* ''[[That 70s Show]]'' had the working titles ''The Kids Are Alright'' and ''Teenage Wasteland'', but everyone just kept referring to it as "that '70s show" and the title stuck.

Line 134:

* The codename for the [[Sega Genesis|Genesis 32X]] was "Project Mars", following the Solar System motif of the [[Sega Saturn]] (thus, the unreleased Genesis/32X hybrid would've been the Neptune, which is where the protagonist of ''[[Neptunia]]'' got her name from, by the way).

* Two competing architectures were developed by Sega to become the basis of the [[Sega Dreamcast|Dreamcast]]. One was called [[Katanas Are Just Better]] and the other was called [[Virtua Fighter|Dural]]. Sega decided to use the Dural design, but 3Dfx, the company that made that design's GPU, leaked its specs so they chose the Katana to be the Dreamcast instead.

* [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] was originally called Mr. Needlemouse (a literal translation of the Japanese for "hedgehog"); as a [[Development Gag]], ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4]]'''s [[Working Title]] was "Project Needlemouse".

** The name "[[Sonic Generations]]" was originally thought to be the [[Working Title]] for a new Sonic game, but this has recently been [[Averted Trope]] and confirmed as the game's real name. Considering that Sega registered the domain names of it, this isn't surprising.

** In actuality, this game already had a ''different'' [[Working Title]] before ''Generations'', being marginally leaked as "Sonic Anniversary".

* ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver]]'' were originally known as ''[[Numbered Sequel|Pocket Monsters 2]]: Gold and Silver''.

** ''[[Pokémon Crystal]]'', the [[Updated Rerelease]] to the aforementioned ''[[Pokémon]]'' games, was once known as ''Pokémon X''.

* ''[[Fallout]]'' had a [[Zig-Zagging Trope|weird situation]]. After ''[[Fallout 2]]'', the team created a project for a prequel and codenamed it "Van Buren." Then Black Isle went bust and Van Buren never saw the light of day. After Bethesda bought it up, they made ''[[Fallout 3]]'', which reused nothing from the Van Buren project...and then Bethesda farmed out their ''next'' project, ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'', to Obsidian, the successor studio to Black Isle, who reused a lot of elements from the discarded Van Buren project for ''New Vegas'' and elevated Van Buren to [[Broad Strokes]] canon. However, all the remaining old material is still called Van Buren.

* ''[[Darwinia|Multiwinia]]'' was originally meant to be a working title with users suggesting the title of this game. However, the original stuck.
