‘The re-releases of Cyber Trooper Virtual-On and Virtua Striker are restricted to Japan, SEGA announced today.
The SEGA AM2 duo are coming to Japan’s PSN and XBLA on February 13, but unlike Sonic the Fighters, Virtua Fighter 2, and Fighting Vipers, the three games they were originally teased alongside, Japan is as far as they’ll go.’
January 30th, 2013 at 8:16 am This is a big, big disappointment for me. Surely we’re not talking millions of dollars to release two XBLA/PSN games in the west, are we? Hmph!
January 30th, 2013 at 8:49 am Pfff, I was looking forward to Virtua Striker!
January 30th, 2013 at 8:54 pm Why not release in the other country’s too? It could make them some much needed money & im shure there are plenty of people who would buy them.

February 2nd, 2013 at 7:17 am I will always be a SEGA fan, but stuff like this is impossible to defend. This is a gut-wrenching announcement for me. The games are finished, completely in English and would sell based soley on them being cheap games with easy achievements. The only thing this would cost SEGA is to have them rated by the ESRB, PEGI and similar companies, which is not at all expensive. If broke companies like CAVE Co can manage releases like Guwange and DeathSmiles IIX for several regions then what the Hell is SEGA’s excuse?!
February 3rd, 2013 at 2:11 am Your on a sega fan app talking **** about sega gamer fans? Maybe you need to get your head straightened out!!!
February 4th, 2013 at 6:00 am FYI, sega is far from broke. They just had a bad year in 2012. Since sega/sammy merged a along time ago & pachinco machines selling well they have about 2 billion in reserve and thats dollars not yens. So thats why they can afford to buy right now. Alot has to do with the growth of asia, not japan necessary..
