In 2002, Eidos Interactive launched a new label known as "Fresh Games", with the first three games released under said label being Mister Mosquito, Mad Maestro!, and Legaia 2: Duel Saga. The idea behind Fresh Games was to publish titles that otherwise would likely not see a release outside Japan, particularly those best described as "quirky" and "odd". For example, both Mad Maestro! and Mister Mosquito had been praised in magazines, and Eidos felt they deserved a chance to be released worldwide.
