(again sorry for the late reply to this)
This statement isn't true either. I know because at the time in question,
We flat out asked a couple of Konami executives at a tradeshow exactly
what it would take for them to license a U.S. release of Dracula X for
the TG-CD. We were told that any company seriously wanting to port
the game for U.S. release could for all they cared, BUT, they would have
to comit "up front" to a rediculous production run guarentee of something
insane, I think it was like 20,000 copies (I don't remember the exact
number this many years later, I'm sorry, deal with it). We sat down at a
table and did up the math with them and it was going to cost such a
rediculous amount that we through up our hands and dropped the idea.
