Vectorman 2 (ベクターマン2) is the sequel to Vectorman, released in 1996 for the Sega Mega Drive. Though it claims to be a direct sequel to the original game, Vectorman 2 takes place mostly in the present day, rather than an urban futuristic setting seen in Vectorman.

Gameplay is largely the same as its predecessor, but more morphs and weapons have been added.

History

Legacy

As one of the last titles to be released for the system, Vectorman 2 did not see a formal release outside of North America on the Mega Drive, but was eventually released in Japan as part of Sega Archives from USA Vol. 3. It has also re-appeared in a number of compilations, including Sega Mega Drive Collection, Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection and Sonic Gems Collection.
