{{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. | {{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.

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. | 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. 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. | ||
Note that general differences between versions (such as between [[Karate Man Returns!|Karateka]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' and the remake [[Karate Man Returns!]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'') should be presented in the Gameplay section of the main page rather than in the Unused subpage. | |||
{{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. | {{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.

{{Nihongo|Example}}: ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' at first was entirely focused on drumming, and a prototype was made in 2002. Development of the game officially started in 2004 as a minigame collection, and the original drumming idea evolved into [[Drum Lesson]] in the final game<ref>[https://www.1101.com/nintendo/rythm_heaven2/05.html ほぼ日刊イトイ新聞 - 樹の上の秘密基地。] (Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun - A secret base on a tree.)</ref>. | {{Nihongo|Example}}: ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' at first was entirely focused on drumming, and a prototype was made in 2002.

{{Nihongo|Note}}: Regional differences as big as having an entire game removed (for example, [[Manzai]] being replaced with [[Mr. Upbeat]]) should not be relegated to a subpage. Instead, the removed game should be given a page of its own, and mentioned in relevant lists (such as [[Endless Games]]) while noting that the content is exclusive to one version of the game. Instead, regional differences in the subpage should detail minor changes like a character's design or to compare dubs of sound effects. Names in other languages should remain at the bottom of the main page, while lyrics to [[:Category:Songs|songs]] in other languages shoud remain in tabbers on the main page. | {{Nihongo|Note}}: Regional differences as big as having an entire game removed (for example, [[Manzai]] being replaced with [[Mr. Upbeat]]) should not be relegated to a subpage.
