** The Xbox360 version of ''[[Don Pachi|DoDonPachi: DaiOuJou BLACK Label]]'' ended up being a [[Porting Disaster]]. Why? After an investigation at Arika at [[CAVE]]'s request, the source code was being held by a management company and 5pb., the company in charge of the 360 port, stole the source code from the PS2 version. Normally, a company would sue 5pb. into next week. What did Arika do instead? After an apology from 5pb.'s CEO, Arika's CEO, Ryo Mizutani, forgave them and Arika Vice President Ichiro Mihara is now ''helping 5pb. make a better port of <nowiki>DDP: DOJ</nowiki>.''
* ''[[Thunder Force]] VI'' utilizes two different languages for in-universe text and speech, neither of which are Japanese or English. One of these languages is [[wikipedia:Tangut language|Tangut]], an ancient language somewhat related to Chinese, and the other is Mongolian, an uncommon language to employ as a [[Gratuitous Foreign Language]]. And the even better part? The [[Omake]] material has translations into Japanese and transliterations into katakana and roman characters for the in-game speech.
** ''Thunder Force Gold Pack 2''{{'}}s version of ''Thunder Force IV'' has the Styx from ''Thunder Force III'' available to use, through a secret code. When you play as the Styx, look at the font for the HUD: ''it's the same style of ''Thunder Force III''{{'}}s HUD text.''
* ''[[Gran Turismo]] 5'' appears to be invoking this trope. It has been in development since some time in 2005, and has apparently had ''every'' developer in the employ of Polyphony Digital working on it at the same time, during some of the development cycle anyway. The reason for that? It has ''one thousand individual cars''. Extreme attention to detail is apparently the prime directive of Polyphony.
* Part ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' series. While most of the developers is doing for the money, the enormous and detailed world and back story shows that at least someone put a lot more effort in to the games than they had to.
