* TroubledProduction: The English version of ''Princess Maker 2'' was all set to be published by Intracorp in 1995, but the publisher went under not long after.

Thankfully, a fully-translated version of the UpdatedRerelease ''Princess Maker 2 Refine'' was released in September 2016 by CFK on Steam.
