It is mentioned that there are over 20 games cut from the game, which are listed below. Some games have remnants in the final game, while others were removed completely. | ||
*{{Nihongo|'''Shibaku'''|『しばく』|Shibaku}} was a [[Rhythm Game]] where the player would press a button to swing a stick, then release it to return the stick back. However, the act of releasing the button to the rhythm was found to be unexpectedly difficult to understand, leading to the game being cut. | *{{Nihongo|'''Shibaku'''|『しばく』|Shibaku}} was a [[Rhythm Game]] where the player would press a button to swing a stick, then release it to return the stick back.

*{{Nihongo|'''Kuma'''|『くま』|Bear}}. This game has leftover sound effects, labeled "s_kuma_hit", "s_kuma_miss" and "s_kuma_sakana" (Sakana meaning "fish"). The last of these was repurposed for [[Iai Giri]]. | *{{Nihongo|'''Kuma'''|『くま』|Bear}}.
