Virtua Fighter Remix was an AM1 attempt to remake the Model 1 original on the ST-V Titan arcade board. This Saturn conversion hit worldwide in mid-1995.
Gameplay remains unchanged from the original, but the visuals have been stabilized and given textures to spice up the look of the game — with the tradeoff being that lighting effects have been suppressed.
In Japan, the standalone release was followed by a SegaNet version for online play in summer 1996. In North America, the game was bundled with early Saturns in a jewel case, mailed away for those who registered their consoles by a certain date in a sleeve, or available at retail in a longbox.
A Saturn fan since the beginning, Peter plays Saturn almost exclusively. For Peter, Saturn represents a moment in time where 2D games were at their best, 3D was just rising, and fascinating gaming ‘firsts’ were commonplace. There are very few Saturn games that Peter cannot find some enjoyment in!
The original is way better looking. It has graphical glitches but resembles the classic arcade original. Remix looks all wrong.
