Mission: Impossible
1
The Impossible Mission Force’s (IMF) Agent Organizer includes a Remote Control feature that functions as an actual universal remote, utilizing the Game Boy Color's infrared sensor by detecting a remote's signals, which the handheld receives and then functions as the remote itself.

Additionally, the Notebook entries found under Secret Files in the IMF can be printed out when connected to the Game Boy Printer.
Nioh

During the final stretch of the side mission, "Kanbei and the Overlord", if the player runs to the locked door they can learn the name of the hidden Revenant before the second wave of enemies appears. Its name is Sugitani Zenjubo, a real-life samurai who was captured by daimyo Oda Nobunaga after the Siege of Kanegasaki in 1570 and sentenced to death by beheading. This event is alluded to in the Revenant's dialogue, and in its Blood Grave where it specifically names Nobunaga as the cause of death, the only instance of a Blood Grave with an identified culprit in the game.
Disney Infinity 4.0
subdirectory_arrow_right Disney Infinity (Collection)

Attachment Before the game series was cancelled by Disney, a fourth installment was quite elaborately planned and worked on extensively. The name would've been "Disney Infinity 4.0: Kingdoms" and it would have primarily been based of Disney's animated film Aladdin. It was to be developed by United Front Games who are associated with working on the Marvel expansion of Disney Infinity 3.0 as well as Sleeping Dogs, ModNation Racers, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. It seems the game would have had a feature where characters of unrelated universes (ex. Star Wars, Marvel, Zootopia, etc.) can be played and seen in the Aladdin-based Story mode, which would have been unique to 4.0. (Although it does bare some resemblance to the Toybox Takeover feature in the previous game.) Pre-alpha footage of the game was uploaded to Vimeo in November of 2018 by a throwaway account, revealing the game's existence.
Resident Evil 2

Attachment According to game's director Hideki Kamiya, the Umbrella Corporation can that gets stepped on at the start of the opening cutscene was supposed to have the Capcom logo on it, but when Capcom's management heard about it, they disapproved of the idea of their brand being stepped on, so the developers changed it to the Umbrella logo instead.
World of Warcraft

Samwise Didier, the senior art director for Blizzard Entertainment, drew a paladin for a friend's card game, which was left unused and instead ended up being used for World of Warcraft to create Uther. Didier carried over the paladin's mask to another character he drew, which was the inspiration for Ilidan, who he made concept art for back in 2000. The character Ilidan originally carved his eyes out to allow Demonics to sense demons which allowed him to use demonic energy against them back when he was a protagonist at one point during development.
Grand Theft Auto IV
1
An update released three days before the game's 10th anniversary on April 26th, 2018 added new songs to radio stations, while simultaneously removing songs due to licensing-expiration issues. Among the many song replacements, the Electro-Choc, Fusion, JNR, Massive B, and Tuff Gong radio stations remained untouched, while almost every song featured in the Vladivostok FM station was cut and replaced with new songs with one exception, "Liberty City: The Invasion" by Seryoga, an original song written for the game's soundtrack. These changes also carried over to the Episodes from Liberty City DLC expansions.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

According to voice actor Jacob Craner in an interview with Zelda Universe, he said the inspiration behind his voice of Robbie in the English-language dub was American actor Jack Black's performance in the 2006 film "Tenancious D in the Pick of Destiny", which Craner claimed he was obsessed with when it first came out. In addition, he said that during the audition process Nintendo localizers told him to give the character more of a cliché and stereotypical "nerdy scientist" affliction. However when it came time to record, they changed their minds and instead wanted the character to sound like a "crazy rocker" type of character, thus having Craner lean instead toward his Jack Black impression.
Dead or Alive 5: Last Round
1
In the Japanese version of the game, Honoka and Marie's tag intro shows Honoka requesting to borrow Marie Rose's chest. This is meant to be a pun on both of their different bust sizes and a common Japanese phrase for requesting a sparring partner, believing power is derived from the chest. This interaction was changed in the Western versions to Honoka plainly asking for a practice round.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

When Piranha Plant was revealed as the first DLC character, many fans were bewildered, as a generic enemy has never been a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. series before. Despite this, in an interview with Game Informer, Masahiro Sakurai has stated that he never intended to surprise people with the Piranha Plant, and that it was a character everybody would know of.

