Trivia[]
- Richter is the only playable character whose debut console was the TurboGrafx-16, known as the PC Engine in Japan.
- Although Richter's name is the same between English and Japanese, the announcer pronounces it differently between regions. The English version pronounces it as /ˈr��k-tər-/ ("rick-ter"), whereas the Japanese version pronounces it /ˈriː-tɑː/ ("ree-tah"). The latter reflects the German pronunciation of the name /ˈʁɪçtɐ/.
