Super Dimension Fortress Macross II[a] is a 1993 horizontally scrolling shooter video game developed by NMK and published by Banpresto for arcades. It was released only in Japan in June 1993.[1] It is an adaptation of the 1992 OVA Super Dimensional Fortress Macross II: Lovers Again, and hence is not a sequel to the 1992 video game Super Spacefortress Macross, which is based on the 1982 series Super Dimension Fortress Macross.[2]

Hamster Corporation released the game outside Japan for the first time as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in July 2025. It was sold at a marked up price, and unlike Super Spacefortress Macross, it was released outside Japan due to Harmony Gold USA's lack of involvement.[3]

Gameplay

The player controls Silvie Genna or Nexx Gilbert, who aim to defeat the Marzuk while navigating levels in VF-1 Valkyrie mecha fighters and defeating enemies.[4] Two different modes, Fighter and GERWALK are available, but the Battroid form is only used when a bomb clears the entire screen of enemies; the Armored Battroid mode is absent. Power-ups can be acquired to increase firepower; they grant extra points if the player is already maxed out.[5]
