** ''Bee Storm'' has never been ported to a home platform.

* LateExportForYou: ''[=SaiDaiOuJou=]'' was Japan-only until 2020[[note]]An Xbox 360 port with no region lock exists. However, it was never officially localized for non-Japan markets.[[/note]], eight years after the original release, when the ''EXA Label'' release was made available internationally. However, given the relative lack of an arcade center industry outside of Japan (not helped by the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic ravaging the world in the meantime, making visting arcades dangerous), good luck finding an arcade that has it, or spending thousands on the hardware.

* NoExportForYou: The first game has a proper US release, and the second has an "International" release. And that's only for arcades; none of the console releases have made their way outside of Japan.

* NoExportForYou:
** The first game has a proper US release, and the second has an "International" release. And that's only for arcades; none of the console releases have made their way outside of Japan.
** Rising Star is set to finally end this trend with a European release of ''[=DaiFukkatsu=]'' (under the English title used for the iPhone game) in November 2011. However, North America shows no sign of getting it.
*** Rising Star has announced that the European release will be compatible with US-NTSC consoles. So North America ''does'' get it... if they're willing to import. However, an EU UsefulNotes/XboxLiveArcade account is needed for the V1.5 and Black Label DLC's. And the Black Label ArrangeMode (aka "Ketsuipachi") is not available outside of Japan.
*** The iOS ports are downloadable in America, however.
*** Degica games will bring over the game (with the english title) to steam in fall 2016 complete with both black label and Ketsui modes.
** The retail version of ''[=DaiFukkatsu=] Black Label''. Although the DLC version of ''Black Label'' is available in the PAL version, which has no region lockout, it does not have the the ''VideoGame/{{Ketsui}}'' {{crossover}} arrange mode that the retail version has.
*** {{Irony}}: The ''Ketsui'' arrange mode's soundtrack was arranged by Creator/JakeKaufman, an ''American'' composer.
*** Eventually averted with the Steam release of ''[=DaiFukkatsu=]'', titled ''[=DoDonPachi=] Resurrection'', which includes Black Label, Black Label Arrange and other modes.
** ''[=SaiDaiOuJou=]'', though at the least it is region-free.
*** Averted with the eXA-Arcadia release of ''[=SaiDaiOuJou Exa Label=]''

* CutSong -- [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY9LTWjcvq0 "Zatsuza"]] from the ''[=DaiFukkatsu=] BLACK Label'' soundtrack was initially thought to be this, but it was revealed that the song plays during the fight against Zatsuza, the [[UpToEleven stronger]] replacement of Hibachi.

*** Potentially averted with the eXA-Arcadia release of ''[=SaiDaiOuJou=]'' Exa Label[[note]]Placeholder name, is most likely subject to change.[[/note]]

* ActorAllusion: If you happen to play as [[Creator/EriKitamura Type-B]] in ''[=SaiDaiOuJou=]'' and was able to get to [[Creator/AoiYuki Hibachi]]'s TrueFinalBoss form, then you may have been able to spoil the entire second half of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' [[ItMakesSenseInContext inversely]] and [[FridgeHorror straight]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_QBisDe2OQ&t=3m20s Go figure]].

** ''Bee Storm'' has never been ported to a home platform.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes; ''[=DoDonPachi=] Campaign Version'', a single board of which was distributed, and to a contest winner. As such, this version is not available in MAME, and if the board becomes damaged beyond repair, this piece of history (and arrange mode of ''[=DoDonPachi=]'') is gone. '''Forever.'''

* DevelopmentHell -- There is a patch for the Xbox 360 version of ''[=DaiOuJou=]'' that fixes the numerous bugs in the game (see PortingDisaster). It took about ''two years'' since the game was released to make; by the time it was out the sequel ''[=DaiFukkatsu=]'' was already ported.
