Gamest was notorious for typos and print errors—one of my favs was when they accidentally advertised an Akuma unlock code for Dodonpachi Image
speaking of, Platine Dispositif released a remake of one of their mid-'00s doujin games on Switch this week, and both the title & subtitle are references to two of Gamest's more notorious typos store-jp.nintendo.com/list/software/…🇯🇵
"Zangyura" references a common misspelling of Zangief, and "Maid-san o migi ni" is a play on a famous misprinted phrase about the game Scud Race, "Indo-jin o migi ni!(Indian to the right!)" where whoever was doing the typesetting misread "handle(ハンドル)" as "Indian(インド人)"

Sega Japan's running a survey for Virtua Fighter eSports sega.jp/enquete/ps4-vf…🇯🇵 among other things, it asks ppl to rate their satisfaction with pretty much every aspect of the game /except/ netcode (but it does give plenty of opportunities for people to manually bring it up)
there's also a question that asks ppl to select the fighting games they've played before and/or are still playing now—UNIB is on there, which is nice to see, and MK's also on there besides not having an official Japanese release in ~25 years
in the question about potential future DLC, they ask ppl to select from these options:

character items
character items (returning)
crossover character items from other series
extra character models
extra stages
extra UI
stamps
in-game titles
other (text field)
none of the above

Sega producer Seiji "Usiman" Aoki talks Virtua Fighter eSports (Ultimate Showdown) famitsu.com/news/202105/28…🇯🇵
there had been regular discussions about reviving VF that went nowhere, but when talks of Sega's 60th anniversary started happening in 2019, that gave them they push they needed to finally bring it back

development hit full swing in February of 2020, right as pandemic measures…
…set in, which obviously made things difficult: this was not only the first collab between AM2 & Ryu ga Gotoku Studio but it also involved a lot of overseas studios, and because it was a Sega 60th project, it absolutely had to be released before June 3, 2020—they just made it

RGG brought their Akira body model into the studio Image
(I'm joking, that's Sega's eSports dude Miyazaki, you might also recognise him as the producer on various mini hardware projects)

they're talking about official tournament circuits for VFes, "season zero" of Challenge Cup will do online qualifiers in Aug/Sep & finals in October
Season Zero will be a strictly amateur event, hence "Zero"; the first full pro season will begin in April of 2022

they're also doing a 128-entrant pre-season event in July

that UI's very Yakuza-dev-build
they also confirmed 19 playable characters (same as previous versions, so nobody new) and that it's the final Sega 60th project
