Sega Falcom was a short-lived alliance between members of Sega and Falcom in 1991. Only four games were released with the Sega Falcom brand, and the name was dropped by 1995.

Aside from the four games released, Sega Falcom was also tasked with developing Super Brandish and Ys IV: Mask of the Sun for the Mega CD, but while still in early development, both projects were cancelled by Sega for unknown reasons.

Interestingly, Sega Falcom had planned to localise Popful Mail for a western audience as Sister Sonic. The idea was to replace the cast with Sonic characters, including "Sonic's lost sister". Thanks to fan complaints, this idea was scrapped.

Note: while the Master System version of Ys: Ancient Ys Vanished Omen and the Mega Drive version of Sorcerian were ported by Sega, they are not part of the Sega Falcom partnership. Furthermore, the Mega Drive version of Ys III: Wanderers from Ys was ported by Telenet Japan, not Sega.
