After Night Trap proved to be a highly controversial title, designer Rob Fulop wanted to counteract the game's bad press (partially in a tongue-in-cheek way) by making the "cutest" and most "sissy" game imaginable. After talking to a mall Santa Claus impersonator about what children want most for Christmas, he conceived the concept of Dogz: Your Virtual Pets, and in turn, the Petz franchise.

Attachment In Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, the relics only appear as 2D images. However, complete 3D models can be found for all of them inside the game, including three variants of the N. Sanely Perfect relic that seem to be tiered (one being a skull, another being a skull with crossbones, and the last being a skull with crossbones; wings; horns; and a more menacing face which is closer to the final N. Sanely Perfect Relic aside from the wings), all with their own animations.

Attachment Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury has data for an unused Giga Mushroom, which resembles the Mega Mushroom but with a red-yellow color palette and an angry expression with a cross-popping vein, a common anime trope used for anger. It has seven animations, but each one contains no data. Touching it plays the "item into inventory" sound. If Mario touches it, he will become Mega Mario, and if Mega Mario touches it he will become Giga Cat Mario, suggesting it would have been used for Bowser's Fury.

The Nintendo 64 version of Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers uses a midi version of the original Windows/Dreamcast soundtrack. However, these MIDI downgrades have many errors, such as missing or overly quiet instruments, instrument samples that are in the wrong key for the sequences, and background instruments being played too loud.

The Atari 2600 version of Klax - also the final official release of the Atari 2600's lifespan, releasing in 1990 - was planned for release in the US, as proven by the existence of at least 9 NTSC prototypes using the final ROM, but only came out in PAL regions, likely due to the 2600's waning popularity going into the 1990s.

Attachment The Virtual Console versions of Mario's Super Picross replace three puzzles, likely due to legal issues:

• The likeness of Marilyn Monroe, which was replaced by a tortoise.
• A set of Tetrominos from Tetris, which was replaced by a hermit crab.
• The painting The Scream by Edvard Munch, which was replaced by a chameleon.

Despite The Scream and Monroe's likeness entering the public domain in 2015 and 2012 respectively, the Wii U; New 3DS; and Switch versions of the game keep the replaced puzzles.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (2005)
▲
1
▼
In a 2005 interview with the game's producer Koji Igarashi published in the official Konami strategy guide, he chose the theme of "revenge" for this game, because the Belmonts had been seen as the good guys up to that point, and he thought it would be nice to try something other than a moralistic "good triumphs over evil" theme sometime. Another reason why was that Castlevania still had "an excellent world for telling a "dark hero" story", with Alucard being an example of this even though he's still considered somewhat good since he is fighting for the just cause of stopping Dracula. For Castlevania: Curse of Darkness however, he wanted the motivation itself to be impure, so he came up with the theme of revenge, and then he thought it could be a lot more interesting if each side was out for revenge against each other.
