Logo-pdf.svg 1996-02-23 Sega Saturn Magazine (JP), "1996-04 (1996-03-08)" Interviews AM2 development chief Hiroshi Kataoka and Fighting Vipers main programmer (a hidden Daichi Katagiri) about some technical aspects of gameplay, Honey/Candy losing her skirt after taking damage and the identity of Mahler in relation to B.M.. The interview is accompanied with bullet points and images. "Vipers News!" explains how to unlock Mahler.

The second page hypes up an upcoming large-scale national tournament, similar to what Virtua Fighter 2 received the previous year. It lists the 8 characters moves, gets a word from tournament entrant Ikebukuro Sarah aka Ikebukuro Raxel (Hisashi Obara)[1] and reports on AM2's live broadcast on February 14.
