I've moved this to "Langrisser" for two reasons. a) "Warsong" sticks out like a sore thumb as every sequel has been called Langrisser, and b) this game was called Langrisser in both Japan and South Korea. That's two regions vs. one. -Black Squirrel 12:34, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

- If that were legit, why isn't there a ROM dump of that version? Also, Rocket Knight Adventures and it's SNES/Mega Drive sequel also don't share similar names. So no reason why the names must be the same.--MathUser 15:32, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
