| Name: | Virtua Fighter 2 |
| Author/Vendor: | Sega |
| Released: | 1996 |
| Type: | Fighting |
| Language: | English |
| Premise: | Sega's answer to Battle Arena Toshinden - one of the first third-generation fighting games with the same style as Mortal Kombat, but using new techology to deliver a true 3D street fighting experience. |
| Impressions: | Well, what can I say? The requirements of the original were so steep that only the 32X could deliver on a true port of the arcade game. This is a "special edition" rendered in now-familiar 2D side-scroll SF2 style in order to avoid the hardware limitations of a standard Genesis console. It's probably the best SF2 clone in existence for the console, but it seems kinda stale after you've experienced its 32X predecessor. |
| Variations: | Virtua Fighter (32X version, an excellent port of the 3D arcade original - see separate entry under the 32X section for more details) |
| Recommended Emu: | Genecyst X |
