At its early concepts Biohazard 3: Last Escape was going to have a mode where you could play as a zombified Brad Vickers (cut due to production costs) and Jill would have crossed paths with Leon, Ada and William during the story (cut due to continuity problems).

Resident Evil 3 was originally planned to star the masked mercenary, HUNK, in a luxury cruiser trying to locate a G-virus sample. During this point, the eventual game was a separate project titled "Biohazard: Gaiden", not to be confused with the GBC title "Resident Evil Gaiden", and designed as a spin-off. Due to an issue with the original project's development time, this "Gaiden" was changed into the actual sequel and given the name "Biohazard 3: Last Escape" while the other project was scrapped.

Attachment There's an unused model of Mario in the game's data. Mario is stretched to Luigi's proportions and is equipped with the back straps for the Poltergust 3000. The geometry of the model is simpler than Mario's final in-game model, containing fewer polygons. Although its true purpose is unknown, it could've been from an unused multiplayer mechanic requiring both Mario and Luigi. The model was stretched out, presumably to fit Luigi's skeleton so that Luigi's animations could be used on the model. The model also uses Luigi's gloves, presumably to make his animations handling the Poltergust 3000 more accurate.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game
Ghostbusters: The Video Game (2009)

Attachment There was a level cut from the final release of the game where the Ghostbusters fight haunted floats in the Thanksgiving Day Parade. At one point during this level, the team would have made a trip to Ray's Occult Books, which was Ray Stantz's book store in Ghostbusters II. A Dopey Dog float was supposed to be the end level boss, but was replaced with a different character. Dopey Dog was a character from The Real Ghostbusters cartoon show.

There was also a "Crowd" mechanic developed for use primarily with this level that was also cut. The "Crowd" mechanic was supposed to simulate the many people that walk the streets of New York City. This "Crowd" mechanic gave up to 1,000 individual NPCs their own AI. The members of the Crowd Mechanic successfully reacted to the Ghostbusters walking by, became scared of ghosts that appeared out of nowhere, and ran in terror when the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man appeared on the street.

Johnny Cage was going to be the only classic character to not return. Because his actor quit/was fired after Mortal Kombat II, a new actor had to replace him, which meant remaking all of his sprites. Johnny Cage also replaces the unmasked Sub-Zero, which can be seen in early promo photos.

There is an unused multicolored gem in the game's data called the Rainbow Gem. This gem would have let the character "go super" at any time they wanted. If it is hacked back into the game, the character would go through the Super transformations animations, but would be unable to turn into the Super mode.

Both Phoenix Wright and Franziska von Karma were planned to be fighters in the game, with Franziska being the more wanted as her whip would have been easy to implement. However, Phoenix had only one move planned, "Objection!", which the developers had trouble balancing since the attack became larger when translating the 4 letter "異議あり" (Igiari) to the 10 letter "Objection!".
