* ''[[Final Fight]]'' was original titled ''[[Street Fighter|Street Fighter '89]]'', but was changed after play testers criticized the game of being a [[Dolled-Up Installment]]. Ironically enough, members of the ''Final Fight'' cast would later migrate into the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series.

* ''[[Resident Evil 3 Nemesis]]'' was originally intended as a side-story to the series and was known under a variety of working titles such as "Biohazard Gaiden" (not to be confused with the later Game Boy Color game of the same name), "Biohazard 1.9/2.1" and "Biohazard: Last Escape". The "3" was added to the last title, as Capcom wanted to release a final numbered Resident Evil game before moving on to the next-generation platforms.
