Although released in Japan on August 25, 1995, early in the Sega Saturn's life, Magic Knight Rayearth was the final Saturn game released in the United States, in late 1998. This long localization process was discussed in the game's US manual, where the localizers at Working Design shared details about the process and even acknowledged that it was likely the last Saturn game to be released in the country.
