Fatal Fury 2 (SNES)

After the poor success of the first title, Nova tried to port the second one and this time with better results.

To do:
compare screenshots of the title logo and Mai's poses

Hidden Graphic#

A semi-circle similar to the ones the game uses to show the fighters' shadow on the floor is hidden behind the background layers of every stage in the game for no apparent reason.

Censorship#

Most likely due to Nintendo of America's censorship policies at the time, in the international versions, various details of two characters were edited:

  • Mai's thong was made bigger and her breasts don't bounce in her "Nippon Ichi!" victory pose.
  • Laurence Blood's last name is shortened to just "B.". His "Bloody Spin" voice clip is also removed as well.

Music#

In the international versions, the music starts over in-between rounds. This does not occur in the Japanese version.
