The fifth and final volume of the PS1 Namco Museum series worldwide unless you live in Japan for Encore. Out goes the remaining common arcades, and in comes the obscure ones in their full glory.

Unused Graphics

As the corresponding NG page blocks the view button and is censored for copyright reasons courtesy of Toho, this graphic depicting Godzilla and Mothra goes unused.

The graphic above was originally divided into nine 256×256 pieces with 8×8 green bars on each of them (right and bottom).

Regional Differences

International releases replace the Valkyrie door sign with just a generic font of the title. The Chana library retains the Japanese logo.

Likewise, the Direct Menu's Valkyrie logo is replaced with a translation of a graphic more similar to that game's title screen. The same applies with the Slide Show menu.

In the Chana/Library area, the second half of the original Labyrinth of Chana, the bonus Chana Gaiden, and the Dragon Spirit manga are absent in the international releases, leaving empty spots:

That said, their untranslated files still remain in the overseas versions, albeit unused.
