The CD-i started out as a CD add-on for the SNES, before being canceled. Before it was canceled, Nintendo gave Phillips the right to make games with their characters, which lead to the creation of three Zelda games, Hotel Mario (along with two canceled Mario games), and a canceled Donkey Kong game.

Early on in the pre-production of "The Tyranny of King Washington" DLC, Conner was going to get a love interest in the form of Aveline de Grandpré from Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. The idea was later dropped when the developers saw how the characters' motivations and personalities were too different from each other.

Attachment There was originally going to be a trash compactor level as seen in the film "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" where the player would've possibly battled the dianoga creature. The level was removed due to the memory limitations of the Super Nintendo cartridge, however a single known screenshot was published in Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) which was taken at the Consumer Electronics Show.

She was even called Wolverine early in the game's development but had her name changed to avoid legal issues with Marvel.

The main character of Saints Row: The Third was originally going to be an undercover cop infiltrating the Saints, and the story was more choice-driven. The idea was scrapped after the first six months of development because the developers didn't think the concept felt like a Saints Row game.

For one reason or another, the song was not used and was instead replaced with "Do You Believe in Magic" by The Lovin' Spoonful.

However, the game was indefinitely postponed, which has led to Asagi being a recurring character in many Nippon Ichi games, usually trying to steal the spot of the main character for herself.

Mega Man
Mega Man (1987)

Attachment During development, it was once planned the original Mega Man game would have eight Robot Masters instead of the final's six. One of these two scrapped Robot Masters was Bond Man, a robot that would have used glue as his main weapon and when acquired by Mega Man, he could temporally hold enemies in place (a gimmick that would later be used by the final game's Ice Slasher).

The PSP remake of Mega Man, "Mega Man: Powered Up" features two additional Robot Masters: Time Man and Oil Man, whom have no connection to Bond Man. There did exist plans to add Bond Man into Powered Up, but this idea was recalled to keep Bond Man's cult status.

Hideo Kojima originally wanted the Beauty and the Beast Corps to be completely naked in the cut scenes. The motion capture actors were even asked to preform the motion capture nude, though this could also not be used in the game. The Beauty and the Beast Corps were, instead, given cat-suits, which could still show off their bodies without affecting the rating.

There are also several unused lines, fully voiced by the game's English cast. Notably, some of these lines hint at scenes removed from the game's Last Story, 2 of which featured the President and his secretary, the latter (as well as Amy) telling the President not to give up hope and a scene that would take place shortly after Finalhazard's defeat, where the President says that, as a child, he admired heroes like Sonic and aspired to be as heroic and beloved as him, with the Secretary offering encouragement.

Another set of lines that would have appeared during the ending credits feature Eggman declaring he'll conquer the world without anyone's help, as well as him and Tails agreeing not to hold back next time they meet.

In an early trailer for the game, there is a scene showing Riku on top of Big Ben in Neverland. This scene does not appear in the final game, nor does Riku ever go to Big Ben in any way. Despite this, it is considered canon as a cutscene in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded shows that this is where Riku and Kairi went after leaving Captain Hook's ship.
