Virtua Fighter Kids SEGA Saturn Demo Disc - Restrictions Removed Patch









Quote
Bo: "There are previews of *Virtua Fighter Kids* on Saturn demo discs that are based on prototype builds of the game.
I patched out the demo restrictions and found some cool differences with the final.
The earliest build just uses the Virtua Fighter 2 options screen!

Normally the *Java Tea Original Virtua Fighter Kids* demo disc just lets you play a bit of Arcade and Versus mode, but some patches can make everything else available.
The Combo menu uses English in this build, but switches to Japanese in the final game.
The Options screen in the Java Tea demo mostly matches the final, but the demo on *Saturn Super Vol. 6* just uses the Virtua Fighter 2 Options screen.
The VF2 Options screen is also in the ST-V arcade version of VF Kids.
The *Tech Saturn Tsuushin Vol. 5* disc also has a pre-final build with different menus. The Key Assign screen is simpler, as is the Sound screen.

Got A Spare $8,000? Then You Could Own The Rarest Game On Sega Saturn

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AJ0nxcUuaY







Quote
The game, known as Delisoba ("delivery soba"), saw Japanese celebrities controlling a virtual motorcycle whilst trying to deliver soba (Japanese noodles).
Delisoba Deluxe is a home port of this game for Saturn that augments the experience by adding in a time attack mode and track editor.
As we've already said, the game was never available to buy in retail stores, but was given away at the show – it's not known if it was a prize given to contestants or if audience members received it.
Whatever the case may be, there are so few copies in circulation that Delisoba Deluxe is one of the most expensive games on ...

Here's a wacky cheat code for "Fighting Illusion Shou" on SEGA Saturn.









Quote
Bo: "Enter this sequence at the title screen:
A, Y, C, X, B, Z, L.

Then choose a fighter with Z or X.
You'll be playing as the ring girls!
Z gives you one of them;
X gives you both.

This alternate sequence lets you play as the ring girls in red outfits instead of yellow:
A, Y, C, X, B, Z, R"

Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki has passed away at 58







Quote
"The light of my life is about to run out," Itagaki wrote in his final post (translated from Japanese via Google Translate). He called his life a "series of battles" that he kept winning, and that despite the trials he stayed by his beliefs and has "no regrets." He expressed remorse for not being able to share his "new work" with fans.
He concluded his last message with a phrase in English: "so it goes."
Itagaki's peers from across the video game industry have shared messages mourning his loss. Tekken series director and producer Katsuhiro Harada called his passing "too soon" in ...

A cheat code for "Tennis Arena" (SEGA Saturn, 1997) that hasn't been published before.











Quote
Bo: "At the Smart Dog logo screen, enter Up, Down, Left, Right, A. This enables "Big head" mode...!

If you put in Up, Down, Left, Right, Start instead, the two bonus characters and one bonus court will be enabled. This cheat was known for the PSX version, but I don't think it was for the Saturn version.
