The Cutting Room Floor
The Cutting Room Floor is a site dedicated to unearthing and researching unused and cut content from video games. From debug menus, to unused music, graphics, enemies, or levels, many games have content never meant to be seen by anybody but the developers — or even meant for everybody, but cut due to time/budget constraints.
Feel free to browse ourcollection of games and start reading. Up for research? Try looking atsome 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. If you want to help keep this site running and help further research into games,feel free to donate.

After a previous attempt at making a third instalment of theFallout series, nicknamed "Van Buren", would end up going nowhere (and its developer Black Isle Studios shutting down not so long afterward), the series was in need of serious help. Thankfully Bethesda Softworks, who were hot off the success of itsThe Elder Scrolls series, would take up the reins by developing aFallout 3 of their own. Despite the shared name, both games have very little to do with each other.
Fallout 3 would release to positive reception, but it is often surpassed by its Obsidian Entertainment-developedfollowup in the eyes of many fans.
Being a western RPG, there are more than a few screws loose and a couple of unused parts they forgot to take out of the box. The game's dedicated modding kit,G.E.C.K., makes it easy for anyone to play around with the game and view its unused content with ease.

Pokémon Stadium 2 is essentiallyPokémon Stadium with251 Pokémon, new mini-games, and a couple of new features.
Found among the mugshots of the trainers and Gym Leaders is a set for Pichu, of all things. It was likely used for testing, though the idea of Pichu leading a team of Pokémon is a cute thought.
