- Awesome Art: Even decades later, the art on the game's stages looks amazing. Special mention goes to Avalon cycling through four very different and very detailed backgrounds.
- Polished Port: Aside from a third of the animation frames removed from the characters and some short loading times, the Sega Saturn version is just like the arcade version.
- Porting Disaster: The PlayStation version, developed by Probe Entertainment, suffers from slowdowns, missing frames of animation, and lengthy load times.
- Signature Scene: Magneto's boss intro, where he is first seen sitting on his throne in Avalon before descending to face the player and manifesting his iconic helmet seemingly out of thin air as the fight begins."You dare rise against me? The human era is over! The mutant era has come."
- Unexpected Character:
- Silver Samurai, particularly since he made it into the game over better known X-Men villains like Sabretooth and Mystique. It's possible his concept appealed to the Japanese developers at Capcom.
- Spiral and Omega Red also count, both being obscure villains with little exposure outside of the comics and Capcom's games.
