I have been teasing this series for a very long time...ever since I did the Sega Arcade Racing Retrospective last year...and that's because it took a VERY LONG TIME to make...a thirty episode retrospective on every Sega Model 1, Sega Model 2 and Sega Model 3 arcade game ever made that isnt a racing title! Because Sega is the undisputed (in my opinion) king of retro gaming in arcades whether it be 2D or 3D!
Just don't expect Daytona USA, Scud Race or Sega Rally...as that already happened back in 2023! Check the playlists!
But the Sega Model series of arcade boards are filled to the bring with some of the best Sega games of all time...as well as some Sega Hidden Gems!

Up next: Virtua Fighter 2...with weapons! Well Last Bronx to be exact as this is ANOTHER 3D fighting game from Sega on the Model 2 arcade board and Sega Saturn that uses the Virtua Fighter engine...except this time as a weapons based arcade fighting game
While I love the original Virtua Fighter you can still tell Sega was playing with the 3D fighting game formula and there was definitely some room for new experiences! Well Last Bronx decided to experiment with the fighting game formula after Namco saw success with Soul Edge in arcades and on PS1. This is definitely not a PlayStation 1 game though!
It's just such a classic arcade fighting game and I'd consider it a bit of a Sega Hidden Gem as it was not anywhere near as successful in the US as it was in the Japan fighting game scene!
Plus it got a really great Sega Saturn port and was brought over to PS2 as well!
and the best part is you can use the "Model 2 Emulator" to play the arcade original if you don't have an original arcade PCB!
