Nintendo of America appear to have no plans of localizing past games in the series. In a 2009 conference call between Nintendo and six developers of ''The Legendary Starfy'', producer Hitoshi Yamagami joked that the reason why Starfy took so long to debut in the US was that he 'was swimming all the way from Japan' and explained that the series was always developed for a Japanese audience. The developers stated that they always wanted to bring Starfy to the US, but that Nintendo of America deemed the games 'too Japanese' for American audiences. <ref>[http://ds.nintendolife.com/news/2009/05/interviews_nintendotose_the_legendary_starfy Nintendo Life Nintendo/TOSE interview - The Legendary Starfy]</ref> There were various localization changes in the fifth game, where for example the manga style cutscenes in ''Densetsu no Starfy Taiketsu! Daiiru Kaizokudan'' were changed and made to read from left to right instead of right to left.

Nintendo Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 任天堂株式会社) is a multinational company that publishes games in the The Legendary Starfy series. Nintendo has directed and produced games in the series with the developer TOSE and shared half of the copyright to the series. The inspiration for the The Legendary Starfy series came from a directive from Nintendo producer Hitoshi Yamagami's boss in November 1995 to create some kind of 'floaty platformer'. Hitoshi Yamagami would later collaborate with TOSE producer Yasuhiro Minamimoto. A balloon-lifting game was in development until plans were changed and the main character was decided as a starfish in an early version of Densetsu no Starfy for the Game Boy. This character eventually became Starfy, who was featured in the Nintendo Space World 2000 trial demo for the Game Boy Color.

Nintendo have promoted various official merchandise for the series on official mini-sites for the games hosted on Nintendo.co.jp including things like Nintendo Official Guidebooks, the Densetsu no Starfy Trumps and stuffed toys. Nintendo owns the copyright to the tankōbon of The Legendary Starfy series manga with TOSE.
