'2p offline is possible' - that part's google translation. If someone wants to clarify if it's 'is possible' or 'impossible'

Nagoshi does what Yu don't

 

[∀ Narayan]

SWEET!

GOTF

 

[The Grim Heaper]

That's kind of awesome.

 

[klee123]

It would be hilarious if it was Shenmue 1 and 2 playable on Yakuza 5

 

[lunch]

This on top of the Taiko Drum Master game are making Yakuza 5's Sega Arcade sound amazing. It's always been the most underwhelming part of the series.

 

[slightconfuse]

wow thats amazing, cant wait

 

[Malajax]

OMGGGGGGG!

If this doesn't come over, I will totally import. Fully function Taiko no Tatsujin AND Virtua Fighter?!

Just take my money already.

 

[vocab]

Fuck yes.

 

[spindashing]

holy wow

 

[DJIzana]

AWWW HELL YEAH!!!!!

Sega, you're FREAKING awesome!!!

 

[SoccerGoaliePro]

[rikichi]

[LiK]

Holy shit

 

[Wario64]

is this google translation or really confirmed?

 

[kurahador]

Whoa.

 

[Salsa]

pretty cool

then again, this is like one of those features where everyone gets excited yet no one ever plays it

 

[Emperor Bohe]

can I just have VF2 on xbox live with online play?

 

[onQ123]

Yo Dawg I heard you like games so we put a inside of your game so you can play games while you play games!

 

[LongDongJunon]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH BOY FINALLY AN ARCADE PERFECT HOME PORT!

...pls

 

[Tain]

pretty cool

then again, this is like one of those features where everyone gets excited yet no one ever plays it

it's true, and yet i can't stop being happy about this

Shenmue am cry...

 

[SolidSnakex]

A fully ported version of Virtua Fighter 2 is just one of Yakuza 5‘s many mini-games, this week’s Famitsu reveals. Through download content, you can even play the Sega classic fighter with two players.

Other mini-games include the Ramen Shop, Snowball Fight, and Chicken Race.

Nagoshi does what Yu don't

It says when you download the data from PSN, 2P battles will be possible.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Offline only Virtua Fighter 2 that can only be played from within another game? Loved Yakuza since the first one but er...I'll withhold my enthusiasm. Neat, but really, why would you spend time doing this in this day and age? That game's mechanics have been seriously eclipsed.

 

[BSTF]

Nice, wonder what version they're porting. What was the verdict on the PS2 version? I know Shun's stage was fixed but didn't hear much else.

 

[Data West]

pretty cool

I will. I hated that sidescrolling shooter, but I love Virtua Fighter 2.

Fun fact, if Yakuza 5 comes to the states, it'll be the first time VF 2.1 ever came out here.

 

[Akainu]

COOOOOOL.

 

[ezekial45]

That's awesome! I love it when modern games feature fully playable classic games.

 

[Yoshichan]

WOW.

 

[Shig]

Dated 3D is dated.

Gimme ports of arcade Outrunners or Fantasy Zone or something.

 

[The Return of]

I wanted to see an evolution of that first person fighting game from yakuza 2!!, but this is awesome too

One could argue that the mechanics from Super Street Fighter II Turbo have been eclipsed. That doesn't stop it from being a great fighting game.

Slamming the SEGA AGES 2500 release in there might be easier than writing a decent new minigame, for all we know.

+1 so hard

Yu puts the moves from VF in
Nagoshi puts the whole game in.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

It's really not the same thing. Because of the ease of maintaining physics & animations with 3D, VF games are far more iterative across versions than SF instalments. It's almost more like comparing SF II Champion Edition with SSF2 Turbo. There's no nostalgic VF2 scene.

 

[GameCenterXDS]

Hell yeah! Now bring it to Wii U Sega and Nintendo!

 

[MrCunningham]

Shenmue am cry...

Indeed.

This series is up to part five already, and I haven't played a single one. I wonder if I should take a look at some of them?

 

[Snaku]

What a nice feature to cut from the US release.

 

[Data West]

US release.

HAHAAHAH
HAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAH

 

[YoYo Switch]

wow. that's awesome. nagoshi, my man

 

[Jimrpg]

we definitely need alex kidd in wonderland from the master system!

reminds me of animal crossing on the gamecube and all the games you could unlock. thats what sega needs to do here!

 

[Oni Link 666]

Yu Suzuki am cry.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

A game within a game? That's pretty cool.

You'll most likely be able to select it from the title screen, you have been with most 2 player minigames in yakuza games

 

[Mistouze]

That's pretty cool, love me some Virtua Fighter. Now, let's give us some confirmation for a western release please.

 

[Augemitbutter]

Indeed.

This series is up to part five already, and I haven't played a single one. I wonder if I should take a look at some of them?

you don't want to be part of the problem, so you better get starting.

 

[Log4Girlz]

I love the art style of Virtua Fighter 2. My big dream is to have some huge RPG with character models and general detail around that level.

 

[DukeTogo1300]

Finally, a real game in the arcade. I would love to see some virtual rival list you have to work through, like with the fighting arena.
