Virtua Fighter 5 punching its way to Xbox 360s this Halloween

July 25, 2007 in News comments 5

Sega's hotly anticipated Xbox 360 port of fast-paced arcade fighter Virtua Fighter 5 will be hitting US shores October 30. The Xbox 360 version boasts many improvements upon its PlayStation 3 and arcade brethren, the most notable of which being the addition of online play.

A European retail date has yet to be set. There are currently no plans for this version to be released in Asia.

Fighting fans have been waiting years for online play to be added to the Virtua Fighter series. Now they finally know exactly when that waits ends, as Sega today confirmed for GameSpot that the Xbox 360 edition of Virtua Fighter 5 will ship Tuesday, October 30.

    Just about to buy my copy for the PS3, and the Online feature does make me a little jealous that'll be quite good.

    It should be a great game and the long wait might be worth it with that. The graphics are looking hot it should be a pretty good seller.

    They delayed it? I thought it came out late last month. Ah well, not something I'd buy this year, even though the online feature is a plus...got enough games on my plate as it is.

    I was gonna get this on the PS3, but delayed and delayed and then it turns out the 360 version WILL have online, contrary to previous reports. Not high on my list, but I'll still be getting it.
