One year after the first edition of the World Fighting Tournament, won by Lau Chan, the invitations are sent again, this time for the second edition of the Tournament. Will Akira's new techniques be enough to beat Wolf? Will Lau be able to defend his title against his daughter Pai? Will Jacky save his sister Sarah, who was brainwashed into killing him? Will Jeffry make enough money to hunt down the Satan Shark? And will Kage find out if the mysterious Judgment 6 cartel is behind the tournament? Everything remains to be seen...
Sharing the name with the second title in Sega's flagship 3D fighter series, this 16-bit version brings the game into the world of 2D fighters.
While the full polygon environment of the arcade/saturn version was scratched in favor of regular sprites and a side-scrolling camera due to obvious technology constraints (plus manufacturing costs excluding the SVP chip used in Virtua Racing) and featuring only the original 8 characters in the series, the rest were directly taken from or inspired by its big brother. The arenas are all drawn to the 32-bit titles (and even feature a little parallax scrolling trick to provide a slight 3D illusion), as are the characters, and they also feature many of the same sound effects and music. The gameplay is also inspired by the original version, with many button combinations remaining unchanged.
