Those of you still holding a torch for Virtua Fighter, good news! Sega recently announced that the latest installment of their long-running Virtua Fighter franchise will be upgraded yet again early next year.
Few details were provided as to what this update will entail, but if previous revisions are any indication, Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown Version B may include balance tweaks for the existing cast in an effort to extend its competitive life.
Much of Sega’s original announcement has to do with Version B’s network services, mentioning that the upcoming title will not be compatible with their ALL.net infrastructure. Whether or not this means they will be rolling out something new remains to be seen.
Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown Version B is scheduled to appear in Japanese arcades sometime in March.
