The development for Majora's Mask started out of a lack of enthusiasm to work on the unreleased expansion for Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64 Disc Drive, dubbed "Ura Zelda". Eiji Aonuma protested the expansion, so Shigeru Miyamoto challenged him to make a sequel for the game within 1 year, in exchange, they would no longer have to make Ura Zelda.

Resident Evil's original Japanese name, Biohazard, was changed because trademarking "Biohazard" would have been too difficult, mostly due to a DOS game and a band of the same name. The name "Resident Evil" came from a naming contest held within the company.

Tamagon was removed in the American version of the game but the trophy can still be found with Action Replay, complete with a translated description. Stranger still, the Tamagon trophy was removed outright from the European version of the game and cannot even be found with a cheat device, despite the fact that Devil World was released in European countries.

Attachment A Game Boy Color version of the game was at one point being developed, however it was supposedly canceled because the show's creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone didn't think it was right for the platform because children were its main demographic. Only a single screenshot was released to the public in Nintendo Power magazine issue 114.

It's possible that Acclaim reused the game for "Maya the Bee" in Europe and "Mary Kate & Ashley" in the US as both share a similar HUD to the South Park game.

A prototype version of the game was later dumped onto the Internet in 2018.

Devil World is the only one of Shigeru Miyamoto's games to have initially missed out on an American release. This is due to Nintendo of America's strict policy against religious imagery. The game was, however, released in Europe on both the NES and later on the Wii Virtual Console, and a North American release would be seen first time as part of the Nintendo Switch Online service in October 2023.

Attachment At Comic Con 2012, Pen Ward, creator of Adventure Time, said when you beat the DS and 3DS game, it would play a video of him in a chair congratulating you in beating the game in a similar fashion to the Pepsi Man. However, it was never added to the game. It is presumed that it is replaced with the Konami Code secret where Pen dances.
