The New-Gen E3 2007 build of the Xbox 360 release revealed that the home console versions were originally meant to have cutscenes fully animated in 3D. A workprint containing these cutscenes shows a mix of finished and unfinished 3D renders and storyboards with placeholder voice acting, with the final game having cutscenes primarily animated in the same 2D digital animation as the show. The Nintendo DS version of the game is the only version that exclusively uses 3D cutscenes.

This build also reveals that the identity of the "sleazy video game producer" featured in Level 5: Mob Rules is Larry Probst, the former CEO of Electronic Arts from 1991-2007. The name is not fully censored in the DS version of the game, where Marge can be heard faintly saying his name under the censor tone in the level's opening cutscene. Probst's name also appears uncensored in the in-game cutscene for the level, where the dialogue is fully intact. In the final retail versions, the name is censored from the game's script when Mayor Quimby says it.
