Vampire Hunter 2: Darkstalkers Revenge & Vampire Savior 2: The Lord Of Vampire
Edit
Capcom has made two updated versions of the game Darkstalkers 3 (Vampire Savior), released only in Japan. They are a part of Capcom's Darkstalkers series of fighting games.
Added by DarkVampireDeeAfter the success of Vampire Savior: The Lord Of Vampire, Capcom released two special updated games in a few months for the Arcades (in Japan Only). The updated games are known as "Vampire Savior 2: The Lord of Vampire" and "Vampire Hunter 2: DarkStalkers Revenge". The two games have alternative background stage colors, minor gameplay tweaks and changes to the characters' move lists. The Dark Force power has been tweaked to make the characters Ex special more powerful and more surprising.
The two games have different character rosters, Vampire Savior 2 has replaced Jon Talbain, Sasquatch, and Rikou with Donovan, Huitzil, Pyron. In Vampire Hunter 2, Jedah, Baby Bonnie Hood, Q-Bee, and Lilith has been removed (the character roster is the same as in Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge. Vampire Hunter 2 has the same soundtrack as NightWarriors/Vampire Hunter: DarkStalkers Revenge, with additional music.
The two updated games are not tied to the main story, the stories being "What if"s. Both games feature a few secret characters: Oboro Bishamon, Dark Talbain (in Vampire Hunter 2), Shadow and Marionette. Also, Dee (Evil Donovan) only in Vampire: DarkStalkers Collection.
Key difference between Vampire Savior: The Lord Of Vampire
Edit
Vampire Savior 2 has some changes that's different from the original third game. Here are a list of the changes.
Added by DarkVampireDee- Jon Talbain, Rikuo and Sasquatch have been omitted from the game and its opening intro.
- The CPU opponents appear in alternate colors.
- Stages have been recolored, and Donovan stage has been added (from Vampire Hunter: Darkstalkers Revenge) and recolor.
- Character specific endings have been removed with the exceptions of Jedah. Every other character shares the same ending.
- Character specific boss fights are removed in favor of Jedah. The sub boss fight is now set against Pyron.
- Along with Shadow, a new character named Marionette was added. Marionette, unlike a playable character, allows the player to fight in mirror matches throughout the game.

Trivial
Edit
- Vampire Hunter 2 has a secret title "NightWarriors 2: DarkStalkers Revenge", which can be only used by hack. It is unknown if Capcom had originally planned to release Vampire Hunter 2 in other regions because of the title NightWarriors 2, but this never happened.
- Lilith was supposed to be in Vampire Hunter 2, but was removed for unknown reasons (she is playable by hacking).
- In Darkstalkers Chronicles: The Chaos Tower, the name for Vampire Savior 2 and Vampire Hunter 2 were label as "Darkstalkers 3 SP" and "Night Warriors SP", in the hidden ending credits, and the gallery sections as well.
- Marionette winning theme of Vampire Hunter 2 seem to be missing in Vampire Another Selection~The Unreleased Takes~. The total tracks should be 23 instead of 22. Possible that it could be a mistake by the composer or the publisher.
