* The [[Metroidvania]] genre is hugely popular in the West, but only a niche genre in Japan. In addition to ''[[Metroid]]'' and ''[[Castlevania]]'' themselves, games like ''[[Blaster Master]]'' and ''[[Cave Story]]'' have also been subject to this trend.
* While the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' elements of ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' were played up to sell it overseas to traditional RPG fans, the project sprang up as a game starring Mickey Mouse and was always intended to use the Disney elements to appeal to the massive Japanese fanbase that includes adults.
Line 102 ⟶ 121:
* [[Sweet Home]] is an obscure Japanese RPG based of the movie of the same name and was almost forgotten. In the US, a high amount of interest surged after it was discovered to be a huge inspiration for [[Resident Evil]].
* While the [[Nintendo 64]] and [[Game Cube]] were beat by their [[PlayStation]] rivals worldwide, they were both even less popular in Japan than they were in North America and Europe. It was very often when the Playstation 1 and/or 2 version of a game got a Japanese release while the N64/Gamecube version stayed in North America and Europe (sometimes, even North America only).
