Gen-An's character was inspired by Johnny Depp's titular character from the Tim Burton film Edward Scissorhands. When asked why Gen-An became a green, hunchbacked character instead of more resembling Depp, series creator Yasushi Adachi replied: "I think you’ll agree with me on this, but Genan is more handsome than Johnny Depp. [Laughs]"

According to Yasushi Adachi, the original idea for the game was a side-scrolling action game with various monsters. When considering what would appeal to a global audience while creating the concept for a monster game, he "ultimately felt that a fighting game with ninjas and samurais, which represented distinctly Japanese characters, would do better than just monsters", and changed the concept accordingly. Gen-An Shiranui is the only surviving character from the initial concept.

Entering "Jassica16" and then pressing F10, the command used to enable cheat codes in Crusader: No Remorse, will initially display a message indicating that cheats have been enabled, until a few seconds later when another message appears stating "Of course we changed the cheats... duh." and a voice clip of the game's antagonist Chairman Draygan plays. The Silencer is then transported to a hidden room where he is surrounded by a wave of powerful mechs while the game's Christmas medley, which normally plays when the system's clock is set to December 25th, plays in the background. Defeating all of the enemies in the room will cause the player to lose control of the Silencer as he quickly turns towards the camera while the last enemy dies, before exploding himself and shutting down the game.

Attachment During the Assault on the castle in the game's Prologue, a dead body can be found near the large iron gates to the castle. The body is wearing a white, hooded cloak tied with red and brown garments and it appears that the cause of death was falling from a great height into a cart of hay. Geralt comments upon finding the corpse: "Hmm... Guess they'll never learn.", and then receives one point in the Assassination Attribute. This is a reference to the first Assassin's Creed game and its protagonist, Altaïr.

In Chapter 2-3: Breaking the Bank, it is possible to work off your debt of one million Rubees without finding Slim and stealing the needed currency from the mansion's vault. Although there are no differences in the stage's ending if you do this, working off the debt acts as a lengthy sequence break as traveling back to the vault after working and paying off the full debt will reveal that the counter on the vault door now displays 0, and the vault can be opened freely without entering the password to reveal that it is empty.

On the other hand, manually working to collect over 9,999,999 Rubees will result in the Rubees counter in the HUD overflowing and appearing to start back at 0 due to it only displaying seven digits, but in reality the game does register the collection of more than ten million Rubees and allows you to complete the level.

Attachment The final battle between Travis Touchdown and Spoiler:Damon Riccitiello is a parody of the Super Smash Bros. series.

Director Goichi Suda stated in an interview that the idea for the fight being a "total rip-off" of Super Smash Bros. was originally a joke. However once they actually developing it, he felt this may end up becoming a problem because it felt "really, really close to the actual game" and had decided to change the idea. However, representatives from Nintendo and even Masahiro Sakurai himself liked the idea and told him to keep it in the game.

The original Kyo was redesigned for the game, but some designers wanted his iconic school uniform. When they were nearing the end of their production schedule, staff members were indecisive upon which uniform the Kyo clone should wear (KOF '94 or KOF '95). When the project head said to just make two clones instead, the game’s staff objected due to time constraints. In response, the project head then drew designs for Kyo-1 and Kyo-2 on the spot to resolve the issue.

Kyo and Iori were originally not planned to be in the game so that the story could focus on the newer characters. However, it was ultimately concluded that the characters were popular enough that they couldn’t just leave them in limbo, so they got a reprieve as well as a redesign.

In a 1991 interview with the game's planner Akira Nishitani published in vol. 62 of Gamest magazine, he confirmed that in Taiwan, a special version of Street Fighter II was manufactured with only three buttons on a custom control panel. He claimed that the Taiwanese "don't mind if there's fewer buttons, as long as the game is playable." By pressing certain button combinations, such as two buttons at the same time, you can perform different attacks, but due to the limited controls, some moves cannot be performed at all.

Nishitani added that the game is popular in Taiwan as well: "They seem to prefer Street Fighter I/II and Tenchi o Kurau (Dynasty Wars) to Final Fight. It makes sense, being the home of kung fu and all."
