Psychic Force 2012 (サイキックフォース2012 Saikikku Fōsu 2012?) is a 1998 arcade fighting game developed by Taito Corporation as the sequel to their 1995 title, Psychic Force. The game was first released in arcades in 1998 and was then ported a year later to the Sega Dreamcast, becoming one of the console's earliest titles when it was released in Japan on March 4, 1999. A North American version was released on October 31, 1999, through the now-defunct distributor Acclaim.
The game was also adapted for the PlayStation and released under the title of Psychic Force 2 (サイキックフォース2 Saikikku Fōsu Tsū?) in Japan on October 7, 1999 and the PAL Regions in 2001. This version featured downgraded graphics, but had included several extra modes (such as the "Psy-Expand" mode), an animated FMV intro, and three returning characters from the original Psychic Force (Sonia, Brad, and Genma) who had been omitted in Psychic Force 2012. In 2006, Psychic Force 2012 was re-released as part of as an anniversary pack for the PlayStation 2 titled Psychic Force Complete, which had included the original Psychic Force and a special exclusive remixed version of 2012 titled Psychic Force 2012 EX.
Location test for the Taito NESiCAxLive version occurred between 2012-11-02 and 2012-11-06.
