Fatal Fury 2, known as Garou Densetsu 2: Aratanaru Tatakai (餓狼伝説2 新たなる闘い) in Japan, is the sequel to Fatal Fury. Originally released by SNK for the Neo Geo MVS/AES in 1992, it was brought to the Sega Mega Drive by Takara in 1994.

Fatal Fury 2 is one of the few Mega Drive games to be released in Australia but not Europe. Although an unreleased European version of the game exists, but its origins are unclear. Three documented copies are known to date. [2]
