History Trivia / StreetFighterAlpha

* BadExportForYou: The Hispanic CPS arcade boards used for Spanish-speaking Latin America for the first Alpha game were notorious for omitting many tunes used in other boards, and in the case of Adon's stage, only a few notes could be heard, including a very annoying guitar riff that plays during all the stage until you finish it. The only way to play the game with the original tunes were using the U.S one or boards from other regions instead.[[note]]Other [=CPS2=] games in Latin America suffered the same problem, including ''VideoGame/XMenChildrenOfTheAtom'', ''VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroes'' and ''VideoGame/MegamanThePowerBattle'' and its sequel.[[/note]]
