Fighter's History 2
Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!! is a Super Famicom sequel to Data East's arcade fighting game series, featuring a story mode where Mizoguchi travels throughout the world to battle a mysterious masked figure (who Data East fans probably already know).

The game was initially released only in Japan for the Super Famicom on February 17, 1995, under the title of "Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!!". In 2017, Retro-Bit published the game for the international release as part of their compilation Data East Classic Collection, under the new title of "Fighter's History 2".

About This Game
Fighter's History 2's story mode follows the series regular Mizoguchi, who is enjoying a casual outing when a stranger intercepts him and challenges him to defend the honor of his town's most beloved street food: takoyaki, the octopus dumplings of Osaka. Goaded into action—and consistently misreading everything the other fighters say as insults toward his hometown snack—Mizoguchi travels the world sampling rival dishes and awkwardly interrogating the series' cast, each misunderstanding more surreal than the last, all in defense of Osaka's culinary pride.
