Interest in the game spread by word-of-mouth, turning the game into a Sleeper Hit on both PC and the handful of Xbox consoles in Japan.
However, without Region Coding on the console, Japanese gamers could still play Morrowind in English via Import Gaming. Xbox sales tanked in East Asia, and the powers that be had a case of And You Thought It Would Fail. After Microsoft released the Xbox in Japan, American gamers received the third installment, Morrowind. Bethesda's earlier Elder Scrolls installments ended up becoming this in Japan after the fact.It took 13 years for Europe to finally get both missing games via an HD compilation of the first three games, thus improving the status to Remade for the Export. Unfortunately, Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City wasn't so lucky, as the original version wasn't made available in the region either and there was no remake or rerelease to make up for that. In the case of Etrian Odyssey, the original version of Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard wasn't released there, but its 3DS remake was. The games they license for translation from other companies though, like Summon Night or Super Robot Wars for the Game Boy Advance, are still without European localization. Their in-house games are great, as other companies pick them up sometimes (like Nintendo with Trauma Center). There is no Atlus Europe so any game they make or translate has a hard time coming there.The Evenicle series is also being brought to the US, with the first game released in 2018 and the second will be released sometime in 2020/2021. Beat Blades Haruka was later set to receive an official localization, and their flagship Rance series has been picked up by Manga Gamer for official English localization (all titles from 5D up to Rance X are planned for English release).
AliceSoft even blocked off their website to any and all foreigners. Few of the AliceSoft games have historically made it in the US due to their controversial nature.These examples are sorted by company name.
