Did you misunderstand me perhaps? And maybe it doesn't matter, but... This release is for the first game, called Mahou Daisakusen (Raizing/Able), Sorcer Striker is its official western title. I don't know where the hell "Great Magic Strategy" comes from, and old OST rip that's been in circulation? Part two is Shippu Mahou Daisakusen (Raizing/Eighting), Kingdom Grandprix in the west. Part three (and this is where Capcom comes in as a distributor for the first time) is Great Mahou Daisakusen (Raizing/Eighting/Capcom), Dimahoo in the west (a pretty clever pun?).

So as far as I know, the official Japanese romanizations have always been consistent, while localizations (and the unofficial (?) "Great Magic Strategy" translation) add confusion. None of them were hits outside of Japan, so that's probably why they didn't bother to keep the titles coherent througout the series.
