Power Instinct 2 (US, Ver. 94.04.08, set 1)
Atlus • 1994
Also known as: Gouketsuji Ichizoku 2


Power Instinct 2 is a two-player versus fighting game released by Atlus in 1994. Originally developed in Japan as "Gouketsuji Ichizoku 2," this version arrived in the United States in April of that year. Players choose from a roster of diverse characters, each with unique special moves and abilities, and engage in head-to-head combat across vibrant stages. Gameplay revolves around executing various attacks – punches, kicks, throws, and signature super moves – to deplete your opponent's health bar. The game builds upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, Power Instinct, offering a faster pace and refined mechanics. A later entry, Gouketsuji Legends, would continue the series, alongside subsequent titles including Power Instinct V. A port of this arcade title was later released for the Sony PlayStation in 1996.
