Miscellaneous Trivia

The Compact trilogy is the only place where the first opening song to Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, "Zeta - Toki wo Koete", is ever used in the Super Robot Wars franchise, coming not long before the ambiguous legal issues that make the song extremely rare to find in 21st century Gundam games.
On another musical note, this is the first Super Robot Wars installment to feature the opening song for Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket; in prior games and Super Robot Wars Alpha, the series used music from the original Mobile Suit Gundam instead of its own.

Dummied Out:
- The WonderSwan games have unused data for the Hi-Nu Gundam and Nightingale in what would have been their debuts for Super Robot Wars. They can be seen here.
- Earth Crisis retained the Super Robot Wars Compact rendition of "Silent Voice" from Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ as the series' Leitmotif, but it's never heard in-game as there are no Gundam ZZ characters playable in Earth Crisis. Cosmoquake would opt to replace it with a rendition of "Anime Ja Nai", which carries over into Galaxy Showdown.
The Other Darrin: After being voiced by Kenyuu Horiuchi in Complete Box, Kōichi Yamadera would become the de-facto voice for Duke Fleed starting with Impact.
What Could Have Been: Allegedly, some of the unused unit data in the WonderSwan games include the Cybuster, Huckebein, Grungust, and R-1, suggesting that the project was going to have multiple original "series" like the Alpha saga or possibly even be a fully-Original Generation-centric game well before Super Robot Wars: Original Generation.
