There is evidence in the code of the arcade version that the two boss characters, Huitzil and Pyron, may have been planned as playable at one stage of development. There is an alternate color scheme for both of the characters that shows up if you are playing a mirror match, both characters are able to be played in Arcade mode though hacking (though Pyron can't fight the final boss due to a bug), both of the characters have their own endings, which are the exact same as their endings in the sequel, "Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge", though in a more unfinished state with the ending text just repeating "A" and the music not playing like it should.

The game originally started out as a Universal movie monsters fighting game, which would use the Street Fighter II engine. Though the final game still uses the engine, Universal did not want to license the monsters out, meaning the development team had to make completely new characters, which producer Alex Jimenez said took him about an hour to do.

Attachment "Rowdy" Roddy Piper was originally going to be an official playable wrestler, and would have featured his Wrestlemania 1 and 2 matches in the "30 Years of Wrestlemania" mode. However, 2K could not reach an agreement with Mr. T, who faced Piper in these matches, to feature him in the game, so neither were officially playable in the game. However, all of Piper's logos can be found in the WWE logos section, and Roddy Piper's face/body are selectable in WWE Faces mode.

There are two versions of the boss "Junior". In the arcade machine is a switch that will change the boss of the Freak Show from a big baby to a gigantic teddy bear named Deaddy. It's likely that the switch was added to avoid complaints from parents regarding the shooting of an infant child.

Halo was originally planned as a Mac exclusive, and was also an RTS similar to Myth, a previous game by Bungie, and later unveiled at Macworld as a third-person shooter. This was until Microsoft bought Bungie in 2000. The game was also considered for release prior on the PlayStation 2 until the partnership with Take 2 ended.

Attachment The Xbox controller was redesigned to appeal to Japanese gamers because Microsoft had trouble selling the Xbox to a Japanese audience. In the end Microsoft came up with the Controller S, an Xbox controller which was more compact and attractive to the Japanese demographic. This design would eventually be adopted in America as well, and a decade later became the standard.
