The game is rather obscure in the arcade and Neo Geo scene, likely due to its somewhat uninspired visuals and character designs, but it has gained something of a cult following thanks to its solid gameplay.

In 2015, Visco launched through a French distributor a limited edition of Breakers Revenge for the Neo Geo AES.[1] In 2017, the original Breakers received an official Dreamcast release.

A collection including the two games, titled Breakers Collection, has announced for consoles and PC, coming in 2020. 

When both players begin a fight with the same character, the challenger's character will receive a different name. For instance, Sho's double will be named "Jin Sawamura". This usually occurred in the game's arcade mode with a human opponent facing the computer.
