** {{Macross 7}} was also considered for inclusion in R, but the design team couldn't figure out a way to make the "attack with music" system work in ''A.C.E.''. They ended up replacing it with ''MacrossFrontier'', which caused the game to be delayed about a year while they changed things around.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen - On Banpresto's official blog, WordOfGod said the team's first choice to round out the ZetaGundam cast in R was Four Murasame piloting the Psyco Gundam, but because of game balance concerns and a lack of weapons they ultimately went with Amuro and the Dijeh instead.

** {{Macross 7}} was also considered for inclusion in R, but the design team couldn't figure out a way to make it work, presumably because in its SRW appearances, the main playables are Fire Bomber units, who affect enemy morale, [[spoiler:and in R, most of the enemies you fight are MechaMooks]]). Instead, they went with MacrossFrontier, which caused the game to be delayed about a year while they changed things around.
