There are unused lines for Cave Johnson found within the games '.nut' files. The lines would've been used for a scene where the player finds an AI cube with Cave Johnson's conscious programmed inside it. He would meet GLaDOS and reveal that she indeed used to be Caroline and that he "volunteered" her to be a test subject to see if his conscious could be loaded into a machine. He would then continuously ask the player to kill him.

On Sarah's Subway stage, it's possible to get hit by the moving train in the background. In order to do this the player must quickly turn around at the start of the match and run towards the train. If done correctly, the train will hit them and their health will be reduced to a single point. This cannot be done unintentionally and is the only known instance of a stage hazard appearing in the Virtua Fighter series.

Predator's Brutality winpose has him cloaking and walking off into the background. When performed on the narrow bridge-like Kove, Krossroads or the Pit X stages, however, when Predator walks into the background, his spaceship can be seen briefly decloaking and flying into the sky. This is because the Predator would otherwise be walking and logically falling off of the stages.

According to Shigeru Miyamoto in a Keynote speech at the 2018 Computer Entertainment Developers Conference, the reason he and Nintendo never created an MMORPG game (and probably never will) is because he personally finds it boring and tiring to have to handle a game that needs constant updates and attention for an extremely large amount of time and would thus rather create a great number of unique games constantly over the same timespan.

Attachment By datamining a demo build of the game, an image of Donkey Kong Jr. can be found, suggesting that he may have been planned to appear in the game instead of Diddy Kong. Interestingly, Diddy Kong's internal filename in the final version is listed as "dk_jr," suggesting that Diddy's appearance may have been a later addition.

During development, early ideas for new eco powers revolved around time manipulation. Although unused in the final version of the game, these eco powers are present in a preview build - Jak would've been able to manipulate time by accelerating it (increasing his movement and firing speed), decelerating it (slowing enemies down), or stopping it altogether.

According to Eiji Aonuma, the "tilt-shift" effect was inspired by the original Game Boy version's "vast but small" world on the console's 66 mm screen.

"When I played the original Game Boy version, it was a small screen, and it felt like a small world, but very vast. And so, it kind of had this tilt shift perspective; so that's why I thought this diorama-like art style would be perfect for this."

Franchise: Dragon Ball

Webfoot Technologies managed to get the licence for Dragon Ball games purely by their CEO being at the right place at the right time.

The first Legacy of Goku title had the same development time as its two sequels, but the game's quality is noticeably lacking compared to its sequels. This is because the only people on the development team were a handful of programmers and an intern. The rest of the team that worked on the entire trilogy weren't actually hired until halfway through development of the original Legacy of Goku. A lot of their time after being hired was spent cleaning up and fixing what they could before release.

Everything made for the games, content not from the manga or anime, all came from Webfoot Technologies. Though the design doc had to be approved by Atari (publisher), Toei (licensor), and Nintendo. Everything they did required approval from all of them.

The team originally gave the games different names as well, with the second and third games being titled "Legacy of Goku 2: Future Shock" and Legacy of Goku 3: Buu's Fury" instead of Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku 2 and Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury.

In the Windows PC version, there exists several maps within the game's files that go unused. When loaded in game, none of the area's warps can be used and the player cannot interact with anything. The menu also lists an unused mini game title called "TEIKOI Game". It is unclear what type of game this would have been as when loaded into the game the map is nothing but a blank screen.
