 The Capcom-produced "Strider 2" makes no references to the Western-only "Strider Returns"/"Strider II".The game was released for arcades in 1999 and was ported to the PlayStation in 2000.While the graphics in "Strider 2" now consist of 2D character sprites overlaid over 3D backgrounds, its gameplay remains similar to its 2D side-scrolling predecessor.
