1!! Miscellaneous Trivia
2* The ''Compact'' trilogy is the only place where the first opening song to ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'', "Zeta - Toki wo Koete", is ever used in the ''Super Robot Wars'' franchise, coming not long before the ambiguous legal issues that make the song extremely rare to find in 21st century ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' games.
3* On another musical note, this is the first ''Super Robot Wars'' installment to feature the opening song for ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket''; in prior games and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'', the series used music from the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' instead of its own.

6* DummiedOut:
7** The Platform/WonderSwan games have unused data for the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Hi-Nu Gundam and Nightingale]] in what would have been their debuts for ''Super Robot Wars''. They can be seen [[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm30780804 here]].
8** ''Earth Crisis'' retained the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsCompact'' rendition of "Silent Voice" from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ'' as the series' {{Leitmotif}}, but it's never heard in-game as there are no ''Gundam ZZ'' characters playable in ''Earth Crisis''. ''Cosmoquake'' would opt to replace it with a rendition of "Anime Ja Nai", which carries over into ''Galaxy Showdown''.
9* TheOtherDarrin: After being voiced by Creator/KenyuuHoriuchi in ''Complete Box'', Creator/KoichiYamadera would become the de-facto voice for [[Anime/UFORoboGrendizer Duke Fleed]] starting with ''Impact''.
10* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Allegedly, some of the unused unit data in the [=WonderSwan=] games include the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGaiden Cybuster]], [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars4 Huckebein, Grungust]], and [[VideoGame/ShinSuperRobotWars R-1]], suggesting that the project was going to have multiple original "series" like the ''Alpha'' saga or possibly even be a fully-OriginalGeneration-centric game well before ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration''.
