• What Could Have Been: According to this interview with former Sega of America employee Scott Berfield, Eternal Champions was originally going to be much more humorous and over the top. Characters would have been affectionate parodies of various hero archetypes, while the training mode would have consisted of minigames where you could beat the crap out of knife=wielding dwarves. Berfield left SoA sometime after the project was greenlit; it was passed down to Michael Latham, who decided to restart the project and turn it into the Eternal Champions we have today.
  • Shadow Yamoto was a character design from the game's original concept that was kept for the final product.
  • A third game Eternal Champions: The Final Chapter was planned for release on the Sega Saturn, though by the time the game was set to be made, another big fighting game was being made by Sega, and due to worry that one fighting game would take away the significance of the other, Eternal Champions: The Final Chapter bit the dust.
