The game was successful enough to get a DS sequel in 2009 and a 3DS one in 2014, but these were both released [[NoExportForYou only in Japan]]. The first game's US release had absolutely no marketing, which led to poor sales there, though a FanTranslation [[http://www.romhacking.net/translations/2217 is available]] for the second game.

* TooLongDidntDub: While the US version fared pretty well on adapting the source material to its target audience, there are still some goofs here and there.

*** ''Cosmic Gate'' on the [[UsefulNotes/{{MSX}} MASA-X]] which, with all the gameplay extras such as actual bosses, could be considered an in-universe PolishedPort, although it suffers from a more limited color palette due to running on a fictional counterpart to the MSX. Interestingly enough, despite the various extras, the in-universe company who made the original game apparently didn't like the end result.

* UnInstallment: Actually the third game in the ''Guadia Quest'' series, released for the UsefulNotes/GameBoy {{Expy}} [=GameComputer=] Mini. This is probably due to the actual [[Series/RetroGameMaster show]]'s tendency to skip over some of the games in the series or having Arino challenge them out of order, as well as the fact that the second ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' (which the series is an obvious homage to) game wasn't as much of a gameplay upgrade over the first one as ''III'' was. Finally, as stated below, this game places more emphasis on the {{Mon}}s, much like the Game Boy-originated spinoff ''VideoGame/DragonQuestMonsters'' did originally.

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:[=GameGuadia=], represented by Arino's disembodied head. It comes in various colors, and is found by searching special tiles on the overworld, either in [[ConspicuouslyLightPatch obvious locations]] or ones hinted at by a girl in Timbuktoo. The stronger ones reward you with both {{Lethal Joke Item}}s and [[InfinityPlusOneSword Infinity+1 Swords]] when defeated. The red [=GameGuadia=] is stronger than the final boss, especially if you attempt to make a pact with it.]]
