The US PSN store is having a sale right now for Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown and the Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown Complete Edition on the PS3 where you can save 40% off the retail price, and an additional 10% if you're a PS+ member! This could make a great holiday gift!

During the Tekken World Tournament 2018 finals stream, Tekken director and producer Katushiro Harada made an interesting comment to the effect that, even if SEGA gave them the VF license and dev team, the hardcore VF community would still reject the game just by seeing the Bandai Namco on the startup screen. So, do you agree?

We've speculated and speculated some more about whether or not a new Virtua Fighter was in the works, and now we've got more fuel to add to the speculative fire! Siliconera recently reported that SEGA had filed to renew the existing trademark for Virtua Fighter, along with a new trademark for a title called 'Battle Genesis'. What could this mean?

Akira Yuki of Virtua Fighter series has been revealed as an Assist Trophy for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!

Sega has revealed the results of their Sega Ages poll! Virtua Fighter Series comes in an #4.

With the announcement of Virtua Racing being a part of the Switch's Sega Ages lineup, could there be more 3D arcade games in the works?

According to the SEGASAMMY FY Ending March 2019 1st Quarter report, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is slated for release to PC. This is in line with SEGA's recent strategy of bringing more of its IP to the PC platform, and with previous Yakuza titles (Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami) already announced for the PC platform, you could argue there are no huge surprises there. However(!), we all know that buried within Yakuza 6 is an arcade port of Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown! Let that sink in for a second.

As announced on Major Nelson's Twitter, Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown will be free to Xbox live users from July 1st to July 15th.

Is this the closest we'll get to seeing Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown running on PC? Check out the footage below!

I still remember the first issue of Sega Saturn Magazine I ever purchased. It was the Feb 1997 edition, emblazoned with incredible cover art of Akira Yuki, and the title ‘Fighters Megamix’ in the corner. A new fighting game from AM2 was just about the most incredible thing that a Sega fan could ask for in ’97 (and in my opinion, it still is), and this was the first sighting of something that would become a very special game in Sega’s history.

According to trademarkia.com, the Virtua Fighter trademark was recently renewed last month on 4 July 2016. What do you think this could mean?
