Anetto Futatabi (アネット・再び), commonly translated as Annet Again or Annet Returns, is a side scrolling beat-em-up developed and published by Wolf Team for the Sega Mega-CD. It is the final game in the Annet Myer and Earnest Evans series. The menus and game screens are in English, but the dialogue and ending credits are in Japanese.

Renovation Products was set to release the game overseas as Annet Again, but cancelled the release for unknown reasons (probably due to the presumably poor quality of the original Japanese release).^[3]

After being rescued from certain sacrifice by Earnest Evans, Annet travels across Europe and encounters a group that wants a pendant in her possession. After being ambushed by them she escapes and begins a quest to protect the world from destruction.

Annet has five magic levels, which are regulated by a power meter that regenerates automatically. Each time her power meter fills, she gains a higher, more powerful level of magic. She uses her magic with , which attacks all enemies on screen. However, magic cannot be used against the bosses.
