Playing it again today, however, the visuals are actually quite respectable for a Genesis title. Honestly, part of me died a little inside when I first tried that version of the game, especially with the sprite graphics, which struck me as ugly at the time. VF2 for the Genesis was the furthest from next-gen you could get, with all the music and visuals built from the ground up to fit into a 16 bit cartridge. In an odd turn of events the Genesis ended up getting a version of Virtua Fighter 2 nearly a year after it hit the Saturn. Being forced to settle for it felt bittersweet at the time, given that it was (understandably) devoid of all the flashy 3D that made the Saturn classic so special. It’s a timeless classic in nearly every sense of the term, close to perfect where it counts, and as playable today as it was three generations ago. Not to mention, the Saturn controller is still arguably best tool for fighting games.

The gameplay was so deep and refined that it still shines by today’s fighting game standards. The game had super crisp visuals running at an ultra smooth and silky 60 frames per second, which is rare even today. VF2′s saturn was a technical marvel, one of the most eye-popping graphical showpieces of its era. The Saturn had its fair share of moments in the sun, and Virtua Fighter 2 was one of the brightest. It didn’t happen often, but one particularly bittersweet example is Virtua Fighter 2. Occasionally the Saturn got enhanced editions of Genesis titles, but a more peculiar occurrence was when the Genesis received watered down renditions of popular Saturn games. SEGA made the distinction even more difficult by supporting the Genesis years after the Saturn’s release - and converting it into a competing 32-Bit console with the 32X.

Trying to convince my parents why the SEGA Saturn was worth the price of admission was tough, especially when we already had a Genesis in the house. This was especially difficult in the ’90s, when the internet was barely budding, and video games had nowhere near their current pop culture clout. When you’re a kid without a whole lot of money, one of the hardest things in the world is convincing your parents to double down on a new console. With Version Control we seek to catalog these differences, stack them up against each other, and determine which system, if any, hosts a game’s definitive port. Be they small differences in frame rates or fundamental changes in mechanics and features, these variations can drastically change the feel of a game. The sound has an annoying static sound each time a player hits another player.When games jump from platform to platform, changes are inevitable. The graphics are kinda bad and each character has only some moves from Virtua Fighter 2. The Bottom LineThis game should of been named Virtua Fighter Genesis Remix instead of Virtua Fighter 2 Genesis or should of included Shun Di and Lion Rafale as playable characters. The BadShun Di and Lion Rafale the new characters for Virtua Fighter 2 aren't in the game, there are only 5 background stages which vary for each character, the hidden options are useless except for the Stage Select, each character only has one win pose after they win the match, no alternate costumes except different colors for each character, only background stages are Kage, Jeffry, Sarah, Akira, and Dural, only three modes which are Arcade, Versus, and Options. The GoodThe slow-motion when you fight Dural, different costume colors for each character, different background color schemes 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful write a review of this game
