Sega's " Virtua Fighter," the legendary title that laid the foundation for 3D fighting games when the first title in the series was released in arcades in 1993.
It was the first game in the world to use polygonal graphics, and it is also famous for being a social phenomenon.
I, as an elementary school student, cannot forget the craze in game arcades back then.
Sega's " Astro City Mini," released in December 2020, includes the first Virtua Fighter.
The latest numbered Virtua Fighter game was "Virtua Fighter 5" released in 2006, followed by "Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown" in 2010, and no new titles have been announced since. However, the "Tokyo Game Show 2020 Online" was held in October.
