* The Game Boy Advance rhythm game ''Rhythm Tengoku'' was never released outside of Japan. However, its Nintendo DS sequel, ''Rhythm Tengoku Gold'', was released in North America as ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', and in Europe as ''Rhythm Paradise''.
* The very first game in the ''[[Metal Gear]]'' series barely averted this. Whereas the original MSX2 version of ''[[Metal Gear 1987]]'' wasn't released in America, American players still managed to get the game in the form of its now-infamous [[Adaptation First|NES port]]. ''[[Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake]]'' on the other hand was only released in Japan, and that was during the twilight days of the MSX2. It didn't even get an overseas release until [[Embedded Precursor|its inclusion]] in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater|Metal Gear Solid 3]]: [[Updated Rerelease|Subsistence]]''.

''Pop'n Twinbee'' was later released in the PAL region for the SNES. The second arcade game, ''Detana!! Twinbee'', also saw an overseas release as ''Bells & Whistles'', while the PC Engine port eventually got an overseas release via the [[Virtual Console]] (albeit, untranslated). The original ''Twinbee'' arcade game was also included on the [[Nintendo DS]] compilation ''Konami Classic Series: Arcade Hits'' under the name of ''Rainbow Bell''.
