[[folder:Super Robot Wars Alpha]]
* The [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Titans]] keep trying to jack [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars2 Divine Crusader]] hardware as a means of keeping it and the [[Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross SDF-1]] as a whole, so as to prevent themselves from being screwed over later. This backfires horribly because the heroes keep beating them up, and the Zentradi, [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Angels]], and Aerogaters showing up really doesn't help their cause. But really, it's because [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Trieze Khusrenada]] doesn't like [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Jamitov Hymen]]; he even runs interference for the SDF-1 at one point.
** [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Jerid Messa]] and his squad always seem to be the ones sent after [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion NERV and the Evangelions]]. [[ButtMonkey Someone really doesn't like that guy]].
* The Zeta Gundam is based off of data from the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Wing Gundam]]. Similarly, the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket NT-1]] is a prototype used to test the linear seat cockpit system for the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Nu Gundam]].
* Shin Manga/GetterRobo [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dinKjOjoTDY shows off its power]] by wiping out [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Bardiel possessing Unit-03]] with a [[SphereOfDestruction Stoner Sunshine]], thus allowing Touji to survive intact and lessen Shinji Ikari's HeroicBSOD.
** The other Angels are fellow beings that had cast off the form of humanity from the [[Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross Protoculture]].
* [[Anime/CombattlerV The Campbellians]] and the [[Anime/VoltesV Bozanians]] are effectively vassal states of the Aerogaters/Balmarians. The Jupiter Empire (a combination of [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam the Zanscare Empire]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91 the Crossbone Vanguard]]) and [[Anime/{{Dancougar}} Shapiro Keats]] ally with them in an attempt to take over Earth.
* [[Anime/CombattlerV Garuda]] realizes he's just a robot his mother made for Euzeth Gozzo.
* Euzeth uses [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Ingram Prisken]] to influence [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo Ikari]] into reading the Dead Sea Scrolls.
* Jamitov and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Gihren Zabi]] are secretly using each other to springboard their own plans for space/global domination, while overtly opposing each other with paper resistance.
* The [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam AEUG]]/[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Karaba]] become a legitimately recognized military unit under the 13th Autonomous Corps [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Londo Bell]] designation, and are more or less given immunity from harassment by being made part of the SDF-1 forces (or such is the idea), and [[Anime/VoltesV Generals Oka]] and [[Anime/{{Dancougar}} Igor]] are their allies in the [[TheFederation Earth Federation]], obstructing the Titans from screwing them over.
* Before the mass-produced Evangelions show up, [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Asuka Soryu Langley]] destroys the remaining [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Titans]]. When the Evangelions defeat her and the Unit-02, Shinji and the Alpha Numbers arrive to [[CurbStompBattle turn the tables against them]].
* [[Anime/GreatMazinger Archduke Gorgon]] received the Gilgilgan from Ingram. It turns out that Gilgilgan is a creature the Aerogaters created out of a captured [[Anime/{{Gunbuster}} Space Monster]].
* [[Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross Roy Fokker]] is given an option to show the Zentradi the meaning of romance, courtesy of [[HoYay sucking face with Kaifun of all people]] (out of a possible list of three candidates: Hikaru Ichiyjo, Kaifun, and Lynn Minmei).
* At one point, the [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Third Angel]] is making short work of Neo-Tokyo 3 when a man in a snappy suit and a cigar steps out, and manages to fight the Godzilla-sized monster to a standstill with his bare hands. That man is [[Manga/GiantRobo Alberto the Shockwave]]. He also does this to a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Jegan]] piloted by a Federation {{mook}} and destoys it.
* [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGaiden Mio Sasuga]] makes a cameo in this game.
* The Titans survive past the death of [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Paptimus Scirocco]]; in fact, Scirocco never takes over the Titans. Being a plant for the Jupiter Empire, he takes his followers from within the Titans (Sarah Zabirov and Yazan Gable among them) and defects back to the Jupiter/Balmar alliance late in the game.
* Though ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack'' characters and units appear, none of the plot elements do. Instead, all of what would be Char Aznable's Neo-Zeon characters and mobile suits are deployed by either [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Haman Karn's Neo-Zeon]] or Gihren's [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Principality of Zeon]]. To fully illustrate the chronological clusterfuck that is the Universal Century Gundam continuity here, Puru Two pilots the Alpha Aziel in defense of the [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Gryps Colony Laser]] at [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam A Baoa Qu]].
* [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Bernard Monsha]] is assigned to train [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Usso Ewin]] in space combat. He loses to Usso in a simulator match.

