The unreleased Sega Saturn port of Prize Fighter has now officially been dumped and made available for download online, thanks to Screaming Villains and the former Limited Run Games CEO Josh Fairhurst.Back in September of 2025, William Mesa, the founder of Flash Film Works (the Visual Effects company that bought the rights to many of Digital Pictures' games following the studio's closure in 1996), announced that Fairhurst had "personally" bought the rights to several of Digital Pictures' games.This eventually led to an announcement at Limited Run Games' 10th Anniversary Special that the company would be rereleasing Prize Fighter and Slam City with Scottie Pippen on modern consoles and PC in 2026, with Prize Fighter: Heavyweight Edition landing on PS4, PS5, and PC last month.Since then, ...

Tosaki-san went over to ask Junichi Naoi, henceforth Naoi-san, about it since he was part of the team working on it at the time. Naoi-san had previously worked at Hitachi, where he helped design their SH-1 and SH-2 processors. That’s the same SH-2 that was doubled up and used as the two main processors in both the Saturn and the 32X. He then moved over to Sega in 1994, during the final months of the Saturn’s pre-production, to help finalize its design with cost reduction in mind.Work on Project TRIP started with the very same thing that pushed Sega’s designers to equip the Saturn with 3D acceleration in the first place: Virtua Fighter. Naoi-san and his co-workers at Hitachi were playing Virtua Fighter almost constantly, and he found himself especially enamored with Virtua Fighter 3 as that was getting ready to debut in arcades. Being a Model 3 game, of course, creating a Saturn port of Virtua Fighter 3 even half as faithful to how the arcade game performed was an impossibility. Naoi-san set out to create a hardware add-on that could allow the Saturn to produce something reasonably close enough. He spoke with Japanese semiconductor company NEC to help him come up with ...
