| − | '''''Virtua Fighter 2''''' is a fighting game developed by [[Sega]]. It is the sequel to ''[[Virtua Fighter]]'' and the second game in the ''Virtua Fighter'' series. The [[arcade]] version was created by the Sega's [[Yu Suzuki]]-headed [[AM2]] in 1994. It was then ported to the [[Sega Saturn]] in 1995 and [[:wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]] in 1997. In addition, ''Virtua Fighter 2'' was converted for the [[PlayStation 2]] in 2004 as part of Sega's ''Ages 2500'' series in Japan.

| − | ''Virtua Fighter 2'' was remade for the [[Sega Mega Drive|Genesis]] in 1996, but as a sprite based 2D fighter. This port was included in the 2006's ''[[Sega Genesis Collection]]'' and was also released on [[Nintendo Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]] on March 20, 2007 in Japan, and also April 16, 2007 in the US.

| − | ''Virtua Fighter 2'' was known for its breakthrough graphics that made good use of Sega's Model 2 arcade hardware. This hardware was able to run the game at 60 frames per second at a high resolution without slowdown. The Saturn version was also known for impressive graphics, especially on a system that was never really built to be 3D-friendly.

| − | The Saturn port allowed for the arena size to be adjusted down or all the way up to 82 meters. This is the only game in the series, other than ''Virtua Fighter Remix'', that could have such size adjustments. The energy meter was also adjustable and could even be set to infinity. This allows for practicing of moves or cheating. By adjusting the arena to a small size and giving characters infinite health the player could play what some have called a "sumo match" and the players could only win by knocking their opponent out of the ring.

| |
| − | ''Virta Fighter 2.1'' was a Japanese-only release. This version featured re-tweaked gameplay, slightly enhanced graphics and the ability to play as a newly-designed Dural. This version was also released in the Sega ''Ages 2500'' series. It is possible to switch to the 2.1 gameplay mechanics in the Saturn port, but none of the other features are updated. The 2.1 mode can also be activated in the PC version.
