Lakitu's Japanese name, 'Jugemu' (ジュゲム); or 'Jugem' as it was romanized in later games of the series, comes from a rakugo folk tale. In the tale, a couple could not think of a suitable name for their newborn baby boy and so the father went to a temple and asked the chief priest to think of a name. The priest suggested several names, but they couldn't decide on one, so they decided to mix all of those names into one, the final result being:

Jugemu-jugemu Gokonosurikire Kaijarisuigyo-no Suigyomatsu Unraimatsu Furaimatsu Kunerutokoroni-sumutokoro Yaburakojino-burakoji Paipopaipo-paiponoshuringan Shuringanno-gurindai Gurindaino-ponpokopino-ponpokonano Chokyumeino-chosuke

Attachment Concept art shows that Yuri Sakazaki originally had a trio of friends designed in order to help flesh out her character, which consisted of a part-time model, a student, and a 10 year old girl who views Yuri as a big sister of sorts. None of them appear in the game, with the idea being dropped during development.

During the development of Art of Fighting 2, the early concept behind Eiji Kisaragi was that of a "Short, Mexican Wrestler type character". Additionally, concept art shows that he originally wore a type of mask used by Samurai warriors to hide both their identities and their emotional state as well as to scare the enemy.

In 2017, Nintendo lost a patent lawsuit with Texas-based tech company iLife Technologies Inc. who claimed that the Wii, Wii Remote, and Wii U infringed on their patents. The suit filed by iLife back in 2013 claimed that Nintendo had infringed on their patents which include devices that "contain systems or methods for body movement detection, body movement evaluation, body movement analysis, receiving body movement signals, analyzing body movement signals, responding to body movement signals, and remotely monitoring body movement signals."
The court decided that Nintendo had breached one of their patents and was ordered to pay iLife $10.1 million, less than what they originally wanted which was $150 million. Nintendo is currently seeking to appeal the decision.

Attachment The Shovel Knight amiibo figure, which is compatible with the Wii U and 3DS versions of the game, is the first amiibo to be able to function whilst still in its packaging, unaltered. This is because it doesn't include the blocking strip which can be found in every other amiibo packaging. Yacht Club Games made this intentional after receiving feedback from fans who wanted to keep it as a collector's item.

The figure is also the first amiibo to be produced not by Nintendo's own manufacturers. The game itself was also the first non-Nintendo developed title to receive its own amiibo.

In an effort to allow people to play the game who couldn't afford it, the game's developers decided to upload a free version of Darkwood onto the website The Pirate Bay to torrent. Instead of offering free Steam keys, they hoped that doing this would also stop key reselling sites from selling the game, and also hoped for gamers to eventually purchase the game once it was discounted on Steam.
