History Trivia / MegaMan8

** Due to some poor wording from [[Creator/G4TV G4]], it was believed that ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'' was intended to be a UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn exclusive, but fearing the competition, Creator/{{Sony}} allegedly demanded the game. This supposedly explains why it has additional content, since it was released simultaneously with the UsefulNotes/PlayStation version in North America. In truth, this is actually referring to the game's North American launch, as it is noted that Sony agreed to approve the game on the condition that it had something special over the Saturn version, resulting in a collector's full-color anthology booklet enclosed with the first editions of the North American release. The Saturn version likely has more content due to the extra time to polish the game between Japanese releases. Ironically, ''VideoGame/MegaManX4'' was [[http://web.archive.org/web/19970414012218/www.videogamespot.com/sat/pltfrm/megamnx4/index.html intended]] for the Saturn first, despite the fact that it was released in North America [[https://web.archive.org/web/20110628221401/http://www.gamespot.com/news/2467735.html?tag=result%3Btitle%3B0 after]] the [=PlayStation=] version.

* NoExportForYou: The UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn version was never released in the PAL territories.
* NoPortForYou: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]] -- While the game is available as part of two [[CompilationRerelease Compilation Re-releases]] (''Mega Man Anniversary Collection'' and ''Mega Man Legacy Collection 2''), they use the original UsefulNotes/PlayStation version of the game as a base instead of the {{polished|Port}} UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn version.

* NamesTheSame: Compare Aqua Man with ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}. This is presumably the reason [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork his NetNavi counterpart]] [[WritingAroundTrademarks was eventually]] [[ScrewedByTheLawyers renamed]] [=SpoutMan.EXE=] in English materials.
