There you have it; Akira Yuki from Virtua Fighter in Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax!
Akira appears as a part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of the release of the original Virtua Fighter. His appearance in Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is that of a boss character who is partnered with Pai Chan as a support character.
As Akira only appears as a boss character he is not playable in the arcade game. Fingers crossed this will change if the game gets a home console release.
Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is out in Japanese arcades this Spring.
Along with yesterday’s announcement that Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will be getting a Japanese release in May, we now have the first official Japanese trailer! Check it out:
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed releases on May 15th for PS3 and Wii U in Japan.

There’s quite a bit of new information floating around regarding SEGA’s new arcade fighting game Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax.
While the game features a cast of characters from various anime and manga series’, SEGA fans will be interested in the Sonic the Hedgehog stage (see above). The graphics seem to be taken from Green Hill in Sonic Generations.
Also announced is that Akira from Virtua Fighter will appear as a boss character. Other character announcements include the inclusion of Kirito from Sword Art Online.
Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is due to hit Japanese arcades this spring with demos available to play at the Japan Amusement Expo on February 14th and 15th at Makuhari Messe near Tokyo.
Takara Tomy have revealed the action figure to end all action figures in the form of the Transformer Megatron who can now transform into a Mega Drive!
The figure was revealed at the recent Winter Wonder Festival in Japan but without paintwork. Presumably the figure is due for a Japanese release but no word has been given as to when this will happen at this time. Fingers crossed the figure makes it to the West as well!
Hero Bank, the upcoming RPG/fighter for the 3DS will be getting its own anime series in Japan. The series starts broadcasting in April, only a month after the games Japanese release.
Hero Bank is currently Japan exclusive but here’s hoping SEGA West pull their finger out and start giving us some new games to play. The game launches on March 20th.
SEGA of Japan have launched a 20th anniversary Virtua Fighter website. You can access the website by clicking here.
The website is looking a bit sparse at the moment with the only real content being a video of the original game, but the fact that SEGA are acknowledging Virtua Fighter’s 20th anniversary must mean they have something up their sleeve. New merchandise? A sale on existing games? A whole new game altogether!? Only time will tell.
Keep an eye on the website as it also contains a blog which is bound to be updated in the near future. Excitement!
