Interplay wanted to replace all the music in the Genesis and SNES versions with new original tracks. Eric Chahi, the game's designer, requested to at least keep the original intro music to help retain the atmosphere but Interplay wouldn't agree. To express his frustration, Chahi sent them an endless fax with the message "keep the original intro music" in big letters with the ends of the paper taped together to form a loop. Interplay did reconsider however when Delphine posed legal action.

Attachment The character 'The Baz' is based on a scrapped Street Fighter II fighter, and was further developed by a series of events involving Matt and Woolie from the popular YouTube show Two best Friends Play.

"Jefailey and The Baz are in the game based on Keits honoring kickstarter pledges from Matt and myself for The Baz, and Alex Jebailey's pledge for Jefailey. The character that you see here, is the result of my concept submitted to Keits, from his lines, his palette, to the backstory, and his moves, and the entire concept of him being "The Storm" and having electricity based powers and such, etc; which Keits then finalized mechanically for balance. I decided to request him based on the running character gag we had with Fighterpedia.

Fun Fact, the character from the old artbook wasn't even named Zubaz - the katakana next to him said 'Bullfighter'. Zubaz is just the clothing line they used because that design was based on the Legion of Doom from the WWE, and they often wore Zubaz clothing. We just started calling him Zubaz during Fighterpedia and the name stuck with the fans." - Woolie Madden

The claim caused controversy with even the Church of England stating that it would not allow any of its graveyards to be used to advertise the game.

Some of the acts which were picked by entrants were to paint Nintendo logos with their tongue, juggling three consoles whilst dressed as a game character, painting and shaving themselves to be a Pikmin, and eating a GameCube made of spam, chocolate syrup, and cat food.

According to Ryota Niitsuma, producer of Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, this game was released as a stand-alone disk instead of DLC because the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan threw off their development schedule.

Niitsuma: After the release of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 there were plans to release DLC. But, as you know, less than a month after the game was released we had the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. That had an impact on everything, and it threw off our whole development schedule. We decided that instead of doing the DLC we could put it all together in one package, add some additional stuff to make it robust and deliver it as a disc.

The track had soon after caused controversy, prompting the game to be subsequently pulled from store shelves. The chant comes from a sound library collection called "Voice Spectral - Volume 1" released by 'best service'.

Two books were big references in the development of the game. The first book was "The General History of Pyrates," which provided a solid historical foundation for the game to use, as well using a German style of capitalizing all nouns, which Ubisoft used in the game's subtitles. The second book was "The Republic of Pirates," which helped the team establish the hub town, real life Nassau, which was a famous stopping point for pirates. The book's author, Colin Woodard, was so much of a influence that he was asked to join the development team to make the game more accurate.

Most of the Honest Hearts Tribals speak a creole language.

The Dead Horses' language is based on German, English, and Navajo, although the morphology of the Navajo is unrecognizable.

The White Legs speak a combination of languages from tourists and locals in a place called Res.

The Sorrows language seems to be a combination of broken English, German, Spanish, and hints of Japanese.

It is said by Joshua Graham in the Honest Hearts DLC that the .45 Auto pistol is based on a nearly 400-year-old design from one of his Mormon ancestors and is the trademark weapon of the New Canaanite tribe. This alludes to the creator of the real-life pistol this gun is based on, the M1911, created by John Moses Browning. Like the New Canaanites, Browning was a member of the Mormon church from Utah.

Attachment Mafia II holds the Guinness World Record for the "Most "F" Words in a Video Game". The word is mentioned 397 times throughout different instances of the game. The previous placeholder was The House of the Dead: Overkill which featured 200 instances of the word.

However, considering that Mafia II can take roughly 12 hours to beat while The House of the Dead: Overkill takes roughly 4 hours to beat, the latter game technically has a greater concentration of swears in a shorter amount of time than Mafia II.
