The Zero Exo Suit can be unlocked by beating the game, which strikingly resembles Zero from the Mega Man X series. Additionally, a giant Zero Mech can be found in Kiichiro Plaza.

The Jill Sandwich Exploration Trial found in Capcom Heroes, which requires Frank to eat a sandwich equipped with the Jill Valentine costume, is a reference to the infamous line said by Barry Burton in Resident Evil, in which he saves Jill from a trap and tells her that "you were almost a Jill Sandwich!"

According to Terence J. Rotolo, the series voice actor for Frank West, he was not asked by Capcom Vancouver to reprise his role for the fourth game due to Dead Rising's asset manager, Trant Lee-Aimes, changing Frank West's character development. Lee-Aimes was asked by fans regarding the lack of Rotolo's involvement within the game, to which he responded in a fan Q&A:


Rotolo shared a Change.org petition made by fans through social media to have him return back for this game, but to no avail.
