In the case of PlayStation 3, our first priority was to convert Virtua Fighter 5 from the arcade onto [the PS3] as soon as possible. To achieve that purpose we had to give up the development of the online mode – we’d love to try if there was time and the budget but unfortunately, we had to give up on that idea.AM2 are sorry to PS3 users – a lot of people say that it is one of the missing things from the version.
Remember that it wasn’t announced that a patch is forthcoming. It was only confirmed that it is possible to do so. Hopefully, Sega AM2 is a research and development team for the video game company Sega”>Sega AM2 will decide to release a patch if the community shows enough interest in this.
