Virtua Fighter is coming to mobile in Europe, courtesy of Glu Mobile.
The game is due out in June, according to a roadmap published in industry magazine Mobile Entertainment.
It's not a huge surprise, given that Glu has a partnership with Sega to bring the latter's console brands to mobile.
This is presumably a Java game for western handsets, rather than the version that was
announced last month for FOMA 950i phones in Japan.
It's undoubtedly one of the biggest and most respected beat-'em-up brands in the world. But there are two main questions about
Virtua Fighter Mobile. First, can it work on a mobile? By which we mean the fluid 3D animation and the controls specifically.
And second, will the hardcore fans of
Virtua Fighter turn up their noses at a mobile version? It's a tough sell, although Glu at least has experience of targeting such a picky console audience with
Pro Evolution Soccer.
We'll bring you a hands-on preview as soon as we can, so click 'Track It!' for an alert whenever we cover
Virtua Fighter Mobile.
