I wonder if it's a glorified Wii Port or if it'll be hitting XBL. Would have prefered an original next generation entry.

Will there be a dedicated joystick for this game? MCN would freak out.

So wha's the jist?

Is the game they are releasing a good addition to the Viruta On Family? 1200, is this justified? Have to say this could be great fun on XBLA

SEGA is to convert its cult, twin-stick arcade mech fighter Virtual On Oratorio Tangram to Xbox Live Arcade, according to Japanese games bible Famitsu.

The Japanese magazine's report was spotted by Kotaku. The game will release in Japan in April for 1200 Microsoft Points (GBP 10.20 / EUR 14.40).

The specific version will be Cyber Troopers Virtual On Oratorio Tangram version 5.66, the final incarnation of the NAOMI arcade board that was converted for the Dreamcast. Virtual On hasn't seen a console release since 2003's Marz for the PS2.

It may not be the only Dreamcast game that SEGA looks to revive in this way. Late last year, Siliconera reported that the company had re-registered the trademark for its puzzler ChuChu Rocket as well as Sonic Shuffle, Cosmic Smash and Jet Grind Radio (the Japanese name for the superb graffiti-on-roller-skates adventure Jet Set Radio).

Of course, Rez has already made its way to Xbox Live Arcade, along with Namco's classic NAOMI beat-'em-up Soul Calibur.

Why not speculate on other Dreamcast favourites that might get a second, downloadable chance by heading over to our surprisingly popular round-up of Dreamcast Cult Classics.

Sega, you will be gods amongst men if this happens now. If Virtua On can make, this are certs, surely?

XBLA probably means there won't be a twinstick for it though :(

Great news, but trying to play this without the twin joysticks... you might as well forget it. I hope they bring one out or at least make the controls more pad friendly.

Will be easier to play on the twin stick standard 360 pad than the Saturn pad.

100 times THIS!

If the rumoured Chu-Chu Rocket comes out, then SEGA get all my love back.

The DC has a great back catalogue of games that would be amazing on 360. Many of them will also make great co-op XBLA games too. Zombie Revenge would be great! :P

It's a fantastic game.

I'd love to see the arcade version of Virtua Fighter 2 and Phantasy Star Online appear on XBLA.

Sega details XBLA VOOT remake

SEGA ANNOUNCES THE RETURN OF VIRTUAL ON

Xbox LIVE® Arcade Gamers Get the Chance to Relive the Arcade Classic

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (March 12th, 2009) - SEGA of Europe ltd. today announced the return of Virtual On™, the classic mech arcade fighting game. Players will be able to revisit the Virtual On universe with several enhancements which include improved graphics and online multiplayer. Cyber Troopers Virtual On Oratorio Tangram™ will be available Spring 2009 exclusively on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®.

Developed by SEGA’s AM3 division, famous for titles such as Crazy Taxi™ and Virtua Tennis™, Cyber Troopers Virtual On Oratorio Tangram™ is based on the latest arcade version of the second game in the franchise, which is critically acclaimed and widely considered to be the best in the series. Players will square off against an AI or human opponent as they dodge, shoot, and slice their way to victory in one of the game’s many futuristic environments. Since the Virtuaroids dash with such quick movement, players are required to diversify their tactics, all while keeping a keen eye and quick trigger finger.

Available for the first time on Xbox LIVE®, Virtual On features high-octane mech action with 15 playable Virtuaroids. Players can choose how they want to play as each mech has its own defining characteristics. The game delivers an online 1 vs. 1 multiplayer battle mode, as well as fast-paced single player action through 10 Arcade-mode levels and 14 Score attack stages. Virtual On features numerous ways to earn achievements as well as voice communication.

Cyber Troopers Virtual On Oratorio Tangram™ will be released exclusively on Xbox LIVE® Arcade in Spring 2009. For more information and assets, please visit www.sega-press.com
