Trivia / The King of Fighters '95

• Inspiration for the Work: In an interview with The Guardian in 2018, Masahiro Sakurai cited this game as an inspiration for designing the Super Smash Bros. series. The story is that while keeping his win streak for KOF '95 in arcade, he saw the opponent was just a beginner trying to have fun, leading him to think there should be a fighting game with a wider appeal to the beginner crowd.
• No Export for You: The Sega Saturn was released in Japan and Europe, but not in the US. The reason is unknown, but the fact that the port required a game-specific ROM cartridge might have contributed to not publishing it.
