The Hello Kitty Game Boy Camera appeared to have been scrapped fairly late into its development. In addition to how fleshed out it is even when compared with the simpler released The Legend of Zelda edition, the Nintendo 64DD features a unique header for it, POCKETCAMERA_SN, in code designed to check if a Game Boy Camera is plugged in. Additionally, although the device was shelved, at least two songs from it were reused in the Mobile Trainer, a Japan-only peripheral which allowed online multiplayer on select Game Boy Color games via a cell phone connection.

The unlockable end credits of the Game Boy Camera samples the Twinkle Elementary School theme music from Mother, better known as the Your Name, Please? theme in its internationally released sequel, EarthBound. The director of the Game Boy Camera, Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka, had previously composed the soundtracks for both games.

These faces are also shown without the caption when the system encounters an error such as attempting to print without having the printer connected.
