Fighting Masters Vol. 2 Archive Card Pandora Game Console

The second fighting card, built from requests

Fighting Masters Vol. 2 Archive Card exists because the people who bought the first Fighting Masters card kept asking for more, so we built a second one.

The first card is the Capcom and SNK greatest hits. Volume 2 is the next layer down: the 3D fighters of the PlayStation era, a few Japan-only releases that never had an English box, and some arcade boards that were hard to find even in the 90s. A few favorites, Tekken 2, Tekken 3 and Rival Schools among them, appear on both cards, but most of Volume 2 is new ground.

The 3D fighters

A big part of this card is early polygon fighting, from back when every publisher wanted its own Tekken. Battle Arena Toshinden started that rush on the PlayStation, and you get all three. Soul Edge is the game that became Soul Calibur. Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 are both here, and Tekken 3 is still one of the best-playing fighters of the whole generation. Virtua Fighter 3TB, Fighting Vipers 2 and Ehrgeiz round it out. Ehrgeiz is the Square game with Cloud and Tifa in the roster, which surprises people every time.

On an arcade stick

The 2D games on this card, Guilty Gear X and JoJo in particular, are fast and execution-heavy. They feel much better on a proper lever than on a pad. If fighters are why you are buying a Pandora Game Console, say yes to "Get the Official Sanwa Upgrade?" when you build it. The 3D games were designed around a controller, so they work well on either one.

Which consoles it works with

This card is for Pandora Platinum Pro consoles. It does not work on the original Pandora Platinum (version 1), and it does not work on consoles with a mainboard that is not a Pandora Platinum board. Pick it from the archive card choices while you configure your Pandora Game Console.
