Dead Rising
Dead Rising (2006)

The rights-holder for George Romero's film "Dawn of the Dead" sued Capcom for plagiarism. The lawsuit claimed that Dead Rising ripped off Dawn of the Dead, and listed the following similarities between the two titles:

•Both works are set in a bi-level shopping mall.
•The mall has a gun shop, in which action takes place.
•The mall is located in a rural area with the National Guard patrolling its environs.
•Both works are set in motion by a helicopter that takes the lead characters to a mall besieged by zombies.
•Many of the zombies wear plaid shirts.
•Both works feature a subtext critique of sensationalistic journalism through their use of tough, cynical journalists with short brown hair and leather jackets as a lead male character.
•Both works feature the creative use of items such as propane tanks, chainsaws, and vehicles to kill zombies.
•Both works are a parody of rampant consumerism.
•Both works use music in the mall for comedic effect.
•Dead Rising's use of the word "hell" references the tagline for Dawn of the Dead's release ("When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.").

The suit was dismissed in court.

There is evidence in the code of the arcade version that the two boss characters, Huitzil and Pyron, may have been planned as playable at one stage of development. There is an alternate color scheme for both of the characters that shows up if you are playing a mirror match, both characters are able to be played in Arcade mode though hacking (though Pyron can't fight the final boss due to a bug), both of the characters have their own endings, which are the exact same as their endings in the sequel, "Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge", though in a more unfinished state with the ending text just repeating "A" and the music not playing like it should.

Franchise: F-Zero

▼
F-Zero has several tie-ins with the Star Fox series. The character James McCloud shares the name of Fox's father from Star Fox, and the characters have many other similarities:
•They wear the same outfit.
•Both drive drive ships powered by G-Diffusers that were designed by a company named "Space Dynamics".
•F-Zero's James McCloud also is the squadron leader of a space combat team known as "Galaxy Dogs", a clear parody of Star Fox, and his partner, a man named O'Donnell, is a likely reference to Star Fox's Wolf O'Donnell.
•In F-Zero X, James McCloud even states the he "drives like a sly fox", furthering the connection.

Attachment Fervord records uncovered an unreleased track by "The Jetzons" made around 1984 called "Hard Times", which was found to strongly resemble "Ice Cap Zone" from Sonic the Hedgehog 3. This is likely more than coincidental, seeing as how Brad Buxer was the keyboardist for the Jetzons at the time, and is also credited for working on the soundtrack for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 alongside Michael Jackson.

There are several unused voice clips that suggest that there were going to be more characters in Dragon Universe than there actually are. Notably, Kid Goku's Dragon Universe seemed to have involved him finding a time machine that takes him to the current Dragon Ball Z era, fighting Yamcha, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Piccolo (who he thinks is still King Piccolo), maybe Vegeta, Teen Gohan (who thinks he stole the name from his grandfather) and Broly.

The game's soundtrack was included as one of the pre-order bonuses for the game. However, the header information in the music files indicates that they were encoded by "arsa13", a user responsible for putting up illegal copies of the soundtrack on torrent sites.

This suggests that Ubisoft had downloaded a pirated version of their own soundtrack to publish as a pre-order incentive.
