I love Fighters Megamix. It feels a lot like Fighting Vipers and is super over-the-top. Great game.

It's was the only major 3D fighter from Sega that I didn't have. I was already quite happy with titles like Fighting Vipers and Last Bronx especially. It lacks polish, but otherwise I do agree, it's great. My favorite character is easily Janet from Virtual Cop 2. She is essentially Aoi from VF3 but with a gun projective :lol:

I really wish SEGA would seriously consider making a sequel or something similar where they take a bunch of their popular IPs and put them in 3D fighter.

Is it to much to desire a fighting game with Lan Di, Blaze Fielding, Jean Kujo, Temjin and a Ferrari in one fighting game... :?

Or at least a Last Bronx 2. I really think that game is overrated. It is to Soul Edge what VF was to Tekken: less flashy but more technically sound.

I never got into Last Bronx as much as I did with Virtua Fighter, but I only spent time in Last Bronx when I wasn't that huge into getting serious about fighting games.

As for Fighters Megamix, I always saw the game more as hyper-paced Fighting Vipers with Virtua Fighter characters. Sure, those Virtua Fighter characters were sporting VF3 moves, but the pacing and the way the stages were set up are drastically different. Such a great game though and that is one I always like to pull out for people who aren't that in to fighting games, but want to have a lot of fun.

Favorite fighter for me in the game? On the Fighting Vipers side it is definitely Picky, he has some really easy armor breaking moves and is insanely fast in the game. For Virtua Fighter, it has and always will be Pai. I really enjoy the rhythm of her moves and her playstyle. In the miscellaneous catagory it goes to Siba. It is so interesting to see a cut Virtua Fighter character make a come back, not to mention he also has some really easy armor breaking moves that are fast.

I played a bit of it. Lost as hell without English, but it is damn purdy. Another of many great RPGs lost to untranslated obscurity.

Played some Die Hard Arcade and some Asuka 120% burning fest with my sis. Good times.

Die hard Arcade I can never get past the robot spider-like enemies, with a friend, or solo.

Asuka 120% is just fun as hell and I think it's one of the better 2d fighters I've played.

My fighting game finds for Sega Saturn continues. Found a copy of World Heroes Perfect. I have it on PS2 via WH Anthology compilation. Simply purchased the game as its price has gone down since the release of WHA on PS2, as well as just being curious on how well this version runs. It does not support RAM cart expansion. With that said, Loadtimes are fairly quick and painless (a mere 3 sec. after every victory quote screen). Game runs lighting fast much like its arcade counterpart. Nothing appears to be cut aside from a few frames of animation and voice audio after character selection is made So nothing major that affects gameplay. This port also contains a fairly robust gallery covering the series. Resolution looks to be... Perfect :lol:

I'm fairly happy with my purchase and apperantly a few of my friends who are hardcore WHP fans.

I've been really in the mood for Saturn stuff lately. So I went and dug thru my shelves to see which Sat games I had held on to. Sadly... the answer was 'none of them.' :?

I've been playing Burning Rangers lately. Such an underrated, unique game.

Also, I bought Policenauts and my copy came through the post this morning. I played it a little bit earlier today. I really need to learn Japanese... (yes, I know there's a fan translation patch for the PS1 version).
