During the Tekken World Tournament 2018 finals stream, Tekken director and producer Katushiro Harada made an interesting comment to the effect that, even if SEGA gave them the VF license and dev team, the hardcore VF community would still reject the game just by seeing the Bandai Namco on the startup screen. So, do you agree?

We've speculated and speculated some more about whether or not a new Virtua Fighter was in the works, and now we've got more fuel to add to the speculative fire! Siliconera recently reported that SEGA had filed to renew the existing trademark for Virtua Fighter, along with a new trademark for a title called 'Battle Genesis'. What could this mean?

Akira Yuki of Virtua Fighter series has been revealed as an Assist Trophy for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!

You may be aware of the many Virtua Fighter references in pop culture, but did you know what influence VF had on the making of Ghost in the Shell? From the GITS director himself, Mamoru Oshii-san: "When people ask about Ghost, I actually think of VF2."

Did you know there have been references to Virtua Fighter in the X-Files TV Series? How about the Anime series Ben-To? Or the pop song "Ready to Go!" by Republica?

Pin-san and his fellow writers at Yuzumo Design have done several phenomenal self-published game history books about important titles like Space Harrier, Darius, Phantasy Star, and Wizardry. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Virtua Fighter, he's assembled a truly amazing book packed with interviews with key figures in the history of the VF community (including one with our own Myke!), features on aspects of VF's history, original artwork and manga, and stories about personal experiences with VF.

The 17th Beat Tribe Cup has been announced!
Taking place over the weekend of 23-24 of March as part of the 'Fighting God Festival'.

Traditionally the tournament with the largest number of entrants and the peak of Virtua Fighter competition, the event is a 5 on 5 team tournament. Each year has garnered over 100 teams! The Beat-Tribe cup was originally known as the 'Athena Cup' and has been running since 1994.

Details for registration and more information will be coming soon.

Sega has revealed the results of their Sega Ages poll! Virtua Fighter Series comes in an #4.

With the announcement of Virtua Racing being a part of the Switch's Sega Ages lineup, could there be more 3D arcade games in the works?

SoCal Regionals 2018 saw another Virtua Fighter tournament take place, thanks to Dropkick Events who also run weekly Virtua Fighter meet ups.
