Oscar, Knight of Astora (the knight who gives the player the Estus Flask in the Undead Asylum) was likely supposed to take a more prominent role. Unused dialogue in the game's files suggests that he was supposed to help the player in Darkroot Garden, as well as engaging in a confrontation with the player at some point in the story.

Attachment In the Team of Blues release, the Japanese version of Team ProtoMan, there exists a menu for using the Wireless Adapter, rather than the Link Cable, for multiplayer play. It's possible to access this menu through the use of hacking tools, although the feature is not actually programmed. Both the ProtoMan and Colonel versions can use the Wireless Adapter for the Crossover Battle with Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django, so it's unknown why this feature was dropped from the main multiplayer section of the game.

Attachment When asked about Bayonetta's new hairstyle, producer Yusuke Hashimoto said that the change had more to do with Bayonetta's personality, rather than just an arbitrary cosmetic change.

"Her personality is the type that would not want to remain stagnant. She would want to change her style, taste in fashion, and her costumes. Down the line in the series, she may make further changes to her appearance."

Attachment The game started out as a Rodan game. It was shown in an "Upcoming Titles" promo that came with Godzilla: Monster of Monsters, as well as being featured in Nintendo Power and GamePro. What was changed gameplay wise and the reason for the change in name is not clear, but it is rumored that Toho felt the Rodan name wouldn't sell as well as Godzilla.

Attachment The game was originally to be called in Japan "Red and Black", which helped convey the edginess of the game, as the title "Perfect Dark" did not translate well in Japanese. However the game was eventually released as "Perfect Dark" with the red and black cover motif as a relic of the previous name.

Attachment 2 different versions of Hulk Hogan (1980's Hogan, Current Hogan) were originally meant to be in the game. It seems they were removed later in development, as they both have select screen photos. the reasoning behind their removal is most likely due to Hogan's termination from the WWE during development of the game.

Attachment There are six unused announcer calls for Maven, Kenzo Suzuki, and Mr. America (Hulk Hogan). It's likely they were all meant to be playable characters during development, but it's unknown as to why they were removed. It's unlikely that this was due to their contracts expiring during development, as the game includes several characters on the roster whose contracts expired during development, such as Spike Dudley, Mark Jindrak, and Joy Giovanni.

Richard Waugh, the second voice actor for Albert Wesker, was inspired by the Walt Disney villain Shere Khan from "The Jungle Book".

My kids were toddlers at the time and we had been watching a lot of Disney films. As soon as I read Wesker I thought, wouldn't it be cool to have this military-type have a really cultured, chocolaty voice like George Sanders in The Jungle Book. Wesker is basically my version of Shere Khan.
