- Due to this card's text being in Runic, this card is one of only two cards to have ever been banned from the Unlimited format in addition to the Modified format. It shares this distinction with ___'s Pikachu.
- The card's illustrator is also unknown due to the unusual design.
- This card was depicted in The Power of One as the object that started Lawrence III's collection. The card was the only object from his collection still in his possession at the end of the movie.
- Early Japanese prints of the card misspelled "Nintendo" in the understandable text.
- People who attended a Wizards of the Coast event were given a sheet to read the runes. Based on this cheat sheet, the runes in the middle translate as New Species while the ones on the bottom translate as Little God or Evil?. Four symbols in the holographic printing behind Mew were said to stand for Birth, Enthronement, Right of Succession and Death.
- The Weakness and Resistance symbols for Ancient Mew can bee seen on the Xatu totem pole on the cover of the Neo Premium File 2. Due to this, it is possible that Ancient Mew originates from the Ruins of Alph.
