* DuelingWorks: ''Valkyrie no Bōken: Toki no Kagi Densetsu'' had to contend with being released the same year as ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'' and ''VideoGame/DragonQuestI'', both of which heavily defined the JRPG genre in Japan. While ''Valkyrie'' largely distinguishes itself as a standalone work and was enough of a hit that it's still a well-loved classic (in part because it was released for a budget price compared to other Famicom [=RPGs=]), it obviously suffered from NoExportForYou while ''Zelda'' became an immediate international phenomenon and ''Dragon Quest'' was a domestic cash-cow and [[LateExportForYou eventual international success]].
