The light gun was called "The Gun" or "Beam Gun" and looks like a revolver gun in Japan. Outside of Japan, it was renamed "NES Zapper" and redesigned to look like a futuristic gun, rather than a real gun. Then later, another futuristic gun called "Zapper" was dyed orange to tone down the gun look for all versions.

On August 7, 2002, Nintendo held a contest called the Animal Crossing Official Pioneers Program, where a limited number of participants would be able to receive an early-access copy of Animal Crossing. To apply for selection, one would have to submit a short response of 50 words at most explaining why Nintendo should pick them to be "Animal Crossing Pioneers", with 125 teams of two people (totaling to 250 applicants) ultimately being chosen. Each winner was provided with a specially-marked promotional disc for Animal Crossing, a 59-block memory card, and a calendar spanning September 2002 to December 2003; in addition, winners were given access to an online forum where they could interact with Nintendo of America staff members, completing in-game objectives, providing feedback, and participating in online chats.

The game's designer, Richard La Ruina, and his development team, had filed a DMCA takedown request against a video commenting on the game by YouTuber IAmPattyJack (real name Chris Hodgkinson) on the grounds of copyright infringement, despite it coming under fair-use. La Ruina also criticized Hodgkinson for having suggested in his video that people should be themselves when conversing with women, as opposed to the pick-up artist tactics seen in the game.

Before Hodgkinson knew that YouTube had accepted La Ruina's video strike against him and removed the video, La Ruina apologized to him and sent $50 as compensation for any loss of revenue, however Hodgkinson declined to accept and refunded it. La Ruina later told Polygon "I’m not going to hide that I don’t like this guy, [sic] But if somebody wants to make a negative video, they’re very welcome and we won’t DMCA it. I don’t believe in that." Hodgkinson's video would eventually return.

According to Takashi Iizuka. Sonic Mania came out of the love from the original Sonic series. Christian Whitehead and Simon Thomley(the people behind the remastered Sonic ports on mobile devices) took part in the development of the game.

"Sonic Mania was born out of our fans love of the classic Sonic 2D platform games. This type of collaboration is a first for Sega and we hope everyone will be both surprised and delighted by this title. Sonic Mania has been a passion project for the entire team and we look forward to sharing more details about it later this year. Having the game actually playable at the event itself tonight was testament to the dedication of the team behind it.”

When Jill Valentine removes her beret, it is shown that she has long hair tied in a ponytail underneath her beret to appear short.

This is inconsistent with the in-game portrayal and artwork of Jill in Resident Evil 1 (which her appearance is based off of), where she just has short hair. However, it does falls in line with the live-action portrayal of Jill in Resident Evil 1, as the actress who portrayed her also had short hair tied in a ponytail under the beret.

In order to accurately capture the Victorian era, composer Chris Vrenna disallowed himself from using modern instruments.

The soundtrack was largely composed using instruments of the time, such as zithers and autoharps, toy instruments, and various children's toys, such as jack-in-the-boxes. Ambient noise and strings were then added to the songs to give the songs a more creepy feeling.

In order to make the music more organic sounding, Vrenna built the rhythms of the songs based on various environmental samples such as clock ticking, ratchet noises, and door slams.
