I never really took notice, or cared enough to notice until someone pointed it out, but when Virtua Fighter 5 REVO was announced and someone said when are we just going to get a new one I was like, "what do you mean? This is new". Then I realized...hold on...Ive been hearing the same voice say Virtua Fighter 5 for the past decade, and thats what they meant lol.

I think Sega has taken the crown when it comes to staying stuck on a single entry for the longest time with continuous updated expansions. Every fighting game tends to do it; BlazBlue had Continuum Shift-Continuum Shift II-Continuum Shift Extend, Chrono Phantasma-Chrono Phantasma Extend, etc. And I always felt like Capcom took the cake when it comes to their multi versions with: SF2-SF2: Champion-SF2: Turbo-Super SF 2-Super SF2 Turbo, all the Alpha version, all the SF3 versions, all the SF4 version, and all the SF5 versions.

But man...Virtua Fighter 5 has been around since 2006 and they are still stuck on it. I wonder why they keep releasing updated expansions and havent moved on to Virtua Fighter 6 yet.
