Console Versions
In addition to the Neo-Geo AES and Neo-Geo CD versions, ports of Fatal Fury 2 were released for the SNES and the X68000 in 1993, followed by versions for the Sega Genesis, PC Engine Arcade CD-ROM², and Game Boy in 1994. The SNES and Genesis versions were published by Takara, while the X68000 version released only in Japan was published by Mahou Kabushikigaisha (Magical Company). All three versions allowed the player to control the four boss characters. The PAL Sega Mega Drive version is very rare and goes upwards of $200 on online auction sites. The PC Engine version was published by Hudson Soft in Japan only and was one of the first games to require the Arcade Card add-on. The Game Boy version is titled Nettou Garou Densetsu 2 (熱闘餓狼伝説２?, "Dead Heat Fighters Legend of the Hungry Wolf 2") and features "super deformed" style graphics. However, due to the Game Boy having limited hardware, all voices have been removed, but in their place the characters have speech bubbles when performing a special attack.
The original Neo Geo version of the game is included in Fatal Fury Battle Archive Vol. 1 for the PlayStation 2 (with a choice between the original AES and CD soundtrack) and is available on the Wii Virtual Console service.
Although the Neo Geo was a very popular console in Saudi Arabia in the early 1990s, with home cart sales exceeding 3000 units a year, Fatal Fury 2 was the first game to be banned due to Mai Shiranui's revealing attire.
