Power Stone 2
2000 video game
Power Stone 2 (パワーストーン 2, Pawā Sutōn 2) is a multiplayer fighting game developed and published by Capcom. It was released for the Sega NAOMI arcade system in April 2000, with a home port for the Dreamcast releasing later that year. It is the sequel to Power Stone (1999), and built on the innovative gameplay introduced by its predecessor. Power Stone 2 allows up to four players to choose from multiple characters and utilize items such as tables, chairs, and rocks in battle. The game introduced changes from the original, including new character voices, the removal of the existing combo system and a new, horizontal status bar.
The game was ported to the PlayStation Portable as part of the Power Stone Collection in 2006. The arcade version was re-released in 2025 as part of Capcom Fighting Collection 2.
Gameplay
There are four different modes available for the game:
1-on-1: Much like the original Power Stone, a two-character storyline game.
Arcade: A four-character storyline game, with two characters advancing each round.
Original: Multiplayer mode, with free choice of characters and stages.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2000 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2402777. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2000, 1999, 2006 and 2025.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
