Due to its poor reception and short lifespan, over 60 Sega 32X games are known to have been cancelled. As the 32X only received 40 official releases worldwide, this makes it unusual in that it had more cancellations than actual game releases. Many of the cancelled 32X games would eventually be ported to other platforms to commercial and/or critical success, including Daytona USA, Die Hard Trilogy, and Rayman.

EVA's English voice actress in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker was credited under the name Suzetta Miñet, and was widely assumed by fans to be a pseudonym as she had no other credits in anything. This sparked years of speculation as to who she could be, with one of the most leading theories being that she was voiced by Debi Mae West, the voice of Meryl in Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. However, while West acknowledged that the characters sounded similar, she denied being the voice of EVA in 2015. Konami would eventually confirm in a 2024 behind-the-scenes video promoting Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater that the pseudonym belonged to Jodi Benson, who was best known for voicing Ariel in Disney's 1989 adaptation of the fairy tale "The Little Mermaid". Benson explained that she used the pseudonym at the recommendation of the game's English voice director Kris Zimmerman Salter, because of her association with Disney and other roles aimed towards younger and family-friendly audiences at the time. The name itself was based on a pet dog Benson owned in her childhood named "Suzette Monet".

Champion Edition was the only iteration of Street Fighter II to be released on the PC Engine, known in the USA as the TurboGrafx-16. Despite the original game's relatively large size, this port did not take advantage of the console's CD-ROM attachment. Instead, the game was released on a 20 megabit HuCard. For context, all other games released on HuCard had a capacity of no more than 8 megabits. As the standard PC Engine controller only had two action buttons, a new controller called the Avenue Pad 6 was released specifically for use with the game.

The Genesis version of Virtua Racing is the only licensed game for the system to use the Sega Virtua Processor. Similar to the SNES's Super FX chip used in games such as Star Fox, the SVP greatly improved the Genesis's ability to render large numbers of polygons. Due to the extra hardware, Virtua Racing cost $99.95 at launch, making it the most expensive mass-produced domestic Genesis cartridge.

Originally, the South Asian area of the game was specified to be Bangladesh, but this was changed due to a complaint from the Bangladeshi government regarding the portrayal of the region, with a Sony spokesperson stating:

The Japanese version of the game features a unique location west of Mt. Glom, a small riverside woodland simply called "?". This area is only accessible if the player patches their memory card using a CD distributed with volume 147 of Dengeki PlayStation. The primary feature of ? is Dengeki-ya, a Special Store containing a lottery, a shop, and a free Rusted Sword.

Despite tying in with a magazine published exclusively in Japan, the files for ? are still present in the US release's data.

The Saturn port of Virtua Racing was outsourced by Sega to the publisher Time Warner Interactive. However, Sega did not provide the developers with the source code for the game or initially a Saturn development kit, instead only giving a single arcade cabinet and some model data. The developers were thus forced to reverse engineer Virtua Racing to the best of their abilities. As a result, the game handles significantly differently from any other version of the game.

Despite a troubled development, Time Warner added a significant amount of extra content to the game, including a Grand Prix mode and increasing the 1 vehicle and 3 tracks to 5 vehicles and 10 tracks. As of 2024, this makes the Saturn version to most content-rich version of Virtua Racing.

When you first encounter The Mohole boss fight, Super Joe will normally tell Spencer:


However, there is a chance that Super Joe will instead say something bluer:


The closed captions do not change to accommodate for the dialogue change, making it a surprise. It's not known if there are any pre-requisites to triggering this secret, or if there is just a randomized chance of hearing it, but it can happen if you die to the boss and attempt it again at least once.

On the second floor of Graniny Gorki, there is a library/desk room on the west side of the wall that features three notable paintings and a magazine. The paintings are Spoiler:"Salvation." and "Promise." which depict God, and "St. Alessa Gillespie: Mother of God, Daughter of God.", and are taken from the Church from Silent Hill 3. There is a fourth painting in the room depicting the head of a woman, but it's not known where it originates from. The magazine can be found on the desk towards the back of the room, and is a copy of the May 2004 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly promoting the game on the cover.

During the game's fifth mission, if you complete the Sniper's Last Stand level on Hard mode, the player will be brought to the second part of the level to play a hide-and-seek minigame. You are given 60 seconds to find a safe hiding spot, and then the "Bazooka-Med", a medic carrying a bazooka, will start to hunt you down until he finds you and shoots you with it. There is no reward for winning this minigame.

