According to game's director Tatsuya Nakae in a 2000 Arcadia magazine #3 developer interview, he was asked how they were able to realize the support for the game's online matching service network (established in collaboration with Japanese telecom KDDI). He responded:

"In the beginning, Funamizu asked us if it’d be possible to add online battles as a major selling point, and after discussing it internally and determining that it might be feasible, we decided to approach KDDI with the idea. Thankfully, KDDI was on board and got to work on making it a reality; we didn’t have a ton of time for development, but thanks to the hard work of KDDI, we were able to make it happen."
"At first, I was worried about lag during online matches, but when we ran in-house tests, the lag didn’t feel as bad as I feared it would and we were able to comfortably play online, so we rushed to finish the game. People who’ve never tried it tend to think “online play, I don’t know…” and shy away from it, but those people are the ones who are the most impressed when they finally try it for themselves, so I’d really urge you to go hands-on for yourselves."

According to the game's producer Yoshihiro Sudo in a 2000 Arcadia magazine #3 developer interview, he acknowledged that the line charge for the arcade release of the game in Japan charging 13 yen per minute, meaning 50-60 yen per game, was a controversially high rate that the developers did not want to increase and that fans complained about for being too high, but that it was the lowest possible price they could charge the game at for the time being. He then expressed hope that the cost would lower as more people played the game.

In a 1991 interview with the game's planner Akira Nishitani published in vol. 62 of Gamest magazine, he confirmed that in Taiwan, a special version of Street Fighter II was manufactured with only three buttons on a custom control panel. He claimed that the Taiwanese "don't mind if there's fewer buttons, as long as the game is playable." By pressing certain button combinations, such as two buttons at the same time, you can perform different attacks, but due to the limited controls, some moves cannot be performed at all.

Nishitani added that the game is popular in Taiwan as well: "They seem to prefer Street Fighter I/II and Tenchi o Kurau (Dynasty Wars) to Final Fight. It makes sense, being the home of kung fu and all."

At the time, he broke up with his girlfriend from Hawaii, so he came up with some Hawaiian impersonations which landed him the role of Wakka.

Likely a leftover feature from debug testing, a code could be activated in earlier versions of the game that can instantly kill the characters by holding ZL/ZR/L/R/X/D-Pad Down for around 5 seconds. It could also be activated in the middle of cutscenes or while talking to NPCs. This code was removed in version 2.1.0 of the game.

When the player uses the Holo Decoy gadget, holographic clones of Spider-Man will appear to distract enemies and say various phrases. In the Japanese version of the game, one phrase he will say is "The Emissary from Hell - Spider-Man". This is a reference to Spider-Man's catchphrase from the 1978 Spider-Man Japanese television series produced by Toei.

When Kazuya is in Rage Mode and the player is using a Pro Controller or a pair of Joy-Cons, the HD Rumble feature in those controllers will cause them to vibrate in a way that mimics the "thumping" of a heartbeat. This can also be felt with a GameCube controller connected to an adapter, although instead of "thumping", it creates a short, light vibration every couple of seconds due to GameCube controllers lacking the HD Rumble.

When the game was originally localized for North America, Dante received a 20% reduction in the amount of damage in his attacks, while also receiving a 20% increase in the amount of damage he takes from regular enemies in all modes. This artificial change in difficulty makes the North American PlayStation 2 version of Devil May Cry harder than any other version of the game.
