Episode Notes:

1. Captured on the Mega SG.

2. 5 companies made Streets of Rage 2:
Sega CS
Ancient
H.I.C.
Shout! Designworks
MNM Software

3. Yuzo was certainly the lead, but a couple others contributed heavily to the sound.
Music Composition: Yuzo Koshiro, Motohiro Kawashima
Sound Effect: Yuzo Koshiro
Sound Driver: Takeshi Maruyama

4. The European version allows you to pick the same fighters in co-op using a code.

5. There are few differences between regions in this game. Some mild censorship is there for instance. Mr X smokes a cigar in the Japanese version, and you can see Blaze's underwear during her attacks.

6. There was a pack in of this game with the Sega Genesis called the "Fighting System" briefly. It's quite rare today to find it complete.

7. While Streets of Rage 3 was a solid game itself, I still consider part 2 the better game overall.

8. Streets of Rage 2 is available on multiple platforms and collections today, including the Switch, PS4 and Xbox One.
