Sega's 3D conversions of classic titles have been consistently satisfying, often adding levels of polish and features that... Do we really have to say this? Ugh... Nintendon't.
3D Streets of Rage 2 looks to continue this trend, according to a recent report from Famitsu. The simultaneous two-player action of the original will be retained in the 3DS eShop version, although only through local play and both players will need a copy of the game.
Other modes include a new single-player rendition dubbed "Quartet." Details are not yet plentiful, but it seems to involve using all four of the playable fighters successively.
Are you planning to hit the pavement? Whether solo or with a friend, you can currently look for Streets of Rage 2 to release in July.

one of me favs!!!!! if only capcom would do these,would love final fight and street fighter
Blaze or Shiva >>> any other playable Bare Knuckle character.
I mostly care about Sonic The Hedgehog 2, because if it still has the Stage Select, it's a day-one purchase.
Yeah I will be getting this too. Mostly as a thank you Sega for keeping the 3D Classics coming. If Sega didn't do it we would have nothing. Thanks a million! I'm still hoping for Power Drift
Have this on the Wii Virtual Console but I could pick this up again for the 3d-ness, if I want to play 2 player I could just use the Wii VC one.
Can't...bleedin...wait
They really could not have single copy download for multiplayer?
I'm looking forward to Sonic 2. Not having single-copy download play is a huge turnoff.
@Angelic_Lapras_King They could but then they'd be loosing out on sales.
@FragRed Would have thoght it would encourage more sales, like if the friends really enjoy it, they'll buy their own copy, as oppose to asking friends "buy this £4 game so we can do 2 player!"
@Windy Power Drift would be sweet!
I've honestly never been a fan of the Streets of Rage games but in the absence of ANY SNES games on the 3DS, to say nothing of having something converted to 3D, I'll be buying this just to support Sega for actually doing it.
Ugh, Konami had Super C multiplayer with download play it should have been the same here. Grateful it has multiplayer at least but if we need both copies they should've tried to include online while they were at it. Hope Gunstar Heroes has download play but I doubt it.
Oh well, still looking forward to this!
"Streets of Rage 2 : Quartet" That right there is enough reason for me to drop some bones on this. It's cool to have a new 'playable' mode for one of my all-time favorite Sega games, even if it is just a single-player 'smash run' for SoR.
It really sucks that you need 2 copies of the game. Like many people I have two 3DS, my original and an XL and its great for 2 player.
I do love that M2 and Sega keep showing Nintendo how to make quality 3D releases of classic titles.
You know, by adding features, polish, and Tier 1 titles. I shudder to think of the resources that were wasted upgrading Urban Champion when they could have released a sure thing like Zelda. Or any of the Mario titles. Or ANYTHING besides Urban Champion.
the new mode sounds cool. M2 really killing it with these
Got the first Streets of rage 3d so definitely getting this streets of rage 2 is my favourite
@Angelic_Lapras_King Maybe but I always feel this game was produced with 2 players in mind, it always plays better than way, like pretty much any beat 'em up game. And if most people play Streets of Rage in 2 player mode, then I would argue, as I am sure Sega do, that there'd be a loss of sales if only one person needed the game.
@AlexSora89 it worked in the Sonic 1 port of the game as well as the debug code. I'm hoping for the same thing too!
My first genesis game and still one of my favorites! Been waiting for this to hit the eshop.
Why no internet multiplayer?
But anyway, GRAND UPPER!
I don't have anyone that lives near enough to me to make a local multiplayer viable, even if it was possible to only use one copy of the game. ;-(
Nintendon't do this!
