Attachment "Rowdy" Roddy Piper was originally going to be an official playable wrestler, and would have featured his Wrestlemania 1 and 2 matches in the "30 Years of Wrestlemania" mode. However, 2K could not reach an agreement with Mr. T, who faced Piper in these matches, to feature him in the game, so neither were officially playable in the game. However, all of Piper's logos can be found in the WWE logos section, and Roddy Piper's face/body are selectable in WWE Faces mode.

There are two versions of the boss "Junior". In the arcade machine is a switch that will change the boss of the Freak Show from a big baby to a gigantic teddy bear named Deaddy. It's likely that the switch was added to avoid complaints from parents regarding the shooting of an infant child.

Halo was originally planned as a Mac exclusive, and was also an RTS similar to Myth, a previous game by Bungie, and later unveiled at Macworld as a third-person shooter. This was until Microsoft bought Bungie in 2000. The game was also considered for release prior on the PlayStation 2 until the partnership with Take 2 ended.

Attachment The Xbox controller was redesigned to appeal to Japanese gamers because Microsoft had trouble selling the Xbox to a Japanese audience. In the end Microsoft came up with the Controller S, an Xbox controller which was more compact and attractive to the Japanese demographic. This design would eventually be adopted in America as well, and a decade later became the standard.

Gary Russell, the game's writer and future show script editor, had to search for sound bites from old episodes which they were able to use.

The developers originally wanted to include a puzzle in the first episode that took place in Club 41, the bar on Flotsam Island, but had to cut it due to size limitations. Club 41 was named after the 40MB file size limitation of the Wii, making reference to the 41st MB that they couldn't fit into the game.

It was originally intended for both parts of Metal Gear Solid V, Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain, to be a single game, but the game's designer, Hideo Kojima, wanted people to experience the game near the launch of the recently announced next generation of consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One). Ground Zeroes was also considered for the PlayStation Portable, but development proved to be much tougher than expected, and that version was cancelled.

However, in 2023, Kojima stated on Twitter that he originally intended for Ground Zeroes to not just be released separately as a prologue to The Phantom Pain all along, but he also intended it to be the first installment of an episodic series. His reasoning for this was due to lengthy development times for recent games resulting in ideas changing over the course of production. His original plan was to produce the first episode to gauge audience reactions, and then develop two more episodes while receiving feedback, but due to criticism over the game's short length and pricing, and subsequent confusion over whether or not Ground Zeroes was considered a full game, this plan was scrapped.

The game was originally developed for the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, and would've utilized the console's internal clock to track real-world time, making the game seem truly alive. However, because of the Disk Drive's commercial failure, Dōbutsu no Morí, like many others, was moved to a standard Nintendo 64 cartridge, with the internal clock being built into the cartridge itself.
