History Trivia / XMenVsStreetFighter

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: While every ''Vs.'' game prior to ''[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 MvC3]]'' has had this as a major issue, this game had it the worst. Following the initial console release on UsefulNotes/PlayStation and UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn in 1997 (the former of which is a PortingDisaster and the latter of which is a case of NoExportForYou as seen below), this game received ''zero'' rereleases whatsoever, due to the rights to the ''X-Men'' name being tangled up between Creator/{{Capcom}}, Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}}, [[Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox Fox]], and (way later on) Creator/{{Disney}}. PS and Saturn copies would also get more and more expensive as they went out of print. ''[=XvSF=]'' would finally see a rerelease via the [=Arcade1Up=] machines (which also include other classic ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' fighters) in 2020. Those who don't want to pay several hundred dollars for a machine though are still out of luck, however.