"The surprise element quickly fades once the announcement has been made. Rather, I believe it’s important to have a good balance as a game. In the past titles in the series, Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B. and Duck Hunt Dog were some of the examples we offered outside of people’s typical expectations. However, if we don’t have these types of fighters, and we only had typical “hero/heroine” type fighters in the lineup, there’s not much difference. It’s probably not very interesting. Correct? Also, unlike some main characters from some (not widely known) franchises, Piranha Plant is a character everyone knows well."
Cuphead

Attachment According to animator and designer Tina Nawrocki, Baroness Von Bon Bon's design was inspired by Bebe Daniels, Betty Grable, Loretta Young, and Joan Crawford (specifically her appearance in the 1932 film "Letty Lynton"); actresses who were around during the early 20th century, as well as Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France before the French Revolution, whose execution by guillotine inspired the fourth phase of her boss fight where she throws her own head as a projectile towards Cuphead.
Company: XSEED Games
1
Attachment XSEED Games originally went by the name J-Taro, a reference to Momotaro of Japanese folklore. An unnamed industry titan, however, decided that they wouldn't work with a company that had such a ridiculous name. After consulting with various outlets, they decided on the name XSEED Games.

Raoh and Heart are the only characters in the game who cannot crouch and subsequently cannot block low. The game's manual explains that the reason why Raoh does not crouch is because "it's not like a king to kneel."

In Cianwood City, if you have only one Pokemon in your team and it does not know Fly or Surf, a generous Trainer in the island's Pokemon Center will give you a Level 15 Tentacool, claiming to have caught too many and was just about to release it before he noticed your situation. This was added to prevent the player from softlocking the game in Cianwood City by giving the player a Pokemon that can learn the Surf HM in order to leave. Additionally, it is possible for the Tentacool given to you to be Shiny.
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

In 2021, a speedrunner working with a group effort to decompile the game uncovered a cheat code that can turn a 0% save file into a 100% save file, likely used by the game's developers for debug purposes. To use the code, you must first plug in two controllers, turn on the game and create a new save on File 3. It does not matter if there is save data or not on File 1, but File 2 must have no save data. Then reset the game and, using the second controller, hold L when the Nintendo & HAL Laboratory logos appear and press C-Up/C-Up/R/C-Right/C-Left/Start. The 1-Up sound effect will play if done successfully, and File 3 will now hold a 100% save file.

This code can be executed on every release of the game except for the Wii Virtual Console release due to the lack of C-Button mapping for that version.
Dead Rising

A 2009 port of the game for the Wii titled Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop has features that were either changed or added in which are not present in the original Xbox 360 version:

•Upon completing the game, Ending A is the only ending that can be obtained apart from the other endings present in the Xbox 360 version.
•The save feature has been changed to add multiple save slots compared to only one in the Xbox 360 version.
•72 Hour mode and Overtime became one mode altogether, with side missions no longer taking up the main timeframe in the game. 
•A ranking system has been added based on how fast the player completes a mission to unlock new missions and rewards. 
•Two game modes, Odd Jobs and 2nd Amendment, have been added. And unlocking the Real Mega Buster and Laser sword require the player to beat all missions on both game modes with an S rank. 
•More costumes can be unlocked, with the inclusion of both Roll Caskett from Mega Man Legends and Nathan Spencer from Bionic Commando.
•Psychopaths Kent Swanson, Jo Slade, and Cliff Hudson have become zombies while Paul Carson has been omitted from the game entirely. 
•Cletus Samson can be saved in the Wii version unlike the Xbox 360 version, where he gets eaten alive by zombies.  
•The inclusion of zombie parrots and poodles.
•Books and Firearms can no longer be found within the mall and instead are sold to Frank by Cletus. 
•Firearms no longer break upon being used.   
•Zombies drop ammo or money once killed. 
•The Camera feature is absent in the Wii version.
•Phone calls from Otis are answered automatically. 
•Infinity Mode is absent in the Wii version.
•Killing 53,594 zombies unlocks the Apocalypse Frank costume unlike in the Xbox 360 version, which unlocks both the Real Mega Buster and the Zombie Genocider achievement.
•Leisure Park has its area shortened and vehicles can no longer be driven within the park. However, The player can still drive in the maintenance tunnels and must pay a fee to drive a different type of vehicle. 
•Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulties have been added. 
•The option to change blood color to Red, Green, and White has been added. 
•Only 100 zombies appear at a time on screen instead of 800 in the Xbox 360 version. 
•The firearms Frank obtains are the same ones from Resident Evil 4.  
•Juices have their abilities changed to how herbs work in the Resident Evil series. The Blue juice, however, acts as a randomizer that either damages Frank, gives him invincibility, increased speed, health, or turns him into Mega Man from the Mega Man series.
•Frank's fighting skills have been converted to combat events used only when battling psychopaths. 
•The jumping ability has been removed, so Frank can no longer jump to reach higher areas.
•Barricades have been included, making some areas less accessible. 
•Cutscenes have been pre-rendered so Frank's appearance no longer affects the in-game cutscenes. 
•Subtitles have been enlarged to make up for the small lettering found in the Xbox 360 version.  
•Survivors' health bars no longer display their names nor can Frank injure any survivors. 
•PP Stickers are absent in the Wii version.
•Item slots have been moved to the pause menu of the game. However, the player can still cycle between firearms during gameplay.
•Frank can only be assigned one melee weapon in the Wii version unlike in the Xbox 360, where he can carry as many melee weapons as needed.

