Sonic X-treme
Sonic X-treme (TBA)

The version of Sonic X-Treme we saw in advertisements was scrapped early in development. The slow and unsatisfactory progress in porting the PC engine code to the Sega Saturn caused arguments, and resulted in the executives intervening and bringing in a third party company, POV, to take over programming duties. From then on, three parties worked on the programming separately: one on the boss stages and two on the main game. On the original programmers' side, good progress was made. But POV had no such luck. Due to a poor presentation made by POV, the President of Sega Japan had already angrily left the building when the team of original main-game programmers arrived. In reaction to the poor presentation, the president demanded that the rest of the game be made like the boss engine, which caused further complications and ultimately the cancellation of the game.

In the cave at Sunny Peak, there is a pedestal with what looks like a sword in it. To lift the "sword," the player must find a red, blue, and green marble to place in the pedestal. This is most likely a reference to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, in-which you have to do a similar thing to get the Master Sword. This is further backed up by having music similar to when you try picking up the Master Sword in A Link to the Past.

Snake's real name, David, was not a reference to his voice actor, David Hayter, as it was present in the Japanese script long before he was hired to provide Snake's voice. The name is instead a dual reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey and Policenauts.

In Otacon's ending, Snake gives Otacon his real name, and Otacon replies "I'm Hal, Dave." to which Snake jokes they should "take a trip to Jupiter", referencing the Stanley Kubrick 1968 movie and book 2001: A Space Odyssey which starred a main character named "David" Bowman and the famous supercomputer "HAL"-9000.

In Meryl's ending, Snake gives his real name to Meryl, who calls him "Dave". This is actually one of many references to Kojima's previous game Policenauts, in which Meryl Silverburgh was a member of the Beyond Coast Polices Vice unit, and was partnered with a young officer named "Dave" Forrest.

Attachment Ulysses was originally going to be a companion, but was cut from the final version of the game and then put back in for the Lonesome Road DLC as the main antagonist.

This would have made him a Legion-sympathetic companion and would help explain Legion backstory elements, as there wasn't much Legion support from any of the other companions. He would have also reacted strongly to NCR/Legion conflict and the player's role in it, acting as a sounding board when possible.
