The Cutting Room Floor
The Cutting Room Floorはテレビゲームにおいてゲーム内には登場しなかったコンテンツを各ゲームごとにまとめるためのウェブサイトです。デバッグメニュー、未使用の音楽、グラフィック、敵の情報やレベルに関すること至るまで、多くのゲームには、開発者以外には誰の目にも触れることがなかったデータや、予算/時間などを理由に表舞台に立つことのなかったデータが存在しています。
Feel free to browse our collection of games and start reading. Up for research? Try looking at some stubs and see if you can help us out. Just have some faint memory of some unused menu/level you saw years ago but can't remember how to access it? Feel free to start a page with what you saw and we'll take a look.

Perfect Dark
Developer: Rare
Publisher: Rare (US/EU), Nintendo (JP)
Released: 2000, Nintendo 64
Perfect Dark was a bit of a sleeper hit on the N64. Critically acclaimed, yet the game suffered from poor performance due to being more resource intensive that what the N64 could provide at the time. Was this the fault of the N64 being less-than-capable, or of the developers not taking into account the limitations of the console they were developing for? Either way, the 2010 re-release on the Xbox 360 solved the resource problems, allowing people to enjoy the game how it was meant to be played.
There's a wealth of unused content though, including models, leftovers from Goldeneye 007, unused music, and unused text.
