Virtua Fighter was a revolutionary fighting game when it hit the arcades, and it introduced nine characters with a range of martial arts styles.  In Virtua Fighter 2, the intrepid fighters return to the World Fighting Tournaments.

Take to the stage to see who will claim the championship title: will it be Lau Chan, Kage-maru, Wolf Hawkfield, Jeffry McWild, Akira Yuki, Jacky Bryant, Sarah Bryant or Pai Chan?  The answer lies within.

Virtua Fighter 2 was an arcade hit. It was the sequel to the first-ever 3D fighting game. It had the looks the learning curve that meant novices could enjoy it and real players could dedicate themselves to mastering the very heart of the combo system it was an amazing arcade machine.SEGA knew this and they could see how popular it had become so putting it on to the saturn was a smart business move.

Not everyone had upgraded to a saturn though and so Sega made a cut down version for the megadrive and unfortunatly this is what we have here on virtual console. 

The megadrie couldnt copy the acrcades graphics so the graphics on display here are a waterd down mess with scruffy 2d sprites, limited moves and broken shallow play. Now dont get me wrong a game can have poor graphics and still be a hit but it needs to play to its strengths and this game just didnt. They would have been better of renaiming it  Virtua fighter MD or something lower the graphics even more but building on the gameplay. After all street fighter 2 was far more simple in graphics but could whip this game in its sleep. Do however download this game if you are always wishing 360 and ps3 games would be downgraded to the wii it might just make you rethink that idea

Just download street fighter in one of its many guises Virtua fighter 2 wont do anything for you.
