List of Sailor Moon video games

The Sailor Moon video game series is based on Naoko Takeuchi's manga and anime series of the same name. The series was released in Japan during the height of the media franchise's popularity. By 1995, there were ten game releases, each with sales figures of about 200,000 to 300,000.^[1] By 1998, twenty games were released.^[2]

Despite the worldwide popularity of the anime, the vast majority of video games based on the series have never officially been released outside of Asia, outside of a few Europe-exclusive video games.
