Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition (Japanese: ハイパーストリートファイターII -The Anniversary Edition-) is a 2003 2D fighting game by Capcom that was originally released for the PlayStation 2. Created to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Street Fighter series, Hyper Street Fighter II is a modified port of Super Street Fighter II Turbo (1994) in which players can control any versions of the main characters from the five Street Fighter II games previously released for the arcades.

Although originally released as a home console game, an arcade port was released shortly afterwards in limited quantities, turning it into the sixth arcade iteration; this version ran on the same CP System II hardware as its predecessor and was the final game released for it. Its North American home release in 2004 was as part of Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, which also features Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike; this collection was later ported to the Xbox in all regions. In 2022, Hyper Street Fighter II was released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC as part of Capcom Fighting Collection[3] and also as part of Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium.
