Boom! Virtua Fighter 2 iPhone has kicked its way into the iTunes App Store. The game is a port of the old Mega Drive game so expect rough and ready 2D visuals rather than the 3D of the Sega Saturn-era. There’s eight playable characters in the game and single player tournament mode but the best feature is Bluetooth battle mode which means you can engage in vs. fights with iOS-device-packing friends. Virtua Fighter 2 iPhone is in the iTunes App Store now.

The Sega Retro-Gen has launched in the US. It, like the handheld or set-top Blaze Sega Mega Drive already available in the UK, is a licensed retro console, not made by Sega itself for gamers to play old Mega Drive and Genesis games on. But this time, the Sega Retro-Gen has a few tricks up its sleeve.
The Sega Mega Drive, one of the most fondly-remembered consoles of the past, is due to be relaunched at the end of April… for the second time.
There are some things from the 90’s we hope never make a comeback, such as Ant and Dec’s music ‘career’. But one thing we’re glad to see returning is the SEGA Mega Drive in all its 16bit retro glory, in handheld form.