[[folder:Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden]]
* The Titans try to [[GrandTheftPrototype jack]] the Anime/CombattlerV and Shin Getter Robo, but fail.
* [[Anime/TurnAGundam Gym Ghingham]] blames [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro Ray]] and Char for causing the Black History.
** Not exactly: what Gym said is because of the heroes of the past, specifically Amuro and Char, the Black History came to happen. Admittedly, the Black History was a bit different hereā€¦
* [[Anime/{{Xabungle}} The Innocents]] somehow manages to get a hold of [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Rosamia Badam]] and Puru Two, forcing them onto their side.
* [[Anime/TurnAGundam Guin Sard Lineford]] uses the [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Psyco Gundam]] and calls it the "Black Doll", a ShoutOut to the ''Turn A'' novelization where he does the same.
* [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Jamil Neate]] and Gym once fought together (notably, Jamil allied himself with the [[Anime/TurnAGundam Moonrace]]).
* [[Manga/GetterRobo The Dinosaur Empire]] are mortal enemies with the Ancestors, as well as the Getters.
* Minmei is held hostage by Jamitov, so she could give support to his coup d'etat of the Earth Federation Army.
* The Moon Cradle is the home of [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX D.O.M.E.]]
* Bernard Monsha is asked to serve as combat instructor to [[Anime/TurnAGundam the Earth Militia]]. [[RunningGag He loses to Sochie Heim in mock battle]].
* The Breakers and Vultures are hired guns of the Gallia and Ameria Innocent factions.
* Ennil El's father was murdered by the Innocents.
* The [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Vertigo's]] Bits attack is based off of funnel technology. Likewise, the G-Bits are apparently a fusion of Gundam and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Mobile Doll]] tech.
* The Machine Cells are the Earth-based version of the Aerogater's Zyflud crystals.
* The post-Black History earth has very low prana, stunting the effectiveness of the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsEX Masou Kishin mechs]].
** Speculation: though the [[Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine Aura Battlers]] aren't in ''Alpha Gaiden'', since Byston Well tech runs on a similar premise, it can be safely assumed they would fare poorly as well.
* The Earth Cradle was a halfway finished backup plan of [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsClassic Bian Zoldark's]] that was scrapped, and later continued by the [[Anime/{{Braiger}} Nubia Connection]] for its leader, Khamen Khamen. Khamen uses it in case his operation to blow up Jupiter gets royally screwed. The Ancestors are born as a result of the security system of the Earth Cradle going haywire, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption screwing Khamen over by default]].
* Khamen is on speaking terms with the Moonrace leader [[Anime/TurnAGundam Agrippa Maintainer]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWingEndlessWaltz Dekim Barton]], until he kills both of them when he no longer needs their help.
** In fact, [[AnimalAssassin Dekim dies from a king cobra snake bite]].
* The [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWingEndlessWaltz Mariemeia Army]] is a remnant of the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Organization of Zodiac]] collaborating with the Titans obstensibily to get the remnants of the Romafeller Foundation back into power. In reality, they're lying through their teeth and planning to use [[ColonyDrop Operation Meteor]] to blackmail the Titans and Preventers into submission, and want to subvert Operation Aegis to save themselves and their supporters. The Titans are pretty much doing the same thing.
* [[Anime/TurnAGundam Midgard]] attempts to jack the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory GP-02 Physalis]] (because if Anavel Gato could do it, so can he) for use as a trump card for the Ghingham Army, but is stopped by the Preventers.
* The Innocent and Moonrace are bitter enemies, despite both having fled to space after the Dinosaur Empire ravages the planet.
* General Bat somehow can pilot the Shin Getter Robo. He does so [[{{Determinator}} through sheer determination]]. He actually ''is'' dying while piloting it. This may be a possible ShoutOut to the ''Manga/GetterRobo'' manga, where three Dinosaur Empire soldiers stole the Getter Robo G and were able to pilot it without any real problems.
* [[StartOfDarkness Char's reason]] for {{colony drop}}ping [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Axis]] in ''Alpha 2'' is more or less born out of seeing the records of the Black History. He repeatedly lampshades through the rest of ''Alpha Gaiden'' that he's seriously wondering if humanity really is doomed to eternally screw themselves over and over again, which provides the convenient bridge to his FaceHeelTurn in ''Alpha 2''. Complete with {{Foreshadowing}} during the final fight with Magus: while he said it in "heroic" manner, what he states is basically his plan in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack''.
