Psychic Force 2012 (サイキックフォース2012, Saikikku Fōsu 2012) is the sequel to Taito Corporation's 1997 fighting arcade game, Psychic Force. It was then ported to Dreamcast and was one of Sega's first games to be released onto the console in 1999. The game was released on October 31, 1999 in North America through now-defunct distributor Acclaim.
It was also adapted for PlayStation as Psychic Force 2 (サイキックフォース2, Saikikku Fōsu Tsū) featuring downgraded graphics but with multiple extra modes (such as Psy-expand mode), an animated FMV "intro" and three more characters from Psychic Force that didn't make the cut into the Dreamcast version.
Story[]
