Can't believe the Japanese release slipped by and I forgot about it. Gonna order it next week but I'd love to read impressions if anyone has it!

i'm a massive fan of the original. i hope this port is going to be near perfect.

will they re-texture Picky's skateboard?
does it have the plane taking off at the start of Tokio's stage?

awaiting people's impressions.

thanks in advance.

My copy has been shipped. I'm sure I'll play it for six minutes and then put it on my shelf with Ages VF2.

Heh, I loved Fighting Vipers...hope they throw this on a disc with VF2 and Last Bronx (never played it but always wanted to) and release it over here.

Hey AM2, how about Fighting Vipers 3 for Chihiro/Xbox?

 

[Milkman]

They need to have Pepsiman in it, or it's dead to me.

I have the Dreamcast version - which was OK but certainly not perfect - I don't really care that much about the PS2 version since I didn't like the Dreamcast game, or even the Model-3 arcade original

That was Fighting Vipers 2. The PS2 release is the original game, which came out on the Model 2 board and got a Saturn port. I don't understand WHY they chose the original, instead of putting out what could have been an arcade-perfect port of the sequel, but it's Sega, so I expect no less from them.

Too bad this version won't have Pepsiman.

Sega- Give us Fighter's Megamix with improved visuals on PS2. Forget all this other shit.

We need a proper conversion of Last Bronx. The Saturn version was hideous. Graphical glitches everywhere.

 

[Shinobi]

I think Last Bronx was announced a while ago, but it's yet to shown up. Sure hope it does...better yet, throw out a sequel.

 

[Lyte Edge]

I'd actually purchase Last Bronx, despite how incredibly shallow I remember the game play being. They better keep the Saturn features, or at least the opening cinema.

Last Bronx > Fighting Vipers

Here's a link to a movie that was supposed to be on the Japanese homepage, but for some reason didn't want to download for me.

Thanks to European game site- Gamekult.

Looks from this movie that it is PROBABLY arcade perfect... well, even moreso than VF Ages was as AM2 has developed "better texture compression" for Model2 ports to PS2. If so, I wanna see a VF2 Remix.

.... I love fighting vipers but I can honestly say that trailer was baddddddd................. Bad as in terrible...

Anyhow, as for the conversation it looks a low-res version of the arcade original.

Are you basing your opinion on that trailer? Cause basing opinions on downloadable trailers is well..... Anyway, judging from memory of actually playing the ARCADE version over at FunFactory/Hawaiian Brians, the opening cut-scene SEQUENCE looks to be faithful to the arcade. Whether all the polygons and textures are there is yet to be known until some nit-pick can actually play the game on a proper monitor (not TV) and compare both ARCADE and PS2 versions.

So how are you basing your baddddddd opinion??? I don't mean to be inflamatory, but it is this quick draw to judgement that just irks me... and causes a sorta "Salem Witch Hunt" snowball to get rolling every time.

Oh well, I'll buy the game no matter the criticisms or praise.
