* [[Bad Export for You]]: The NES ''Life Force'' only allows two options per ship (instead of three like its FC counterpart) and lacks the multiple endings from the FC ''Salamander''; its sole ending is a static shot of the Konami logo while the ending theme plays.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: A great many shooters followed the ''Gradius'' powerup system, sometimes expanding it into a between-levels "shop" where points could be exchanged for powerups, other times using it verbatim.
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]:
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]:* The mainline games are fairly good about this, each game from ''Gradius I'' through ''Gradius IV'' having had about 1-3 [[Arcade Perfect Port|Arcade Perfect Ports]], but the ''Solar Assault Gradius'' sub-series never saw a console release (you may be lucky to find one at Chuck-e-Cheese's).
** ''Gradius ReBirth'' can no longer be purchased as of March 2018, due to the Wii Shop Channel no longer allowing purchases. By 2019, you won't be able to redownload it if you already have it.
* [[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros]]:
** Venom made his North American debut in ''V'' in 2005, 18 years after he debuted in the Japan- and Europe-exclusive ''Nemesis 2'' in 1987. Just to add insult to injury, his massive-brain form in this game looks nothing like how he does in the MSX games or in ''ReBirth'' where he's a comparatively normal green humanoid alien.
