According to the game's official Twitter account, the only characters that the developers would not add to the game if given the opportunity were Calvin and Hobbes from the comic strip of the same name. Despite the concept of the game being around public domain characters already ruling out the still-copyrighted Calvin and Hobbes characters, the reasoning for refusing to consider them was out of respect for creator Bill Watterson and his refusal to license the comics for merchandise despite their popularity, feeling that it would go against the strip's ideals and ruin its authenticity.

In June 2012, game director Shun Nakamura expressed interest in making a port of Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure for the Wii U and a sequel for the Nintendo 3DS, revealing that he wanted "to create a virtual play version of the "Looting the Louvre" part because moving the body really fits into rhythm games." However, the plans for these games never materialized.

It could be said that this is a reference to how long it had been between the release of the original Kid Icarus and Kid Icarus: Uprising in Western territories. However, director Masahiro Sakurai revealed in a post-release interview that he had intended to do three more story missions when first putting together the storyline, but ultimately had to drop them early on, presumably because of time constraints.

Cassette Beasts' plot is inspired by isekai, a subgenre of fantasy that revolves around a person being transported to and surviving in another world. However, the game changes normal conventions of the genre by having everyone the player meets in the game also be transported to the island of New Wirral in a similar manner. According to writer Jay Baylis, this was done to allow the team to put focus on the people who are present in the game.

A major bug in The Witch and the Hundred Knight that can occur at seemingly any time will force the game to return to the system menu, losing all unsaved progress as a result. This became a common critique in the game's reviews, leading it to not be received as favorably by some. While The Witch and the Hundred Knight: Revival Edition did not fully fix this glitch, it occurs much less frequently, with playing for extended periods of time being noted as a possible factor.

Franchise: Fazbear Fanverse Initiative
▲
0
▼
In June 2022, fangame developer Kane Carter became involved in a dispute with Theft King, a prominent YouTuber in the Five Nights at Freddy's community, following a controversy regarding "The Pear", a private group chat used by popular fangame developers to share confidential data. One group member was Ultranight, the developer of the fangame "Chomper's", which was in talks to become part of the Fazbear Fanverse Initiative only for said plans to be aborted after The Pear's reveal. Following this scandal, Carter assured a Twitter user that FNaF series creator Scott Cawthon had not abandoned the Fanverse, but that it was possible he could stop accepting new entries to it due to "these kinds of unpredictable issues". This lead Theft King to make a video titled "The END of the Fazbear Fanverse Initiative?" with a thumbnail caption saying "GOODBYE FANVERSE", despite Carter's claims to the contrary.

This kick-started a month-long feud between them, in which Theft King claimed in a Discord DM to being harassed by Carter's fans, and that his comments ignored the video's positive content. Carter clarified that his comments were in regards to Cawthon's say over future entries, and that his main gripes with the video were the negative clickbait title and thumbnail, a point that Theft King missed. He also asked who was harassing him, but Theft King never responded or provided examples of it. He also publicly pointed out that Theft King had played his game Popgoes Arcade on a livestream a few days before the video's release, appearing to think of it as part of a failed product. In July, a video by a separate YouTuber named Sheeprampage with similar negative clickbait about the Fanverse prompted Carter to post a tweet complaining about this trend that many FNaF YouTubers had adopted, clarifying that this complaint was unrelated to Theft King. However, Theft King interjected by accusing him of taking the videos too personally, calling them "postmortems" of the Fanverse as a program or idea. Fans criticized his claims, stating that he misunderstood the situation, was spreading false narratives, and questioned why he called the videos "postmortems" on an ongoing collective. The next day, Theft King sent Carter another Discord DM claiming his fans were harassing him, and demanded he make a public tweet to end it. He chose not to do this, basing his decision on Theft King's poor handling of criticism, and for playing the victim card in public without any evidence of harassment, as more people came forward with examples of Theft King demanding public apologies for what he believed to be wrongdoings.

Despite claiming he did not want things to escalate, Theft King posted a video titled "An Open Letter to Kane Carter", where he claimed that he had always been positive about Carter's projects and showed clips talking about the Fanverse without a negative bias, but also falsely claimed that Carter had ignored his DMs on Twitter, for seemingly no other reason than to make him appear rude. Carter stated that he never criticized the content of his videos, only the thumbnails and titles, and tweeted a short response that lead to a "Rickroll" video that fellow fangame developer Phisnom used to prank people after writing false apologies. This culminated in Theft King hosting a YouTube livestream of him playing Popgoes Arcade while talking poorly of Carter. During the first hour of the stream, he claimed that Carter had offered to reach out to him on Twitter, but never did. Carter, who was watching the stream, posted a link to his alternate Twitter account proving that Theft King had never seen the messages to show that he was lying. Embarrassed, he ended the stream, but quickly started a second one which he later ended by saying "If there was a Hell, Kane Carter will burn for eternity". Theft King posted an apology on Twitter the next day, effectively ending the feud.

Following the scene where Diane Spoiler:is crushed by Lin, who found out she was a dirty cop, the player is given a dialogue prompt that can lead to a bad ending with two possible death scenes. Originally, it was not possible to trigger the bad ending after finishing the scene, but on February 26, 2024, a series of updates was released (versions 7.0.4 to 7.0.7), each one claiming to have made it possible to obtain the bad ending by talking to Lin again after the scene occurs. Exactly which one made it possible is unknown, as each of the version updates have the exact same description regarding the addition.

Attachment While the Brain Squids that float around in Krystal's opening prologue segment at Krazoa Palace are often thought to be the only common enemies in Star Fox Adventures that she can kill (as she is otherwise stripped of her staff and imprisoned at the top of the palace for the rest of the game), it's actually possible for her to kill a SharpClaw during this segment. The player will need to grab a barrel from the hallway before the flame jet room and place it on the pressure plate in the room after the jets, letting Krystal use the barrel generator in that room for a free barrel. After grabbing that barrel, the player will need to run over to the lift, and once they're in the next hallway, they'll have to go left to the watery barrier, opposite of the Krazoa head where the player normally deposits their Krazoa spirit. From there, if the player waits long enough, a SharpClaw will patrol right by on the other side of the barrier, and from there Krystal can throw her barrel on top of him, immediately destroying him.

Attachment Kane Carter is known for being the creator of the Five Nights at Freddy's fangame series "POPGOES", and all the titles that he has made or conceptualized since 2015 have has been part of that series. However, in August 2023, Carter revealed that he, his girlfriend (known as "Turntail" online), and fellow developer Emil Macko worked on a scrapped concept for an original Unreal Engine horror game around 2017-2018, named "Floodbound." Carter described the basic story as:

"You play as a murderer, trapped in a rainy purgatory parallel world, after almost dying in a car crash that happened while you were fleeing the scene of your third victim. [...] It's home to a single, bizarre villain named Drain Face - a creature who was once human, turned into a mutated monster that survives only off of the rainwater that falls in the rainy parallel world. [...]"

Carter also stated that the goal of the game was to travel through three large areas while dodging Drain Face.

The original programmer was going to be Nikson, known for his work on The Joy of Creation fangame series and Glowstick Entertainment games. Nikson replied to the post offering to continue work on the game if Carter ever decided to go back to it, saying that he loved the idea and the enemy design proposed for it.
