Strider Hiryū 2​, is Capcom's 2000 sequel to the original Strider. The game is actually the second sequel to Strider produced, following the U.S. Gold-produced Strider Returns released in 1990, a game with which Capcom was not directly involved. The Capcom-produced Strider 2 makes no references to the western-only Strider Returns. Source: Wikipedia, "Strider 2", available under the CC-BY-SA License.
