Fighting Vipers on my 360? That could work.

I might get VF2 and Fighting Vipers, but probably not Sonic Fighters seeing as I don't like sonic. Also hope they put these on PSN. The PS3 is my fighting system of choice this gen.

Sonic the Fighters is just a pretty mediocre Fighting Vipers clone anyway so you're not missing much.

Yeah I just saw this rumor over on sonic stadium last night. I'm definitely interested.

I'll pick up Sonic for sure. I don't know if I'll get the other two, but I'm more likely to get VF2 than Vipers.

A major plus if these games were Model 2 arcade ports rather than Saturn console ports of VF2 and FV (even though they were great ports nonetheless).

I want a "Virtua Fighter HD Collection," dammit! Arcade ports of VF 1-4 in glorious 720p with lag-free online play... is that too much to ask? :twisted:

Sonic the fighters is very meh... its kinda cool if you want to beat up sonic characters but once you get over that, you begin to realize how mediocre it is. There are worse fighting games out there but this one definitely isn't one I find myself coming back to.

More great info incoming! This rumor looks to be a reality and it looks like Sega is sweetening the deal with these releases as they are straight arcade Model 2 versions and with online multiplayer to boot. But the good news doesn't stop here...



Wow! VF2 still looks rather impressive even now!