* The Frost Brothers are pulling off the same scheme on the Moonrace and the Innocents as they did in ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'', which is essentially get both sides to kill each other as payback for them not being picked as anything other than Category-F Newtypes.
* Like in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars3'', if certain requirements are met [[spoiler: [[Characters/MasouKishin Shu Shirakawa]]]] is the TrueFinalBoss. However, if the difficulty is set on Easy, the player will not fight [[spoiler:Shu]] instead, [[spoiler:Shu]] pulls a HeelFaceTurn and stops the incoming shockwave with the [[spoiler:Neo Granzon]].
* After the group is [[spoiler:sent to the future]], [[Anime/MazingerZ Sayaka]] and [[Manga/GetterRobo Musashi]] are rendered MIA for a long time. It's later revealed they are being held hostage by Archduke Gorgon, at which point he desires to use them as human shields. [[Anime/{{Daitarn 3}} Banjou Haran]] coldly and honestly [[GoodIsNotNice declares he doesn't care how many people he'll have to kill, he won't let Gorgon live in this world anymore]]. His delivery is so bitter and cold it forces Gorgon to ''back down'' and hand over Sayaka, Musashi and Daitarn's support crew, no strings attached.
* Egret Fehu seems to know that if the shockwave successfully devastated Earth, the [[Anime/MazingerZ Mycene Empire]], Dinosaur Empire and their army of mechabeasts will attack. As a countermeasure, he baited the Mycene Empire into attacking [[Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross South Atalia]], knowing that [[Anime/GreatMazinger Tetsuya Tsurugi]], the person with the most experience in fighting the Mycene Empire and the best pilot alive, is the only person left on Earth amongst the Alpha Numbers, who will defend the place. As a result, he used his battle data as a reference for his project that results in the creation of the [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Machinery Children]].

[[folder:Super Robot Wars Alpha 2]]
* The [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Zonder]] forces try to go after [[Anime/BrainPowerd Orphan]], who are deathly afraid of the Zonder.
** They also try to go after [[Anime/MazingerZ Photon Power Labs]]. They avoid the [[Manga/GetterRobo Getter Rays]] because it causes living beings to evolve, something the Zonders consider an abomination.
* [[Anime/{{Daitarn 3}} Koros]] tries to convince Gai Shishioh and [[Anime/KotetsuJeeg Hiroshi Shiba]] into joining the Meganoids.
* [[Anime/{{Daitarn 3}} Don Zauser]] gets infected by the Zonder.
* [[Anime/GaoGaiGar The Dividing Driver]] is used to set up the final battle with [[Manga/GetterRobo Emperor Gore and the Dinosaur Empire]].
* [[Anime/{{Daitarn 3}} Benmel]], a Meganoid General, somehow found the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Quin Mantha]] and put it in his collection because he figures it's worth it just to learn of the Mantha's backstory.
** Benmel also wants to collect the [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Mother Vanguard]] and Amuro and [[Anime/MazingerZ Kouji Kabuto's]] robots.
* [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Anavel Gato]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Zechs Merquise]], [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Crux Dogatie]] and Haman goes [[VillainTeamUp along with Char's plan to drop Axis or Orphan]] (the latter if the protagonist agrees with Haman's ceasefire) onto the Earth.
* [[Anime/{{Gaiking}} The Dark Horror Army]] ally with the [[Anime/{{Daimos}} Balmians]].
* While [[Anime/GaogaiGar Pizza]], [[Anime/GoShogun Bundle, Kutnel, Kernagurl]] and Haman can be convinced to join the Alpha Numbers (even [[Manga/GetterRobo Musashi can survive his death]]), ''Alpha'' canon states Haman and Musashi dies. Likewise, [[Anime/VoltesV Heinel]], [[Anime/{{Daimos}} Richter]], and the [[Anime/BrainPowerd Reclaimers]] can also be convinced to fight against the FinalBoss.
* [[Anime/BrainPowerd Hime]] says [[ShutUpHannibal "Shut Up, Char!"]], regarding his UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans reasoning.
* Koros and the Meganoids want Beamlar to help Don Zauser's plans.
* For some reason, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero Yuy]] appears to have the most number of non-generic battle quotes: this includes at least two against Londo Bell members (at the first two stages of [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Arad Balanga's]] route), several against Zechs, the Titans, Zeon and Neo Zeon soldiers, Mechasauruses and Battle Beasts, battleships, [[Anime/KotetsuJeeg Haniwas]], against Newtypes, Haman, Char, Yazan and at least two against [[spoiler:[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Irui Gan Eden]]]]. This is due to Heero's voice actor Creator/HikaruMidorikawa being [[JustForFun/OneOfUs a big [=SRW=] fan]] and occasionally does voicework for the games for ''free'' at times.
