Sega today confirmed the release date for the Xbox 360 version of Virtua Fighter 5. The date: October 30, 2007.
New to the Xbox 360 version, Virtua Fighter 5 will be based on the most current arcade game update and feature both analog stick and D-pad control, as well as vibration support. Arcade Mode will now include online leaderboards that will allow you to compare your single-player fighting prowess with people all over the world.
You’ll also be able to download arcade matches and learn the techniques of the top players on the leaderboard. The game will also include a more robust Quest Mode featuring more CPU rivals, as well as selectable character items and emblems for character customization.
The DOJO mode has also received some added features including new leader-board post sections, move locks to practice and perfect a particular move, throw escape training, the option to change your opponent’s foot position, and changing how your opponent recovers from falls to broaden your over all fighting strategy. It will also be possible to save characters created in the Quest Mode on a Memory Unit and play with those characters against other people’s customized characters in the VS Mode on other Xbox 360 systems.
