Recreation of the small pixel font from NMK/Jaleco's "Saint Dragon" (1989).
Note that the original colour version of this font uses some antialiasing, particularly in punctuation characters like the "&". This recreation is non-antialiased reinterpretation of those characters.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Capcom's "Goof Troop: Pirate Island Adventure" (1993) on the SNES.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in a line above their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.

I can't believe this is taken from so many typefaces published here; I could have created this typeface from scratch, but it's overly time-consuming for me to do that, so I'm just doing minor adjustments for the moment. (Now the design of the capital "A" is adjusted once again, so it looks more like the one in the original Sonic 2.)
Anyways, I have enjoyed Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for years and I'm somewhat fastidious about its font design, so the minor adjustments I have made is just to make it more accurate, and more typical of the original Sonic 2 -- very suitable for game subtitles in general, I guess.

Recreation of one of the pixel fonts from Johnson Voorsanger Productions/Sega's "ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron" (1993) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.

Presenting Capcom/Disney's The Little Mermaid, released in 1989 for the Movie, and 1991 for the NES. This game was based on Movies and Cartoons, (especially Disney Junior), Those Letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, S, T, U, V, and W are the same to Mega Man 3, 4, 5, and 6, and The Letters: J, R, X, Y, and Z are not similar to Mega Man 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Presenting Capcom's 1943: The Battle of the Midway (aka. 1944, or 1943: The Battle of Valhalla), released in 1987 for the Arcade, and 1988 for the FC/NES. Those letters are similar to Gun.Smoke. Thus, it made a mistake because it supposed to be The Battle of midway, released in 1942 in movies.
Presenting Konami's Gyruss, released in 1983 for the Arcade, 1988 for the FDS, and February 1989 for the NES. This game is similar to falsion but bad.
