Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown rated in Korea for PS4



Quote
Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown has recently been rated by Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea with it being originally listed as “Virtua Fighter Esports” for PlayStation 4.
Could it be an enhanced port of Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown that everyone has been asking for since Playstation Network will be shutting down soon on Playstation 3 and other previous Playstation products?

Yeah..
Puyo Puyo eSport's title was changed into Puyo Puyo Champions in the west.
Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown's probably international / western title for Virtua Fighter eSports.

Rumour: Smash Ultimate Fans Think Fighters Pass Vol. 2 Might Get A Bonus Seventh Character



Quote
A Reddit user going by the name of RiuBert has theorised that the game's second batch of DLC, the 'Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol. 2', could well be getting a bonus seventh character on top of the six slots that have already been promised.
Immediate, over-excited thoughts jump to a potential seventh fighter, which could well be true, although it could also relate to an echo fighter, another bonus costume, or something else entirely.

SEGA of America Producer and Designer Michael Latham, best known for Eternal Champions, passes away



Quote
During 1994 SEGA America would restructure its development teams which resulted in ‘Omega Group’ to lose its Director at the time, Scott Berfield, which was filled by Michael Lathan.
He was then producing titles like Home Alone, Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude! and his most popular title Eternal Champions.

SEGA PlayStation 3 PSN Titles To Buy Before Sony Shuts Down the Store



Quote
Hard not to start the list with Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, especially since its the last big release of a original IP by SEGA-AM2 studios (Hatsune Miku isn’t a SEGA owned IP).
I will say that your PlayStation 3 fighting game collection can’t be complete without Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown.

PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita Will Continue Operations
PSP commerce functionality will retire on July 2, 2021 as planned





Quote
Jim Ryan, President & CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment :
"Recently, we notified players that PlayStation Store for PS3 and PS Vita devices was planned to end this summer.
Upon further reflection, however, it’s clear that we made the wrong decision here.
So today I’m happy to say that we will be keeping the PlayStation Store operational for PS3 and PS Vita devices.
PSP commerce functionality will retire on July 2, 2021 as planned."
