines are retained in some of the levels.

The North American release of the game was originally announced to be September 11, 2011, but it was pushed forward by 2 days, likely so that it wouldn't coincide with the 10-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks carried out against the United States on that same day.

Spore Creature Keeper was a spin-off game meant to make use of creatures made in its parent game, Spore and it was supposed to release on PC and DS. The gameplay was akin to Nintendogs where the player would pick a pet from the Sporepedia (encyclopedia of Spore creatures both Maxis made and player made) and raise them as a pet. The only footage of this game is a trailer and a few other snippets of gameplay. This game was ultimately canceled despite appearing to be a finished product, even having a EULA which can still be found online.

Meatly's Storage World, while not mocking any game in particular, was created in order to poke fun at the state of indie horror games at the time, even going as far as to call itself a "generic mascot horror game". This includes messages strewn about that don't offer much other than comedy, the main monster (based on TheMeatly's own puppet mascot) being a parody of various antagonists from throughout the genre, and the "Buy Merch" button on the main menu being larger than the "Start" button.

According to developer George Fergan, there was a debate within the team on who should be the villain of the LCD handheld games: some wanted to use Mr. Crumb, while others wanted to use Mr. Crool. In the end, they decided to use both for different versions, with Mr. Crumb being used in the more powerful Tiger 99x version and Mr. Crool being used in the cheap LCD version.

Attachment The Steam version of the game replaces the original disc swap screen with a new graphic depicting the game's box art on a CD. Unusually, the render does not depict a generic CD, but rather depicts a disc made by PolyGram's CD manufacturing plant in North Carolina, as indicated by the silver disc hub and "MADE IN USA" stamp. The latter specifically dates the design to 1991-1992, when the plant slowly rebranded from Philips DuPont Optical to PolyGram Manufacturing and Distribution Centers.

Attachment Kid Klown in Night Mayor World was originally released in Japan as Mickey Mouse III: Yume Fuusen. However, because Capcom held exclusive rights to release games based on Disney properties outside of Japan, Kemco substantially retooled the game for its international localization, replacing the myriad of Disney characters with an original cast and remaking the title screen and cutscenes from scratch.

Attachment The game's data contains sprites depicting Kid Klown and Princess Honey from Kid Klown in Night Mayor World, with them filling the roles of the protagonist and damsel in distress, respectively. This indicates that the game was originally devised as a Kid Klown title before being retooled around the Mickey Mouse, Garfield, and Ghostbusters franchises (depending on the region) midway through development. Ironically, Kid Klown in Night Mayor World was itself a retooled English localization of a Mickey Mouse game.

Attachment Two of the in-game magazines reference the livestreaming group Vinesauce, who previously conducted playthroughs of Hypnospace Outlaw on-stream. The first cover, Metal Masters, depicts both Vinesauce members Vinny and Joel, using pictures from their respective bands Red Vox and Scythelord; Joel's bandmate Frank also appears on the magazine cover. The second cover, NerdMaster, depicts Fren, a crude MS Paint self-portrait that Joel created to mimic the art style of QT, a lighthearted parody of PT. Both Vinny and Joel expressed flattery with the former Easter egg when they discovered it on-stream.

In an interview featured in the 149th issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, the game's director Hideki Kamiya confirmed that Dante's personality was inspired by Cobra from the manga series Space Adventure Cobra, and Joseph Joestar from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, while also saying that no movies in particular inspired the game. He stated:

"There are lots of different kinds of media that influenced this creation. As for the main character Dante, I was strongly influenced by a Japanese comic-book character named Cobra. Cobra is a character who has no fear and talks with lots of irony and provoking looks, even as he faces immense trouble. I always loved this character and his comic. I also referred to a character in another Japanese comic Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure [also a Capcom fighting game]. His name is Joseph Joestar and he's the main hero of the comic's second chapter. He has a very similar personality to Cobra. There are no specific movies that I referred to for DMC."

Attachment The box art for Top Trumps: Doctor Who on the Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2 is misleading, with the logo of Top Trumps, a popular UK card game, being hidden in the corner of the box in place of the corporate logos, making it easy for players to not notice it and therefore mistake the game for a Doctor Who adventure game. This would be remedied for the Wii version of the game.

Attachment In Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back, there is a "Verbosity" slider on the audio options menu that controls how frequently Bubsy will say his one-liners. While most percentages have nicknames such as "Occasional one-liners" or "Silent bobcat", the maximum level is simply called "Bubsy", owing in a self-deprecating manner to Bubsy's reputation as a talkative character, particularly in Bubsy 3D and the 1993 cartoon pilot.
