I think "Late Export For You" is better since Europe and Japan got both games eventually. Also, Gems Collection wasn't the first time Japan saw an official release.


* NoExportForYou: Even though the Mega Drive/Genesis was a Japanese console, neither of the ''Vectorman'' games were released in Japan on cartridge. In fact, they weren't released over there at all until ''[[CompilationRerelease Sonic Gems Collection]]'' was released over there on August 11, 2005. While Europe and Australia got the first ''Vectorman'' on cartridge, they didn't get ''Vectorman 2'' in any form until ''Sonic Gems Collection'' was released in PAL regions on September 30, 2005. ''Vectorman 2'' was only released in North America on cartridge format.
