Dead or Alive
1
The very first character developed for the game was a fighter codenamed "Kelly", who was originally cut from the final roster for being incomplete compared to later characters. However, since the team needed one more fighter, they decided to go back and develop a more complete version of Kelly. That character became the final version of Zack.
Jak 3

Attachment After defeating the game's final boss, by using debug controls and using the free camera mode during the game's cutscene, you can actually see Jak & Ashelin Praxis kissing onscreen, rather than cutting to Daxter. Often these scenes would not be fully animated, but the character expressions change where they would usually not be seen.

Dead or Alive: Code Chronos
subdirectory_arrow_right Dead or Alive (Franchise)
1
Attachment A game called Dead or Alive: Code Chronos was in development for the Xbox 360. The game would have been a prequel to the series and would relay the story of Ayane and Kasumi before the first tournament. However, the progress of Code Chronos came to a halt due to Itagaki's dispute with Tecmo. In 2010, the project was then confirmed canceled by the current head of Team Ninja, Yosuke Hayashi.

A promotional image advertising Dead Or Alive 4 featured an ad for Code Chronos in the bottom-right corner.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
1
In an interview with game's producer, Koji Igarashi, found within the game's official Japanese strategy guide, he was asked why he set the game in Japan. He responded:

"Well, I know I keep saying that the protagonist of Aria of Sorrow, Soma Cruz is Japanese, but for the overseas version, we said he was a foreign exchange student living in Japan. That seemed like the best way for westerners to relate to the character, given that Castlevania is very popular in Japan and overseas. That’s why I asked the illustrator Aya Kojima to “draw him like a Japanese person who doesn’t look very Japanese.” And I’ve had people tell me he doesn’t look Japanese to them, so mission accomplished."
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
1
In Japan, the game was originally called 'Dracula 2', but the game's creator and director, Hitoshi Akamatsu, thought of the title 'Simon's Quest' for the game's release in Western regions.

House Party

Attachment One of Lety's ambient dialogue is a reference to the science-fiction series Doctor Who. When talking to an NPC she might say "Soooo .... anyone check out my bag? It's very colorful, and kinda has a whole Doctor Who thing going on where it's bigger on the inside! Very video-gamey, the more I think about it ..." alluding to the the spaceship the TARDIS which is dimensionally transcendental, meaning it's bigger on the inside than on the outside.
River City Girls

The description for the item reads, "Cvstodia remembers with admiration the name of Vitas Varnas. He inspired the lives of his people through his altruistic actions as well as his inspirational words."

In 2002, this game gained controversy after teenagers in San Diego noticed some of the videos involved attractive nurses with syringes, as well as alcoholic drinks, which was seen as promoting drug and alcohol abuse.
Dance Dance Revolution Solo 2000
1
Attachment Unused graphics in the data suggest this game could have been brought to European countries under the name "Dancing Stage Solo". It is unknown why this version was not released.
Dance Dance Revolution Solo 2000

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
1
Attachment While battle damage is used for Little Mac, data suggests that other characters were planned to have similar effects. This can be seen in unused textures for R.O.B. in the game's data which seem to show battle damage. This is a remnant to Super Smash Bros. Brawl in which characters were also planned to have battle damage, but were left out.
MediEvil

In all versions of the game, there's an unused message that reads:

"Buzby sucks eggs, and Eastwood smells!"

According to the game's lead artist 'Jason Wilson', this is meant for one of the game's main programmers 'James Busby' as an inside joke. Later, it was revealed to be true by 'Chris Sorrell' in the RETRO Vol. 8 interview.
Street Fighter X Tekken

Cole, Toro and Kuro all have continue animations for the Arcade Mode in the PlayStation 3 version of the game. Because neither of these characters are playable in this mode, these animations go unused.
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone DX
1
Within the game's files is code for a 6th difficulty that goes unused. It would've been called Encore, and "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku" is the only song that has a fully completed chart for it. Encore would've been the hardest difficulty in the game, as it would've contained it's own unique notes in the form of randomization. Meaning that the notes (Triangle, Square, Circle, and X) would be different each time the song is played. The only exception to this would've been if the player chose to retry the song.

The character Jeffry McWild was modeled after real life martial artist Willie Williams. At some point in development, Jeffry was planned to be named Willie but his name was later changed due to copyright concerns.
