Please come overseas too. We never got the Index game (it allegedly did pretty bad in Japan) but these are just pure arcade titles that don't need much in the way of localizations and I'd love to play VOOT 5.66...

I like how this highlights the Temjin evolution design philosophy of "add more and more superfluous same color detailing".

Admittedly I'm less excited about Virtual On than I was years ago after getting tired of that classic hyper unintuitive control scheme, but hopefully local Sega's cool streak will continue and we'll get this.

Not confirmed. The producer of the series did say bringing the series west failed a lot so it's best to tell Sega US/Europe on social media that you want these. Even if we don't get the twin sticks the games are perfectly playable without them; I've talked to someone who's a relatively high level player and he said that even top players in Japan on the VOOT Xbox 360 port use regular old controllers.

I'll even go to bat on the fact that the old Dreamcast VOOT port is perfectly playable on the boat anchor of a controller if you take the time to mess around in training mode.

At least we'll be able to buy them on PSN even if they aren't localized. It's not like Virtual On is text-heavy.

I freaking loved Virtual On in the Saturn days, so I've been looking for any new news about this collection but haven't found anything. I guess that I'll just need to wait until more details arrive.
