Attachment The Pokemon, Ditto, was meant to be a possible helper when a Pokeball was thrown. He was supposed to transform into the player that threw the ball and would help fight. However, there were problems with its programming and it was removed. By using an action replay, Ditto can be put back into the game, but he is lacking his "transform" ability. Instead, all it does is say "Meta!" (it's Japanese name being Metamon) and disappears. Anyone who runs into it is dealt 7-8% damage.

Attachment The original idea for the game was to replace Chell with a new protagonist named Mel. Cave Johnson was to replace GLaDOS as the antagonist, and Mel was going to have many different personality spheres follow her (such as the Adventure Sphere, Betty, and one referred to as the "Morgan Freeman Sphere") instead of just Wheatley. Play testers were up for the idea of Mel until they became disappointed when GLaDOS woke up and didn't recognize the player as the character that defeated her in the first game. Mel was then put in the multiplayer before being scrapped entirely and replaced with Atlas and P-Body.

Pokémon Crystal Version
Pokémon Crystal Version (2000)

Attachment Even though Pokémon Crystal is incompatible with the Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Light, Super Game Boy and Super Game Boy 2, there is an unused Super Game Boy border programmed into the game. This can be seen by setting a flag in the game's RAM to enable the Super Game Boy features. Cheating devices such as the Game Genie can also be used to achieve the same effect temporarily. The border is a leftover from the Japanese version of Pokémon Gold; the design is the same and the text reads Pocket Monsters Gold Version, rather than the English version's title of "Pokémon Gold".

When the player attempts to play the game on a model of the Game Boy prior to the Game Boy Color, the error message "This Game Pak is designed only for use on the Game Boy Color." is output by the game, with the word Crystal spelled out using Unown. There is an unused color palette associated with this message, using an orange tint, which appears when triggering the unused Super Game Boy border.

Attachment The S.T.A.R.S. group photo has an unidentified member on the far left. It is speculated that he is either the predecessor of Rebecca Chambers or an early concept of Kevin Dooley, an RPD pilot who sometimes helped the S.T.A.R.S. team on their missions. The latter would make sense as there is an RPD helicopter in the background.

In the N64 beta of the game, STARS Bravo Team member Edward Dewey is found missing a right hand, after being attacked by Cerberus dogs. This would explain the severed hand holding a gun that would be found by Joseph Frost in the original Resident Evil.

In the final game he still has both hands as the remake of Resident Evil no longer has Joseph finding a severed hand.

Two of the characters in the game, gun shop owner Robert Kendo, and police officer Marvin Branagh, originally had much larger parts in Resident Evil 1.5, with Robert Kendo (Originally named "John") helping Elza Walker out and Marvin accompanying Leon and Ada throughout his story. At one point in 1.5, it appears that Marvin, rather than Sherry in the final game, is infected with a virus and the player has to get him a cure.

In the final game, both die fairly early on, and the player even has to kill a zombified Marvin in their character's "A" scenario.

The Two Thrones started out as "The Kindred Blades". It had the same dark tone as Warrior Within, a different model for the dark prince, and some changes to the story (Spoiler:such as Kaileena unleashing the Sands of Time by killing herself in order to save the Prince, instead of being killed by the Vizier for him to gain god-like powers).

Attachment The Illusive Man was first intended to turn into a Reaper creature in Mass Effect 3. This plan was later scrapped as the developers wanted to give players the satisfaction of fighting a character they knew rather than a random creature, highlighting the fact that the Illusive Man's weapon is his intelligence, not his physical strength.

Using an Action Replay code, it's possible to actually walk around E. Gadd's lab. There are two doors, one of which says "Training" that most likely went to the Training room, and one that likely went to the Ghost Portrificationizer room. There is also a functional ladder, but it doesn't lead anywhere. This suggests that in an earlier version of the game the player could travel to E.Gadd's lab by means of a ladder somewhere in the mansion.
