Galactic Taz Ball was originally going to feature the classic design of Taz instead of The Looney Tunes Show design. Despite this, the plot of the game still has Taz living on an island like in the original Looney Tunes shorts instead of being a domesticated house pet.

Unusually, Taz's preliminary model exists in the files of Shrek: Ogres and Dronkeys, another WayForward game released 3 years earlier.

A Nintendo DS port of Tornado Outbreak, initially titled Tornado Alley DS, was in development from February to July 29, 2008 in collaboration with WayForward and Warner Bros. Interactive. Although this port was cancelled early on, it would suffer an identity crisis as its assets would be reused for the development of other projects. It first became an unreleased Looney Tunes game called "TAZ: The Disaster Master", before becoming the basis for a Crash Bandicoot prototype called "Crash Landed", until it was finally retooled into another Looney Tunes game that did see a release, Galactic Taz Ball.
