Capcom vs. SNK 2 is one of the most beloved 2D fighters of the early 2000s, and was released on PS2, GameCube and Xbox.
However, it actually began life on Sega's NAOMI arcade hardware, and the PS2 version was accompanied by a Dreamcast port on the same day in Japan (September 13, 2001).
While the PS2 port would get a global release, the Dreamcast version remained exclusive to Japan and, therefore, lacked a full English localisation.
That's something that Derek Pascarella is aiming to change. He has begun work on an English language patch for the game, although he is keen to stress that he's making no promises about whether or not it will actually get completed.
Pascarella also released a patch recently for the stand-alone version of Virtua Cop 2 on the Dreamcast, which was only ever released in Japan.
The Capcom vs. SNK series sadly ended with Capcom vs. SNK 2, although it has previously been said that both companies are keen to make a third game at some point.

Noice.
Wouldnt say no to this.
I got the Cube version, with ...that controller.
I use a third party controller with a normal sized D pad for Capcom VS SNK and the Resi games.
A third game and a modern port of the previous two games would be even better.
The first on the Dreamcast is my favorite fighting game of all time. I'm guessing I would like the 2nd even more, but I have avoided playing it due to the lack of English. The DC has the best controller for 2D fighting, so I'd love to see this translation happen.
Love this game. I still have my gamecube copy I got back in the day. I've played so much over the years I've been able to master using the cube's tiny d-pad haha.