* The events in ''Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam'' takes place after the events of ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam'' in ''Alpha''. In Universal Century canon, ''Crossbone'' occurs before ''Victory''.
* Early in Super Robot Wars Alpha 2, the scientists from throughout the Federation are meeting for the first time since the Balmar War, joined by [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Relena]]. They've all been sent with the Taikuu Maryuu as representatives of the Earth in meeting with the new aliens, which call themselves the Balmians, on Mars. The meeting ends in failure, with Richter thinking that the Earthlings poisoned the drinks that killed his father. Richter killed Isamu Ryuuzaki in response.
* The [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam One-Year War]], the Balmar War, and the shockwave from the ultragravitational collapse caused [[Anime/GoShogun Beamlar]] to awaken.
* [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory GP-02]] gets Gundamjacked by Yazan Gable.

[[folder:Super Robot Wars Alpha 3]]
* [[Anime/{{Dancougar}} Emperor Muge Zorbados]] revives the Manga/GetterRobo, Anime/MazingerZ, Anime/GreatMazinger, Anime/{{Gaiking}} and Anime/{{Kotetsu Jeeg}}'s {{Big Bad}}s.
* [[{{Anime/Raideen}} Akira Hibiki]], Gai Shishioh and [[Manga/GetterRobo Ryoma Nagare]] encourage [[Anime/GunBuster Noriko Takaya]] and help her in releasing the Alpha Numbers from the closed space.
* In one MASSIVE HeelFaceTurn, the [[Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon Ide]] decides to spare the universe from genocide.
* [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]] decides to reject his father's ambitions and declares to the world that he is his own person. What follows is Shinji piloting his Eva to fight Gendo who is commanding an unmanned Eva-01.
* [[Manga/GetterRobo Getter Rays]], [[Anime/GaoGaiGar The Power]], [[Anime/GoShogun Beamler]], [[PsychicPower Psychodrivers]], the [[Anime/{{Gunbuster}} STMC]], [[Anime/{{Macross 7}} Anima Spiritia]] and the [[Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon Ide]] are all aspects of the Akashic Records (which is really fate).
* [[Anime/{{Dancougar}} Shapiro Keats]] somehow survived the end of the Aerogators in Alpha 1 to reappear in Alpha 3.
* The [[Anime/{{Dancougar}} Muge Empire]] team up with the [[Anime/CombattlerV Campbellians]] and [[Anime/VoltesV Bozanians]]
* The only villain that is directly compared to the BigBad Keiser Ephes is [[Anime/{{Dancougar}} Emperor Muge Zorbados]].
* When [[Anime/GunBuster Noriko and Kazumi]] are going to explain the spec of the Eltrium, Ryusei mistakenly recall it as [[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Nani? Naze? Top!]]. Raideese correct him that it's ''Science Corner'' and turn out that Rai has watch lot of mecha anime recently, in hope to understand Ryusei better.
* An ActorAllusion happens with ''Virtual-On''[='=]s debut and Chief, Chief's voice actor. Atsuki Tani was [[VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved Master Chief's]] Japanese Voice Actor.
* Apharmd the Hatter, also from ''Virtual-On'' is voiced by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, the sound designer for ''Virtual-On Marz''. Mitsuyoshi is most well known as a music composer and singer for Sega, his most famous work being for ''VideoGame/DaytonaUSA'', which is referenced by the Hatter in one of his attacks wherein he shouts "''ROLLING STAAAAAAAAAAART!''"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tropes]]
* TheDanza: Rio is voiced by Creator/RioNatsuki.
* DummiedOut: The SRX, [=RyuKoOh=]/[=KoRyuOh=], [[Manga/GetterRobo Texas Mack]] and a few other units are in the files of ''Alpha Gaiden'', and are usable if players cheat in the game.
* FanTranslation: Done by Aeon Genesis for ''Alpha Gaiden'' - still something of an ObviousBeta, as admitted by the creator[[note]]The current version is listed as "0.95"[[/note]], but the game is playable from start to finish, despite some bugged text strings (And some stuff like "Critical" not being translated to English, for one). However, it's generally agreed the work is accurate to the original translation, even pulling a PragmaticAdaptation to keep a joke from ''Anime/CombatMechaXabungle'' intact. Meanwhile, Aeon Genesis is still progressing with an ''Alpha'' [[https://aeongenesis.net/projects/srwalpha translation]].
* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: ''VideoGame/SuperRobotSpirits'' sold roughly 10,000 units in Japan and was a NoExportForYou. Many players never knew Levi Tolar made her debut in ''Spirits'' when she appeared in ''Alpha''.
* TheOriginalDarrin: Makoto Kousaka reprises her role as Mari Sakurano after being replaced by Kiyoko Shibata in the 2nd half of ''Anime/{{Raideen}}''.
* TheOtherDarrin:
** [[Anime/{{Braiger}} Isaac]] is voiced by Creator/RyotaroOkiayu due to Creator/KazuyukiSogabe retiring from voice acting due to noticing strain in his voice (yes, ''Alpha Gaiden'' was released before Sogabe's death at 2006). This in turn has an effect on Creator/KiyoyukiYanada standing in for Sogabe's other character, [[Anime/{{Daimos}} Kyoshiro Yuzuki]], starting from his voiced debut at ''Alpha 2''.
** In ''Alpha 3'', [[Anime/{{Daimos}} Nana Izumi]] is not voiced by Youko Kuri but Creator/KonamiYoshida, who would voice another Ryuuzaki [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsT that would appear in another]] ''Super Robot Wars'' title much later after the ''Alpha'' saga concluded.
* {{Promoted Fan|boy}}girl: Natsuki Katou, the voice actress for [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha3 Luria Kayitz]] in ''Alpha 3'', admitted to being a big fan of ''Gundam Wing'' in general, specifically [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero Yuy]]. This is why Heero and Luria have a special battle quote together, despite little-to-no meaningful interaction between the two within the game itself.
* VaporWare: To say people have waited a long time for the ''Alpha'' FanTranslation is an {{Understatement}} - as of 2021, work remains at roughly 65% completion.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Quite a few, mostly revealed by Banpresto around the time of ''Alpha 3'' and during the production of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ''.
** Originally, Banpresto wanted ''[[Anime/GaoGaiGar King of Braves GaoGaiGar]]'' from the start, with ''Alpha'' covering the first-half of the series, ''Alpha 2'' the second-half, and ''Alpha 3'' covering ''[[Anime/GaoGaiGarFinal King of Braves GaoGaiGar FINAL]]'' (''Alpha Gaiden'' wasn't part of the original plan).
** They also wanted to bring back ''Anime/GiantRobo'' in ''Alpha 3'', with an original storyline where Big Fire tries to get his hands on Irui and ends up with the [[spoiler:Nashim Gan Eden]]. Unfortunately, the creator Mitsuteru Yokoyama died in April 15, 2004 during the game's development, and his estate raised the prices on the licenses. And what we mean by "licenses" is, the supporting cast (i.e., the characters from Yokoyama's other works) suddenly had their licenses tacked onto the ''Giant Robo'' license by the estate holders. This meant Banpresto would've had to pay for ''Giant Robo'' itself, THEN pay extra just to use the supporting cast. In short, the series became more expensive because it now was a collection of separate licenses instead of one single license. This led to them scrapping their plan, and ''Giant Robo'' has not been in a ''Super Robot Wars'' game since.
** Incomplete sprites for practically all the mecha from ''Manga/GundamSentinel''[[note]]Including the S Gundam, Ex-S Gundam, Zetaplus A1 and C1, FAZZ, Xeku Eins, Xeku Zwei, Gundam Mk-V and Z'od-iacok[[/note]] can be found on the disc of ''Alpha 3'': for ages, fans [[EpilepticTrees speculated]] that ''Sentinel'' was removed in favor of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' (which WordOfGod admitted was added due to Bandai's insistence) until the same sprites were also found on the ''Alpha 2'' disc. The only remnant of the story in either game is the Refined Barzam, which was used over the original ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'' version.
** The songs from ''Anime/Macross7'' were originally planned to be fully voiced and not just a line or two. Sadly, WordOfGod dropped that when they realized that licensing the music from the show is apparently more expensive than the ''entire'' series itself.
** Just the general fact that the first game was ''not only'' just being considered but ''substantially worked on'' for a localization at one point. International fans were so close to having this series in the franchise in English. You can blame Harmony Gold for that one.
** The first Alpha game was supposed to be launched on the Dreamcast (The same version that was planned to go outside of Japan as mentioned above) on July 26, 2001. But it was changed to August 30, 2001 so that Banpresto can have enough time to go over the gameplay and make sure no bugs are present.
