* ''[[Tsukihime]]'' is a [[Visual Novel]]. A fighting game based on it, called [[Melty Blood]], came eventually, and it had its own storyline. Unfortunately, Tsukihime is made up of two different sets of routes, 'Near Side' and 'Far Side', and each set gives practically no development at all to half the cast, who get their development in routes in the other set. But all the characters have to appear in Melty Blood, so what's the solution? The game follows the Sacchin Route, a route that does not actually exist involving the main character's [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] actually [[Demoted to Extra|surviving the game]] while everyone else gets their problems solved. It's weird. If they ever remake Tsukihime, maybe there would be an actual Sacchin Route to explain how any of this makes sense.
* In ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 2]]'', Ruby Heart, a pirate with an [[Cool Ship|interdimensional, time-traveling, flying ship]], was created to be a neutral protagonist between the Marvel and Capcom sides.
* ''[[Breath of Fire]] IV'' had a "good ending" and a "bad ending" based on whether {{spoiler|Ryu ultimately agrees or disagrees with [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]] Fou-lu that [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]] - which is complicated by the fact that Ryu and Fou-lu are two halves of a [[Physical God]] who was [[Split At Birth]] due to a botched summoning, and the choice made dictated how the resulting [[Split Personality Merge]] would go}}. In the recently completed [[Comic Book Adaptation]] of the game by Mag Garden, they manage to include both endings - {{spoiler|first going to what ''appears'' to be the "bad ending", then having Ryu conduct a [[Battle in the Center of the Mind]] with Fou-lu, culminating in his use of [[Memento MacGuffin|Mami's bells]] in what amounts to a [[Humans Are Special]] psychic bitchslapping, thus forcing the initial [[Split Personality Merge]] apart, ''then'' going through the "good ending" sequence}}.
** As if this weren't enough, then the manga then takes this trope ''very'' literally with an ultimate THIRD ending {{spoiler|where Ryu and Fou-lu split ''again'', Fou-lu is basically [[Brought Down to Normal]], and the two live/hide out as monks at the Chek monastery where Fou-lu is basically trying to learn why Ryu thinks [[Humans Are Special]].}} The latter resulted in [[And There Was Much Rejoicing|Much Rejoicing]] in Japan, among others.
* ''[[Alpha Centauri|Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri]]'' is the unofficial sequel to ''[[Civilization]]'', picking up from where that game left off - when the spaceship reaches Alpha Centauri. However, while in Civilization the starship would be built by one nation (it's one of the win conditions), the starship in Alpha Centauri was a United Nations project sponsored by several nations.
