** ''VideoGame/RetroGameChallenge'' was brought over solely because they wanted it to be released in the United States. They also brought over all three chapters of the ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky'' trilogy, which is known for having tens of thousands of lines of text...''per game''. Even when no other publisher would touch it, because of the infamously [[BlindIdiotTranslation poor translation]] of the ''VideoGame/GagharvTrilogy''. It's almost impossible to overstate what an achievement this is, releasing an obscure outside of Japan trilogy of games that's more than double the length of ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', comparable to ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' in size and scope on the ''UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable', a long out of date console that promptly tanked in sales, simply because they wanted to bring the games to North America. They proceeded to undergo an equally text-heavy challenge with ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' games on the UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita with the addition of a copious amount of English voice acting.
