Fighting Royale 2

Fighting Royale 2, branded as Gingo Fighting Royale 2, is a crossover fighting video game developed by Double G Games (with Blitz Games assisting with development; With the PSP version developed by Virtuos and the DS version by Altron) for the Nintendo DS, Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. The second installment in the Fighting Royale series, the game was officially announced in May 2004 by Gingo/Universal Animation CEO Michael Wildshill. Geo G., creator and producer of the series, assumed the role of director at Wildshill's request. Game development began in September 2004, with delays due to development problems before being eventually released worldwide in 2008.

The number of playable characters in Fighting Royale 2 has grown from that in Gingo Fighting Royale, although some characters from the first game were cut in the sequel. Fighting Royale 2 is the first game in the series to have playable third-party characters, otherwise known as non-Gingo characters. Like its predecessor, Fighting Royale 2 is similar to the Super Smash Bros. series, in which the objective is to knock opponents off the screen. The game builds on the first game by adding new gameplay features and playable characters. It includes a more extensive single-player mode than its predecessor, known as Colliding Dimensions. This mode is a plot-driven, side-scrolling beat 'em up featuring traditionally animated cut scenes with an original storyline written by Universal/Gingo writers Jim Anderson, Terry Ward, J. Stewart Burns, and Gary Hall. Fighting Royale 2 supports multiplayer battles with up to four combatants, and is the first game of its franchise to feature online battles. Much akin to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Wii version can be played with four different controllers, including the Wii Remote, Wii Remote with Nunchuk, GameCube controller, and Classic Controller, simultaneously.

Fighting Royale 2 received positive reviews from critics, with opinions varying from version to version, The console and PSP versions were met with generally favorable reviews, with critics who praised its entertainment value, visuals, and writing, while others unfavorably compared it to Super Smash Bros. Brawl; it is considered by many to be an improvement over its predecessor. The Nintendo DS version on the other hand, received mixed response for what critics described as far less superior than the console versions, while criticism focused on the repetition and minor glitches. The game was nominated for Best Video Game Writing at the 2009 Writers Guild of America Awards. As of January 31, 2009, four million copies of the game have been sold worldwide. A direct-to-video film tie-in, titled Fighting Royale: Colliding Dimensions – The Premiere Movie was released on the same time as the game and features extended cutscenes from the game's Colliding Dimensions story mode. It was followed by Fighting Royale 3 in 2018.

Characters
Fighting Royale 2 allows the player to select from 32 playable characters, 25 more than its predecessor; some are new, but others return from the first game. 17 are available initially, while the other 16 characters require completing specific tasks to become available.

Some previously represented series have had more characters added to Fighting Royale 2. Claire Jones from Gabriel Garza, Pip and Giggs from Niz Chicoloco, Biri from Planetokio, and Zipper and Tab from Zina Supermoon make their first appearance in the Fighting Royale series. Other newcomers are the first to represent their series. These include characters such as BJ and Wally, Johnny, Zak and Max from Critter Mockers, and Zen and Nova Pandemonium from The Pandemoniums, as well as Ama from the 1997 Universal animated film Ama and the Mysterious Crystal.

Sinbad, Marina, and Eris, characters from the 2003 DreamWorks animated film Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas and its spin-off TV series Sinbad on Gingo, Two Sanrio characters (My Melody and Kuromi), and Amitie from Puyo Pop Fever are the first third-party characters to appear in a Fighting Royale game. Despite being a Sinbad character, Eris is given as a representative of the Niz Chicoloco universe due to her being a recurring character in that series since the 2004 crossover television special Niz Chicoloco vs. Eris and its video game tie-in.

Voice cast
While Cream's voice actor reprises her role in this game. However, Cookie's voice actor was replaced. Matt Hill was busy on voicing other projects before the release of Fighting Royale 2.

Like Fiox, Baku uses some of Storm the Albatross's voice clips from Sonic Riders; for the same reason as Fiox.
