Attachment Nintendo planned to create the CD Add-on for the SNES. Nintendo partnered with Sony and Philips to create the CD Add-on, but it was ultimately cancelled. This agreement allowed Philips to use Nintendo's IP on their own Gaming Console, the "Phillips CD-i.

Sony's own gaming ventures appear to have been influenced by this as the canceled reader was dubbed "The Play Station", akin to the PlayStation.

The "Horror comes home..." trailer for Resident Evil VII is a clear nod towards the original 1996 Resident Evil's menu intro. Both were shot in live action from an unseen assailant's perspective and both show them scampering through hallways towards the unsuspecting hero, startling and subsequently attacking them in a similar manner.

Demitri's Midnight Bliss attack turns Zangief into "Zangyura-chan, the little tangerine vending Russian girl". The name is based on a typo made by Gamest magazine while they were covering a Street Fighter 2 Turbo location test, stating that "By pressing all kick buttons, Zangyura can do a very quick Super Uriajjō, without collision detection in his legs" (ザンギュラはキックボタン3つ同時押しで足に判定のない、早めの回転のスーパーウリアッ上が出せる。).

The visual design of Zangyura, as well as the fact she sells oranges is based upon Russian cartoon character Čeburaška, who in one film was discovered in a crate full of oranges.

When the game was released on the Playstation, it was packaged alongside the Playstation port of the original Strider.

However, in the North American release, the games were printed to the wrong discs. Strider 2 was printed to disc 2 (labelled "Strider"), and Strider was printed to disc 1 (labelled "Strider 2"). This affects all North American copies of the game.

Attachment A feature called "Death Cost" was planned to be added which would have the Captain of the Ferry of the Damned deduct gold from players when they died (excluding when killed in PVP), with the amount dependant on the cause of death. However due to community backlash believing it would discourage new players from playing and simply punish you for dying, the game's executive producer, Joe Neate, told players on Twitter that the feature idea had been dropped.
