Trivia / The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge

• Creator-Driven Successor: The overall structure of the game was taken from Devil May Cry. In turn, Devil May Cry 4 and Bayonetta implemented ideas that their developers previously used on this game.
• No Dub for You: Japanese version only. Despite being developed by a well-known Japanese studio and having an established Japanese dub cast that was used for both the movie and the characters' appearance in the Kingdom Hearts series, the game was recorded exclusively in English, with no Japanese dub to speak of, despite being released in Japan first by nearly a whole year!
• No Export for You: The Xbox version was never released in Japan and is exclusive to North American and European releases.
• The Other Darrin: Several cast members from the original film were either too busy to reprise their role or were deceased.
