Attachment During early development the team had the idea of the game's story being centered around an abandoned island that had been purchased to host a tournament featuring fighters of all different styles. This early draft of the story is reminescent of the 1973 film Enter the Dragon.

During the early development of Street Fighter II, many characters had placeholder names until they were given proper ones:
•Zangief was referred to as “Vodka Gorbavsky".
•Chun-Li was named "Chinese Girl"
•Blanka was called "beast"
•M.Bison (Dictador) was named Washizaki (鷲崎 "Eagle Cape"), likely a reference to the villian of the same name from the manga series Riki-Oh.

Attachment During the development of Street Fighter II, an early design for Dhalsim bore a striking resemblance to Ganesha, a Hindu god with four arms and the head of an elephant. His name around that time was Naradatta’, which may refer to a character in Osamu Tezuka’s manga Buddha.

The cycloid were created with the intention to give a "strange vibe" to the players. Cycloid – β, in particular, was designed in order to see if the development team could introduce elements such as mirror surface processing, refraction of light through transparent objects, and representation of flames, all of which were very popular elements in programming around the time of the game's release.

The reason all 3 phases of the final battle with Brevon were given health bars (the first two subtly indicated by the two pillars in the background) was due to it being hard to gauge how close it was to defeating them, as well as their difficulty.

Nioh's story is based on James Clavell's 1975 novel Shōgun, which focuses on a fictional English samurai who examines the rise of a new Shogunate, based on the real-life William Adams.

The Dark Souls series was a major inspiration for the gameplay, as well as the team's older works, such as Ninja Gaiden and Onimusha. The loot system was also said to be inspired by Diablo.

The development of the game began in 2004 internally by Koei, four years before the merger with Tecmo in 2008. After it was scrapped, production was rebooted and transferred to Omega Force, and shifted the genre to something similar to Dynasty Warriors. This version was also scrapped.

Team Ninja was brought on to help develop the action gameplay in 2010, while earlier staff from the original Koei team handled the scenario, having a finalized concept in 2012. The final version was released in 2017, placing the project in development for between twelve and thirteen years.
