A console port of the original [[Activision]] ''[[MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat]]'' computer game, '''MechWarrior 2 - 31st Century Combat: Arcade Combat Edition''' is a Console game set in the ''[[BattleTech]]'' universe for the Playstation and Sega Saturn.

==Canonicity==
Computer games are explicitly excluded from the list of products that contribute straight [[Canon]] to the BattleTech universe while at the same time it was stated that the IP owners are "not in total denial about these sources either"; it has also been stated that fluff from certain official, licensed products (namely certain computer games including those produced by Activision) can be assumed to be part of the shared universe as long as it is not directly contradicted, and makes sense. On this premise, ''MechWarrior 2 - 31st Century Combat: Arcade Combat Edition'' is considered to be an [[apocryphal]] product.

==Gameplay==
The emphasis in the PlayStation and Sega Saturn versions is shoot-em-up action.

==Differences==
While the game was loosely based on the PC version, there are some differences that set it apart from its counterpart. The first change was the removal of the [[IIC]] mechs (with exception to the [[Jenner IIC]]). This was due to the Harmony Gold lawsuits, which caused FASA to remove some of the mechs from the BT roster, labeling them as [[Unseen]]. Secondly, the soundtrack has been changed drastically as to what was heard from its PC counterpart as it would later be used for [[MechWarrior_2:_Mercenaries|Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries]]. Another edition to the console port was the addition of "power-ups", which ranged from invincibility and health pick-ups to jumpjet fuel to replenish limited jumpjet capacity. Finally, there are two new additional campaigns each for Clan adding to the Refusal War campaign.
