SEGA’s taken the wraps off Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown, a meaty update for the celebrated 2007 brawler due out on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live next summer.
Final Showdown offers a ‘full overhaul’ of Virtua Fighter 5’s mechanics and animations, and chucks in a new single-player mode, dynamic arenas, customisation character items and a robost one-on-one online component.
In addition, Final Showdown also offers two additional combatants in the form of Virtua Fighter 3’s Taka-Arashi and newcomer Jean Kujo.
Haruki Satomi, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA of America and SEGA Europe, commented, “Virtua Fighter 5 has always been an authentic arcade fighter, even when played from the comfort of a home console. And, like any proper arcade dynasty, we’ve continued to support, expand and tweak the game in the years since its release.”
“With Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown, we get to bring the ultimate expression of competitive one-on-one gaming to console players in one perfect package.”
