Is there a reason why support for VF ended after FS? My guess would be sales (but obviously VF5FS would have high sales considering it was just a port and wasn't well known). As far as I'm concerned the series is dead which is a shame because it paved the way for other 3D fighters similar to Street Fighter paving the way for 2D fighters. If Sega poured more resources into it like they did with Sonic and Yakuza it would have done well. Ironically, Sega killed off a lot of their good ip's; Jet Set Radio, VF, Shenmue, and Shinobi (which had a good ost but Ninja Gaiden probably put that game in the grave lol).

Well it turned out to be Shenmue 1&2 collection.

What the hell is Sakura Wars?
So this is what VF and Jet Set Radio lost to? That sucks.
In all fairness, out of everything that happened in that list, Shenmue 1&2 got an HD Remaster, Virtual-On has a new game out, and Shining has a new game also coming out.
AM2 team is currently busy with porting Border Break to PS4. But hey... the closest thing we have is VF5FS in Yakuza 6, which comes out tomorrow.

Reminder that the JSR ost is iconic.
I await the day that VF finally gets a sequel, When It does I think I'll get it to maybe check out and play a VF game. I watched some tournament footage too of VF5.

One thing I learned is that survey in Japan was based on the SEGA IPs that fans want to see again. Virtua Fighter was #5 on the list. Also, #6 is supposed to be Panzer Dragoon. This was shown during SEGAFes 2018.
a new Sakura Wars is already in development so technically JSR should be first =.=
I completely forgot about Skies of Arcadia. That one was a really good JRPG actually. Jet Set Radio and Sonic Adventure was how I got into the Dreamcast and got me into gaming more often than ever during those times. Jet Set Radio's OST like Jade mentioned was pretty awesome to hear and JSR on the DC was a blast including JSRF for the Xbox.
Not only would I vote for Jet Set Radio, but I'd also vote for Skies of Arcadia and another Panzer Dragoon. VF as well. Shenmue is already coming so that one is finally checked and really good to see back.

There will be a VF5FS side tournament at EVO 2018. https://smash.gg/tournament/virtua-fighter-5-final-showdown-side-tourney-evo-2018/details

Sakura Wars is a great series and not surprising that it won a popularity contest given it's a Japanese poll. It has cute anime girls, giant mechs, and an interesting setting. What's not to like?
That said, Sega is being pretty stupid about not reviving VF during what's possibly the biggest FGC boom ever.

This is great news! Though, Suzuki, don't go with Deep Silver again please.

Awesome. It will be very hard to top VF5:FS though...
