UPDATE: The three Model 2 Fighters (VF2, FV, STF) will be bundled for $15 on PSN. Those three come out this fall and the other two are “Winter 2013” These are Japanese dates so no official dates for America/Europe yet.
HOLY S@#$!!
Remember when the rumor of this was first leaked and I asked Sega for a playable Honey the Cat? My wish came true!
Coming this fall through winter (to Japan at least) is a Model 2 Collection. five of Sega’s classic Model 2 games retailing roughly around 800MS Points ($10) each while if the translation is correct, PSN gets a 3-pack for $15. Some games prices are not known yet. This is a rough translation. Games included are…
Virtua Fighter 2
Sonic the Fighters
Virtua Striker
Fighting vipers
Virtual On
It is unknown what bonus features will be included at this time except for the 3 newly playable characters in Sonic The fighters. It appears that through a poor translation, most if not all five games should have online, though it’s not 100% confirmed. UPDATE: OFFICIAL SITE CONFIRMS VF2, FIGHTING VIPERS AND STF TO HAVE 2-PLAYER ONLINE! Did Sega hire a wish-granting Genie? rough translation after the jump. Also, you can check out the official site here.

Thank you Jesus! To the highest praise! We SO gotta have a community gathering.
The House of the Dead and Virtua Cop next please.
Big yes on Virtual Cop. Can’t play it on Saturn due to it being on a HDTV.
Is it a problem of not having enough space for a CRT TV at your place? Because people are pretty much giving away Trinitron TVs these days, if you check your local classified ads.
Yea. I’ve been having my Saturn hooked up on my niece’s CRTV for awhile now.It’s the only way.
Man. Sega is turning into SNK with all these re-releases. I wonder if we may get a new Virtual-On if this original sells well. I don’t know how the Dreamcast version/port did on PSN/XBLA.
VOOT on XBLA was one of the best selling digital titles on 360 in Japan, that’s why they did the port of VON Force retail.
But a NEW Virtual On game…unlikely even with the success of this new re-release.
BTW I wish this Model 2 collection would be a retail collection 🙁
Yeah a disc collection would be nice. Maybe though. They did it with the first “Dreamcast collection.”
I’m furry for Honey the Cat.
@_@
I’d rather have Daytona 2, but then again that’s a Model 3 game.
I’m guessing model 3 is the next collection or re-releases.
It looks like the floodgates have been opened to lead the way for more SEGA legacy ports. Hopefully the Model 2 collection is programmed well. As long as it’s handled better than Sonic Adventure and Get Bass, it should be fine.
See Sega, stuff like this is what you need to do. Forget new games because you’re shot. Just do old arcade, Saturn and Dreamcast games for XBLA all all is good. Still waiting for that 80’s arcade collection so I can finally get my Space Fury on without hooking up my Colecovision.
They should never give up making new games. They need to release all these gems to audiences that never played them before, and make them more accessible to the people who already loved them.

Do you have any contributors who can read/write/speak Japanese? If not feel free to ask me any time you need help translating anything. I’d love to help, and it’s good practice for me.
Back when I was a kid, Virtua Fighter 2 was rated 3+
Modern kids are pussies.
