Resident Evil 2 (Biohazard 2 Value Plus (バイオハザード2 バリュープラス) in Japan) is the sequel to Resident Evil. It was released among other consoles for the Sega Dreamcast in 1999.

As the Japanese name suggests, the Dreamcast version is a slight update to the original PlayStation release - it is actually based on Biohazard 2: Dual Shock Ver., which added a few modes. The Dreamcast version also includes digital galleries and a playable demo of Resident Evil: Code: Veronica. However, at its core, it is the same game, hence why western releases did not make the distinction.

A Sega Saturn version of Resident Evil 2 was at one point planned (complete with extras)^[2], though it failed to materialise. It was announced in Spring 1998 and would have made use of the 4MB Extended RAM Cartridge^[3].
