* [[Bad Export for You]]: ''3''. Not necessarily because of the [[Difficulty by Region|inflated difficulty]] itself, but because the lowest difficulty setting in the overseas versions, Easy, includes [[Easy Mode Mockery]] that cuts out the last two stages of the game, while the Japanese version's equivalent difficulty level, Normal, lets you play to the very end. In other words, you're punished for playing a non-Japanese version. Also, the Japanese version's Easy difficulty, which ''still'' lets you complete the entire game and would've been the overseas versions' [[Easier Than Easy]] difficulty, is removed altogether.
* [[Divorced Installment]]: There was going to be a ''Streets of Rage 4'' on the [[Sega Saturn]], but it was turned into the unrelated game ''Fighting Force'', and instead released on the [[PlayStation]] and [[Nintendo 64]].
** The first game started its development as a spinoff of ''ESWAT: City Under Siege'' originally given the development title of ''DSWAT''. This explains the appearance of the police car from ''ESWAT'' when using the game's special move.
* [[Fan Translation]]: Of ''Bare Knuckle III''. Exactly this specific one, not the US version.
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: Like many other fan projects that were axed by the copyright holders but had reached a complete release, you'll be sure to find ''Streets of Rage Remake V5'' around the net years from now.
** Quite a few people, due to the timing of the C&D order, believe this may have actually been Sega's intention all along; give the game time to circulate, then send the C&D to keep their shareholders happy.
* [[Name's the Same]]: Souther, the second boss from the first game, is not the guy from ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''.
* [[Urban Legend of Zelda]]: There was a rumor that locking ''Streets of Rage'' onto ''[[Sonic 3 and Knuckles]]'' would allow you to play as Knuckles in ''Streets of Rage 1''.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Pre-release screenshots show that ''Streets of Rage 3'' was originally going to feature a section where the heroes ride motorcycles.
** [[Unexpected Gameplay Change|Motorcycle and even aquascooter sections]] are present in the Remake but, while fun, they are probably its weakest parts.
