Virtua Fighter 1

Le jeu

Virtua Fighter for the Sega Saturn, released in 1995, was Sega’s groundbreaking 3D fighting game that helped define the genre’s future. Originally developed by AM2 under Yu Suzuki, it was the first fully polygonal fighter, introducing players to a realistic combat system focused on timing, movement, and precision rather than flashy special moves. Featuring a roster of eight distinct martial artists, each with authentic fighting styles, Virtua Fighter showcased the Saturn’s 3D capabilities and set a new standard for depth and realism in fighting games. Though its early Saturn port suffered from rough visuals and lower frame rates compared to the arcade version, its gameplay remained intact — and it became a cornerstone of Sega’s legacy, influencing nearly every 3D fighting game that followed.
