The landmark classic title in the Virtua Fighter series and best selling title in the Saturn's library, Sega's Virtua Fighter 2 cemented itself as a classic nearly immediately after its release date. Though the arcade title is the most classic version, the Saturn version is probably more memorable due to its immense success on a console that didn't see much of that.

Regional Differences

US	Japan

The game's copyright text was changed between regions, with the US version reading "1995 SEGA, All Rights Reserved" and the Japanese version reading "SEGA ENTERPRISES, LTD. 1994, 1995". This is due to the Japanese arcade version being released in 1994, and the Japanese Saturn version being released in 1995, whereas both the arcade and Saturn versions were released in 1995 in the US.

US	Japan

On the options menu for the USA version, the button for controller reassignment says "Button Reassignment", while in the Japanese version it says "Key Assign". The reason for this change is unknown.
