A great many copies of Zone of the Enders appeared on "pre-owned" shelves of major gaming stores when the full version of Metal Gear Solid 2 was released. Because of this association, initial sales figures can be considered misleading as many buyers simply wanted to play the demo of Metal Gear Solid 2.

The mechas were designed by Yoji Shinkawa, also the character and mechanical designer for the Metal Gear Solid games.
