History Trivia / SenkoNoRonde

** The game's sequel, ''Senko no Ronde: Dis-United Order'', was never released outside of Japan for UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}}, likely due to the harsh criticisms it received in the West, often citing ItsShortSoItSucks and having issues with the controls combined with [[GuideDangIt the lack of any in-game tutorials]] to play the game, much dismay to Western fans. [[FromBadToWorse To make things even worse]], it is also region-locked, meaning anyone without a Japanese Xbox 360 will have to import one to play the game. This however changed in 2017 as an updated reboot of ''Dis-United Order'' under the name ''Senko no Ronde 2'' was announced for [=PlayStation=] 4 and PC via Steam overseas.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally, due to being a Sega NAOMI arcade game, it was supposed to be ported to the ill-fated UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast, but it was brought to the Xbox 360 instead.

Because of the hardware shift, G.rev had to rework the original game engine from 480p to 720p due to Microsoft mandating every Xbox 360 game must be at least 720p resolution.