Furthermore, the Wii was not graphically capable of handling the MT Framework used to develop the game for the Xbox 360, so the game itself was entirely remade from scratch using the engine for the Wii port of Resident Evil 4 after the critical and commercial success of that version.
Purrfect Apawcalypse

Attachment In December 2019, the game was briefly removed from sale on itch.io over trademark infringement. According to itch.io's creator, the site received a takedown notice towards the game due to its page using in the description the phrase "choose your own adventure", a trademark owned by the company Chooseco.
Dead Rising

On the Xbox 360 version of the game, going to the Food Court while playing on Infinity Mode from 4:05:00 to 4:23:59 will freeze the game on the loading screen, rendering both the 5 Day and 7 Day Survivor achievements unobtainable. This glitch was patched in an update for the Xbox One, PS4, and PC remastered ports.

Attachment Beating every ghost in Battle Mode on Nightmare difficulty will unlock a model of Maya dressed as Princess Peach from the Mario series viewable only in Spirit Photography mode.
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir
subdirectory_arrow_right Fatal Frame 2: Wii Edition (Game)

Attachment The Japanese and PAL region releases of Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir have exclusive bonus content that can be accessed after completing Story Mode by scanning an augmented reality marker on the back of the instruction manual to the Wii port of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly, released only in Japan and PAL regions under the name Project Zero 2: Wii Edition. Scanning the marker will unlock models of Mio and Mayu Amakura as they appear in that game to view in Spirit Photography mode. Because the Wii port of Project Zero 2 was never released in North America, these models were made inaccessible in the North American release of Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
1
Using Kombat Kodes (six digit numerical codes in sets of three, specified by Mortal Kombat iconographies) on the VS. character screen before a match, several messages can be conjured on screen when the match has begun. Several of these messages are developer messages and references to other games:

•999-999 = Displays a message indicating what version revision is being played.
•550-550 = Displays the message: "Go see the Mortal Kombat Live Tour!", advertising the 1995 martial arts theatrical stage show of the same name.
•122-221 = Displays the message: "Skunky! - E.F." which assumedly is an inside joke from a developer playing on the "Toasty!" gag by programmer Dan Forden.
•987-666 = Displays the message: "Hold flippers during Casino Run". This is a reference to Jack*Bot, an arcade pinball cabinet produced by Williams Entertainment who has worked with Midway on the home console ports of Mortal Kombat titles.
•004-400 = Displays the message: "Whatcha gun do? - E.B", a joke message from Ed Boon that possibly pokes fun at the fact of Mortal Kombat being a fighting game.

The Sega Saturn release of the game also features two exclusive developer messages:

•200-002 = Displays the message: "It should work!? - P.A.B."
•300-003 = Displays the message: "PUB! - D.K.P."
