Attachment A Vault Boy image named "perk_survivalist" appears in the game files. It differs in appearance from the original survivalist perk (found in Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics), and its unclear what it would do as it was never implemented into the game though it seems to imply that the perk was originally planned to appear in New Vegas.

Attachment Two demons, called Megami Izanami and Fiend Tokisada, were scrapped from the game. Both had artwork created for them by series demon artist, Kazuma Kaneko, but went it ultimately went unused.

Tokisada would eventually appear in Shin Megami Tensei: IMAGINE and Shin Megami Tensei IV as both a boss and an ally. Izanami also appeared in Shin Megami Tensei IV and plays a large role in Persona 4, albeit with a differing design.

Attachment Karin, a character that wouldn't debut until Street Fighter Alpha 3 a year after the release of this title, has some prototype sprites left in the game's data. Her appearance differs greatly from her final design, being little more than a spriteswap of Sakura with combat boots and a different head.

Attachment Originally, the games Sonic Spinball, Sonic 3D Blast and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine were to be included as part of the collection, however, they were cut from the game during development.

This would explain why sprites from Sonic Spinball and Sonic 3D Blast can be seen in the game's credits.

Hovering over the "Random" option shows nothing in this space, however it does displayed a model of a tall tilted structure outside of the player's viewpoint. This can only be displayed by altering the game's camera in emulation.

There was originally a levelling system that allowed players to sacrifice their stats to restore their humanity. Each stat reduction would give the player four soft-Humanities each, with the limit being the base stats the player started the game with. The actual soul-level of the player does not reduce, possibly due to the system not being complete. However, the player could increase their stats without their soul-level increasing, up to the point of how many stat-levels they sacrificed. This would have made it a functional "Respec System", which would have allowed players to Reallocate their stats, albeit slowly.

Attachment New World Computing scrapped an entire faction that was planned to appear in Armageddon's Blade called Heavenly Forge. Carrying on the tradition of implementing aspects of both science-fiction and high fantasy in the games (which had been a factor in the Might and Magic series since its 1986 origin), the town was to be predominantly technology-oriented. It showcased at E3 1999, with concept art released to GameSpot and several fansites. Roughly a week after the concept art was unveiled, GameSpot's Micheal Mullen interviewed Heroes III designer Gregory Fulton. Fulton revealed that the Forge had, in response to fan demand, been removed from Armageddon's Blade. It was to be replaced with the Elemental Conflux faction, which had been on the drawing board for a second expansion pack.
