Release of a prototype for Virtua Figther 3tb Dreamcast dated July 27th 1999,
5 days before the final European version.

Yu Suzuki, the father of Virtua Figther and later Shenmue, wanted the main martial arts of Japan and China to be represented: kung fu, kempo, ninjutsu, aikido, sumo, jeet kun do, wrestling, pancrach, kick boxin, drunken boxing and praying mantis.
These different fighting techniques could be played by choosing from 12 possible characters who fought in duels or in teams of 2 to 5 (Team Battle mode).
The fighters, although few in number, were really different from each other.

Sega and Yoko Taro’s 404 Game Re:set reimagines Sega games as women

THE MOBILE GAME HAS PLAYERS BATTLING SEGA TO RESTORE A WORLD IT CORRUPTED.

Yoko Taro, who serves as the game’s creative director, said: “It’s a game that features Sega’s IP, so I thought Sega should be in the game, but I didn’t think Sega would want to see a game that portrayed it well, so I portrayed it negatively.
“It’s a world that imagines that if things were to go well for Sega but then got out of control, it could end up like this.”

Sega in the Media: Pro wrestler knocked out with a Sega Dreamcast!?

Indeed, during this match, Moose attempted to taunt reigning champion Joe Hendry by “flipping the bird” at him.
Joe responded in kind by pulling out the beloved 128-bit dream machine and “flipping the lid”, i.e. opening the Dreamcast’s disc drive lid.

Trivia : Akira Yuki has a sister name Aoi Yuki in Manga version

Managed to scan the first volume before reading it. In the Virtua Fighter Akira's Fist manga, the book introduces Akira's family.
He has a sister name Aoi Yuki, who's also taught the Yuki fighting style by their grandfather, unlike in the VF anime, named Subaru.
Speaking of Aoi Yuki! In Maximum (UK) Issue #2, Yu Suzuki originally thought Aoi Umenokoji was going to be Akira's sister but was proven wrong by his AM2 staff.
But, I do wonder if she was going to be introduced in the game?
