Along with new and updated character outfits, this version features numerous minor gameplay changes and fixes. Ports & UpdatesĪn enhanced version of the game, titled Virtua Fighter 2.1, was released exclusively in Japan on July 1995. It was also a base for the crossover game Fighters Megamix (along with Fighting Vipers).
It also spawned a line of karaoke discs for the Saturn (known as the "Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series") and an anime adaptation in 1995 (known simply as "Virtua Fighter", which also received its own handheld game). It also adds two new characters to the game's roster: Shun-Di (an elder master of the "Drunken Fist" kung fu) and Lion Rafale (a young practitioner of the "Praying Mantis Fist" kung fu).Īlong with numerous ports and updates, the game received its own super-deformed spin-off in 1996, known as Virtua Fighter Kids. Here's hoping an extremely large Castlevania collection is in the works.Virtua Fighter 2 is a 3D fighting game developed by Sega-AM2 and released by Sega for arcades (running their Sega Model 2 hardware) on November 1994.īuilding on their 1993 game Virtua Fighter, Virtua Fighter 2 features numerous visual improvements (including a higher screen resolution, better texture mapping for characters, and improved backgrounds) and gameplay enhancements (including new attacks for all characters and special counter-attacks). I can't imagine many of them are pulling in mighty sales, but perhaps of quality collections sell better, they'll figure it's more profitable to please the consumer up front with impressive displays than trawl the line out and hope to pull in a few over time.
Perhaps there is hope for the future, though. (5 flavors of Street Fighter II's? OH BOY! ) Maybe it's just me, but it just seems silly to not jam-pack these collections with a lot of random games (even if they weren't really "popular")-we're not precisely dealing with things that will make a stitch of money otherwise anyway.Įven the upcoming Street Fighter collection is disappointing after I checked on it and discovered the Alpha games would play no part like I'd assumed. (And it's pretty damn insulting when we're talking about, like, the early Atari games-"arcade" or not. Getting 2-4 very old games in a new collection-even if it only starts at $30-never really appeals to me it's costs too much for not enough convenience. ) Now 8-10 games all in a convenient package.! That's the way you do it! (And I'm pretty sure we'll get an "X Collection" of 1-6 and other games a little down the line. They don't look substantially redone, so it sorta pales in comparison to the likes of the Mega Man Anniversary Collection. Ridick only 7 ? tss, one of the finest games i played this yearĪs much as the Sega Ages collections are neat, I'd still like to see a lot more old collections featuring just plain MORE games.
