In a new interview over on Kikizo, Sega's AM2 division veteran Makoto Osaki and conversion designer Tohru Murayama spoke about all things Virtua Fighter related. In the interview, the question of bringing older Virtua Fighter games to the Virtual Console was brought up, as well as the possibility of Virtua Fighter Kids 2 on Wii. Below are some choice quotes:
Kikizo: Looking at Sega Ages series, you must be aware that re-releases of older games can prove very popular. Services like Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Store and Wii Virtual Console are taking this opportunity further - so how about some perfect remakes of VF1, VF2 or especially VF3? Or perhaps other Model 1/2/3 titles too?Makoto Osaki: The major point here is that there needs to be loads of demand from the players. If there is a place of business in it, there would be no reason to hesitate to develop remakes, but I believe this matter should be determined after more elaborate research.
Kikizo: Finally... how about a Virtua Fighter Kids 2 for the Wii?Makoto Osaki: I personally have not thought about this combination! If the market demands it, and it can work in a business sense, it could be taken up as an object for consideration.
