'''Sega Consumer Research and Development 2''' ('''Sega CS2''') was a video game research and development division within [[Sega]]. It was founded in the mid 80's when Sega decided to grow their home console development, and establish CS divisions similar to their AM divisions. It was involed with ports from the arcade mostly from [[Sega AM1]]. However it has developed popular original projects in particular the ''Alex Kidd'' games, ''Phantasy Star'' games, ''Streets of Rage'', ''Super Shinobi'' series and ''Ristar''. During the Sega CD, 32X and Saturn era, it has mostly developed orginal games, with no association with arcade titles.
