RH Wiki:Pre-Release, Unused, Regional Content: Difference between revisions

{{Nihongo|Example}}: The fact that the sign used to hide the hairs in [[Rhythm Tweezers 2|Rhythm Datsumo]] in [[Remix 8 (GBA)|Remix 8]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' also exists, unchanged, in [[Rhythm Tweezers 2|Rhythm Datsumo]], [[Remix 1 (GBA)|Remix 1]], [[Rhythm Datsumo 2]], [[Remix 6 (GBA)|Remix 6]], [[Remix 7 (GBA)|Remix 7]], [[Rhythm Datsumo Tempo Up!|Rhythm Datsumo]] [[File:TempoUpExtra2.png|72px]] and [[Extra Remix]] [[File:TempoUpExtra6.png|72px]], is not worth mentioning. The fact that it was remade and updated with two new variations in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', but goes unused, is.

Some ideas may be seriously considered during parts of development and even have concept art drawn for them, but are subsequently abandoned before even being programmed into the game.

{{Nihongo|Example}}: The basis of [[Ringside]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' stemmed from the idea of cutting of a wedding cake, as while one would be trying to concentrate on the cutting of the cake, wedding guests would take pictures and request the person's attention. The developers thought that the idea of a cake-cutting rhythm game didn't seem too promising and came up with the interview scenario instead<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/rhythmheavenfever/0/2 Iwata Asks - Rhythm Heaven Fever, 3. Wedding Cake and "Ringside".]</ref>. The wedding cake concept was not programmed into the game before being abandoned, but the fact that it was considered at all is still a significant aspect of the game's history and development.

Some games get completely overhauled during development, resulting in the finished products sharing almost nothing with their earlier incarnations. Other games jump from one console to another, and even if the look or gameplay appears to change very little from one platform to the other, it is still a major shift in the game's development.

{{Nihongo|Example}}: [[List of Scrapped Rhythm Games#Rhythm Heaven Megamix|Monster Tennis]] is an unused game originally planned for the Wii<ref>"Wiiリモコンを振って、ボールを打ってネ。" (Shake the Wii Remote, and hit the ball.) ~ Unused Text for Monster Tennis, ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+ Taikenhan]]''</ref>, and was intended to become a side mode in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' on the 3DS, but was ultimately cut from the final game. Nevertheless, the fact that it was created for the Wii is a marked difference from the original plan.

A build closer to the final game may have content not present in the data of the final version. Cut content can often be found in press kit material (screenshots, videos, etc.) or in appearances at conventions such as [[wikipedia:Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3]], the [[wikipedia:Consumer Electronics Show|Consumer Electronics Show]] or the [[wikipedia:Tokyo Game Show|Tokyo Game Show]]. Outdated screenshots in the instruction manual and public demos also fit in this grouping.

{{Nihongo|Example}}: In the Nintendo Direct 2015.4.2 build of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the background in [[Rhythm Tweezers 2]] was green with bright circles<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLlvaX_rRTc Nintendo Direct 2015.4.2 プレゼンテーション映像] (Nintendo Direct 2015.4.2 Presentation video) [Private video]<br>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv68uVhpBOw [Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus<nowiki>]</nowiki> - Trailer] (Reupload of the trailer from the Direct)</ref>. In the final build, the green color was moved to the short version of [[Rhythm Tweezers]], and the circles were removed.

Often, unused assets (sprites, sound files, etc.) remain on the disc.
