Trivia / Akai Katana

• Late Export for You:
  • The game was released in Japanese arcades in 2010, and would not see a Western release until 2012, when the Xbox 360 version was localized by Rising Star Games.
  • The City Connection release was released on December 15, 2022, for consoles and for Steam, but only the Steam version got released outside of Japan. The Western console versions would be delayed until June 29, 2023 due to a deal with Clear River Games to distribute the physical edition of the game in the West.
• No Export for You: The original CV1000 version of the game, the limited edition version with two extra Arrange Modes, and the NESiCA×Live version were only released in Japan.
• Promoted Fanboy: Alex "trap15" Marshall, who worked on the EXA LABEL edition, is a fan of CAVE games himself.
• Recursive Adaptation: The NESiCA and exA-Arcadia versions for arcades are ports of the Xbox 360 version, featuring modes previously exclusive to it, which in turn is a port of the original game on the CAVE CV1000 hardware. In other words, arcade game → console game → arcade game.
