Attachment The North American SNES cover of the game depicts an old bearded man playing a banjo with a spaceship flying in the background, an unusual departure for a side-scrolling space-themed Shoot 'em up.

According to Matt Guss of Kemco's American Advertising team, they wanted to make the game stand out more-so than other games of the same genre, saying they all had "monsters or spaceships or something [...] We wanted to create shock value so someone would have to pick the game up. We called it the 'Heavy Huh?!' factor." Art director Keith Campbell says they did the photo shoot themselves, hiring a model for the role of the "80-something hayseed."

The development of Nier started after the release of Drakengard 2. The original concept was for a third entry in the Drakengard series. It was intended to be for seventh generation consoles due to the lessening importance of the PlayStation 2, which Drakengard 2 had been made for. However, as the project evolved, the original ideas were reworked and the game eventually became a spin-off from the main series. Despite this, the game's director Taro Yoko continues to think of it as the third Drakengard game.

Franchise: Uncharted

In Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Drake will use the term "Kitty got wet". This is a phrase said in the co-op mode of Uncharted II, and within Chapter 9 of Uncharted 3. The phrase was improvised by Nolan North, and originates from a term used by his then-eight year old son while they were playing Wii Sports. After beating his father, Cooper North exclaimed that "Kitty got wet", referring to the fact that cats dislike getting wet, just as people don't like losing.

Attachment Drake's costume went through a number of different designs, all specifically designed to not stand out. The designer wanted to have all of Drake's accessories and his outfit to not distract from the motion actor's work and Drake's facial features but also to portray that he had not been going on adventures for some time.

The game was originally pitched as a Legend of Zelda game with Link as the protagonist. The game's director, Shinya Hiratake, didn't think it could be a Mario game at first since all of the Mario characters could jump, and he wanted to remove the jumping mechanic.

When presenting the idea of a game featuring Link where the player explores small dioramas to the heads of Nintendo, Miyamoto at first thought they wanted to produce actual dioramas. Though the idea wasn't turned into a full game at first, it was allowed to be incorporated into Super Mario 3D World as a mini-game. Later, Miyamoto encouraged them to take the mini-game and make it into a full game.