In the "Blood and Wine" expansion, one of the fist-fighters Geralt must defeat in Beauclair is a man named Mancomb who can be found near the Nilfgaardian Embassy marker in the south. Mancomb is described as an experienced fighter, but instead of fighting in hand-to-hand combat, Geralt must instead fight Mancomb by verbally roasting him. This entire sequence is a reference to the Monkey Island series, with Mancomb's appearance being modeled after series protagonist Guybrush Threepwood, the name "Mancomb" already belonging to the Monkey Island character Mancomb Seepgood, and the fight itself referencing the recurring Insult Sword Fights throughout the series.

In 2023, a previously undiscovered Easter egg was found in the secret level "The Abyssmal". However, while it is possible to activate this secret legitimately, the steps to do so are uncertain as to how many are really needed to activate it. In order to make it appear, Gex needs to whack all 6 pearls, whack all 7 mines in a specific order, whack every fish, whack the turret without activating it, and whack the target inside of the sunken ship. Another possible step is going inside of the ship's funnel, but it's still unknown if this is supposed to be an invisible trigger for something or if it's unnecessary for triggering the Easter egg. When all of these steps are completed, a spinning cube with pictures of three family members of the developers will appear on top of the Deep Sea Explorer. Destroying the cube will award you with a Star Token for the Vault.

The game's title screen and "Did Not Qualify" screen for when you fail to enter the main race feature two women wearing strapless corset teddies, an outfit commonly associated with Playboy Bunnies from the nightclub chain and magazine of the same name. This is not a coincidence, as the sprites of the women featured are traced and edited versions of former Playboy models from the early 1970's, specifically Mercy Rooney on the title screen, and Claire Rambeau on the Did Not Qualify screen.

If you encounter the enemy Adamantaimai and manage to cast Barrier, MBarrier or Big Guard (which includes both statuses) before its first turn, the Adamantaimai will attempt to use Cure. However, it does not have Cure in its attack list, which will most commonly result in a debug error message appearing advising players to hold L1, R1 and Select to return to the overworld. The reason Adamantaimai tries to use Cure is because Cure has the ability ID of 0. Adamantaimai selects an ability to use if it lacks Barrier status, and it can select another ability if it has Barrier but not MBarrier (at no other time does this enemy store an ability in memory). However, no value was ever set for the possibility of it already having both statuses on its first turn, so it never sets an ability and instead tries to use the ability set at 0. While Adamantaimai using Cure is not unusual on paper, it has no animation for it unlike its other attacks, resulting in the error message. Attempting this glitch in modern releases of the game will cause it to freeze.

At the small bridge past your farmland when heading into Harmonica Town, if you use the Old Camera to peek into the tunnel next to the bridge on a rainy day, the Kappa can be seen silently waiting far away in the water. This is the only game in the series where you cannot interact with him.

Concept art for the game suggests that there were plans to include V.I.P. Bots based on Sweet Tooth from the Twisted Metal series and Princess Plump from the Fat Princess series at some point in development, but were ultimately scrapped.

Unlike the development of the first game, series creators John Garvin and Richard Ham both had a complete vision of what Syphon Filter 2 would be like prior to development, with Garvin stating in an interview with PlayStation Blog:

Maxis Studio One began life as a group of college friends working on a fan project called "SimBots", which would have allowed players to turn cities created in SimCity 2000 into arenas for mecha battles. Maxis caught wind of this project and hired the team, but cancelled the SimBots project. The team was instead tasked with developing the Sega Saturn port of SimCity 2000, starting in June 1994, at which point no development hardware was actually available until October. A single "Sophia" development kit was obtained in December, and development lasted until August 1995, with the port releasing in Autumn.

The Saturn port has a few technical oddities as a result of its short development time. For example, saving a single city required 461 blocks of memory (about 32 kilobytes), equivalent to virtually all of the Saturn's internal storage. Although the Saturn featured dual-CPU architecture, only a single CPU was used, causing the game to run very slowly with more complex cities.

In a 2024 GameRant interview with the game's director and designer Jens Andersson, he went into detail about Bethesda collaborating with Lucasfilm Games, what input they had on the game, and how much creative freedom Bethesda were given. Bethesda director Todd Howard originally came up with the idea of making a game about the Great Circle, but the game's story was entirely devised by Andersson and his team after the first two months of development. Lucasfilm Games gave feedback on the story, and Bethesda cooperated because they were fans of the franchise and felt Lucasfilm Games were on the same page in regards to their goals. They trusted Lucasfilm as a whole to know how the Indiana Jones character and IP should be treated in order to create "something that felt like an Indiana Jones experience".

The description for the V.I.P. Bot "Watermelon Buster" (based on Raiden from the Metal Gear series and specifically his appearance in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance) simply reads "Nanomachines, son!" This is a reference to the final boss fight in that game, where Spoiler:after Raiden asks him why he won't die, Senator Armstrong responds "Nanomachines, son!", with the scene and line becoming an internet meme.
