Line 63:
** On the subject of Final Fantasy, there's Chocobo's Dungeon 2, an iteration in the Mystery Dungeon series. The US got 2 first, but it ''wasn't re-numbered.''
* ''Growlanser Generations'' is a compilation of second and third game in the ''Growlanser'' series. ''Growlanser: Heritage of War'' is the fifth.
* ''Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken'' (''The Sword of Flame'') was the first ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' game officially released in English, leading to the confusing retitling of the game to simply ''Fire Emblem'' (no subtitle) only to retcon it back to being ''Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade'' in ''[[Fire Emblem Heroes]]'' over a decade afterwards. This is noteworthy considering the original game for the Famicom, ''Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryu to Hikari no Ken'' (''The Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light''), was released in 1990, 13 years before the series' English debut in 2003. ''The Sword of Flame'' is actually the second GBA game in the series and the seventh installment overall. Adding further confusion, ''The Sword of Flame'' is actually a prequel to the previous GBA game, ''Fuuin no Tsurugi'' (''The Sword of Seal''), which was never released internationally (despite the appearance of that game's protagonist, Roy, in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]. Melee'').
* ''[[Cosmic Fantasy]] 2'' was the first of the series of four games to be released outside Japan, and also the last, as it turned out.
* ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'' was the first game in that series to be released in PAL territories as well, and they dropped the numbers to hide that fact.
Line 126:
* The ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'' NES game was actually a localization of ''Hokuto no Ken 2'' for the Famicom.
* The game released internationally by Maxis under the title ''A-Train'' was actually the third game of the long-running series. The original game was Japan-exclusive, but the second game had previously been released in the US as ''Railroad Empire''.
