Fighting Vipers, Sonic the Fighter, and Virtua Fighter Coming to XBLA and PSN as Sega Model 2 Collection…in Japan

After receiving ratings from Germany's entertainment software regulating body, there was hope over the possibility of some of Sega's previous arcade hits - Virtua Fighter 2 and Fighting Vipers - coming to home consoles (again). And they are, just not in the States. Not yet at least.

The titles are part of the Sega Model 2 Collection, which also include Cyber Troopers Virtual-On, Virtua Striker and Sonic the Fighters, a truly bizarre fighter featuring the fuzzy hedgehog mascot duking it out alongside his animal pals against Robotnik and his creations.

All the titles were were made by Sega's AM2 development team, and were based on the Model 2 arcade board,. Even the fighters featured similarly structured control layouts, using basic kick, punch, and block buttons.

The arcade classics will be available Nov. 28, and will cost 400 MS Points each on XBLA, or available as a bundle on PSN for 1,500 yen.

Hopefully a US release is in the works, I do so miss those arcade beat 'em ups...
