* In the [[UsefulNotes/{{S|uperNintendoEntertainmentSystem}}NES version of the game, Sculptured Software continued its tradition of humorous credits, including a parody "special thanks" list titled, "People We Owe No Thanks To". The people thanked include three famous figures, namely Music/ElvisPresley, Creator/HowardHughes, and [[Music/TheDoors Jim Morrison]]. The other two names on the list are probably just shout-outs to more personal friends of the developers.

* Fitting for his new background as a member of the yakuza, Kenshi's suit alternates contain a fair amount of references to the ''VideoGame/LikeADragon'' series. Two such alternates give him a darker grey variant of the outfit worn by the series' old protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, while another grants him a brighter red color reminiscent of newer protagonist Ichiban Kasuga.
