The Story Behind Fighting Vipers 2

Motion capture was utilised for the opening sequences and winning and losing poses, but the majority of animation was done by hand. It is the sequel to 1995's Fighting Vipers and was released for the Sega Model 3 arcade system, before being ported to the Dreamcast in 2001. Members of the development team visited Alcatraz early on in the project for inspiration for the caged stages and the character designs were inspired by the "fashionable sports that are being played by young people today, such as BMX riding and skateboarding along with their associated music culture".

Both of the new characters were designed by Imai Toonz. AM2's Hiroshi Kataoka told Sega Saturn Magazine that development began in early 1997 after work on Fighters Megamix for the Saturn had concluded, and lasted for ten months. Fighting Vipers 2 is a 1998 fighting video game produced by Sega.

What You'll Play

Why It Still Hits

In Japan, Game Machine listed Fighting Vipers 2 on their June 15, 1998 issue as being the second most-successful arcade game of the month. Jim Preston reviewed the Dreamcast version of the game for Next Generation, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "Dreamcast software sales were always sluggish in Japan, and with mediocre titles like this it's not hard to see why." On release, Famitsu magazine scored the Dreamcast version of the game a 30 out of 40. Contemporary French reviews were mixed: Jeuxvideo.com said the action remained dynamic but the visuals were outdated and gave the game a 12/20 score, while Gamekult found the Dreamcast conversion fairly faithful to the arcade original but felt it arrived too late in the console's life to look technically impressive.
