Attachment The boss for the Planet Freon in the Japanese version looks like a cat monster. This was changed to a frost monster in the International version, as the cat monster is a reference to a Japanese Idiom. A person who doesn't like hot or spicy food can be said to have a "cat tongue", which is why you throw hot soup in his mouth to hurt him.

Attachment Originally there was a cannon icon that would appear whenever Kirby was on a cannon. Even though this was cut from it's original purpose, the cannon icon can still be found by using the Mix ability: it can be seen during the roulette selection of abilities using an emulator's frame-by-frame advance feature. Oddly enough, it remains used in the French version.

While the Gundam Battle Assault series was originally an American market-based series and later localized for Japanese audiences, the third and last game, based on SEED, was never released in Japan. This is strange considering that Gundam SEED at the time was the most popular Gundam series in the franchise and revitalized it in Japan while in America it was less well-received.

In the American release of the game, 40 cards out of approximately 350 were censored, as they were deemed "too sexual".

When asked about the reasoning behind it, Idea Factory responded, "Western society is not as lenient as that of Japan when sexual images are involved - especially images of humanoids that appear to be younger than a socially acceptable age."

Attachment The PAL release of the game was known as "Starwing" instead of Star Fox. The reason for this was to avoid similarities with a German company called StarVox since F is pronounced liked a V in German, which would have caused confusion for German players.

The PAL release of the game was titled Digimon World 2003, possibly due to Digimon World 2 never receiving a PAL release. However, in these copies of the game, the game continues after the player has defeated the final boss, whereas the North American version of the game simply ends.
