Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown Announced For Consoles

Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown for Xbox 360 and PS3 has been announced for consoles as a downloadable digital title via Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, with a target release date of Summer 2012.

Virtua Fighter 5: Online is quite a bit old now, having originally hit the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2007. Thankfully fans of the series will get some new stuff with the Final Showdown version of VF5.

Instead of giving fans what they really want (Virtua Fighter 6), Sega will be overhauling Virtua Fighter 5 with an all-new animation system, two all-new characters, brand-new customizable items, and combat mechancics that have been tweaked and tightened up, as well as all-new costumes for your favorite characters. It will also feature full online play, naturally, and Achievements and Trophies to earn.

Here is the debut trailer for Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown for XBLA and PSN.
