Sakurai and his team were already working on the Byleth DLC before Fire Emblem: Three Houses was even released. The game director had to work with an early developer's build of the game, which he said took quite a long time to finish. This early build was in fact so Top Secret Sakurai couldn't even been seen playing it and he was even forbidden from taking it to his house.

Attachment According to an interview with Toby Fox conducted by Nintendo of Japan, Sweet, Cap'n, and K_K were originally meant to be a single character. However, when concept artist Nelnal sent in three potential designs, Fox ended up enjoying them all so much that he reworked the character into a trio.

Attachment Ryo Horikawa (voice of Captain Falcon) revealed that when he was asked to record lines for the Min Min reveal trailer, he thought he was going to re-record alot of Captain Falcon’s lines in game. However, because Captain Falcon’s voice lines have been reused since Super Smash Bros. on the Nintendo 64, he was brought in to simply record ramen slurping sounds for the trailer.

According to the game's producer Yoshinori Ono, the team considered putting Master Chief from Halo or Marcus Fenix from Gears of War as guest characters for the Xbox 360 version but they couldn't be added in the end. He stated:

"We do have the exclusive characters for the Sony platform. We have Cole, the two Sony cats, Kuro and Toro. But basically for the Xbox 360, we were in discussions with them (Microsoft) for which character to put in as an exclusive, but we weren't able to decide on a character because of differences in timing and things like that".

"In terms of characters we wish we could have put in the game, Master Chief or Marcus Fenix from Gears of War would have been really cool, but it was just really difficult,".

Attachment In the end credits of the Japanese release, three additional images with captions underneath them are shown during the montage of official artwork. These images appear to be drawings and fan mail sent by young Japanese fans to Capcom that influenced the game's development:

• The first image shown in the credits, submitted by 14-year-old Masahiro Onuma from Osaka, reads:

"Kobun Mole
It comes out of the land on the ground, and comes out of anywhere in the cave. You can hit the body with a drill and crush the scattered soil and stones!"

This drawing appears to be the first design for the Servbot Borer that was later simplified for the final game and later modified again in Mega Man Legends 2.

• The second image, submitted by 11-year-old Takumi Miyayoshi from the Ishikawa Prefecture, reads:

"Kobun's Bomb
Dummy dolls are passing one after another from right to left. (It's a bomb)"

This drawing may be the first design for the Servbot training minigame in the Gym, where a Servbot has to dodge and catch bombs volleyed at it by two other Servbots and then throw them back at targets behind them.

• The third image, submitted by 10-year-old Masashi Kaga from Tokyo, reads:

"Bonne Rocket Bazooka
There is a roller under the trigger, so you can move while doing something!!"

This drawing appears to be the first design for the Bonne Bazooka, a weapon used by the Gustaff that can be developed by Servbot #31 after he obtains his skill and the Pipe from the Nakkai Ruins.

The text featured on the fan drawings themselves have been left untranslated in this submission as the pictures were scaled down to fit in the credits and thus appear smaller, grainier and more difficult to read.

Pixar were heavily involved in the creation of the Toy Box and Monstropolis worlds based on their properties. They collaborated with with Square Enix on the story, character design, and look of the worlds among other things and helped to design the Infinity Badge Keyblade. They even negotiated to have the story of Toy Box be set between Toy Story 2 & Toy Story 3. This went so far as to have Pixar suggest Andy's Room have the Starfield wallpaper instead of the iconic Cloud wallpaper, so the area can be chronologically accurate to the film series.

In a tweet posted shortly after Chapter 1's release, Toby Fox credited Kantonytes' work as a key inspiration for the game as a whole.

Despite being fully localized in English, the game was not released outside of Asia. According to a Dead or Alive community manager on Facebook, this was related to the West's concerns over women in the video game industry.

Do you know many issues happening in video game industry with regard to how to treat female in video game industry? We do not want to talk those things here. But certainly we have gone through in last year or two to come to our decision. Thank you.

Hotaru was originally named Ayumi, was originally going to have a bolder design. That changed when the SNK staff wanted to start adding cute "moe" characters into their games.

“Around the time Garou was in development, the term “moe” started to be used. We thought, “We want to add in moe, but what is moe?!” and had a lot of trouble with it. Thankfully, some staff were familiar, and Hotaru was created with the teachings of those staff members.”

Attachment Early designs of Rock Howard show that he was originally planned to wear Terry's hat. That idea was likely abandoned when a manga artist who worked at SNK suggested designing Rock's outfit based on the jacket he would wear to work. The game's artist, Nobuyuki Kuroki, liked the idea and implemented that into Rock's final design.
