{"product_id":"cyber-troopers-virtual-on-jp-sega-saturn","title":"Cyber Troopers Virtual-On - JP Sega Saturn","description":"\u003cp\u003eCyber Troopers Virtual-On for the Sega Saturn is the home port of Sega AM3's landmark 1995 arcade mech combat game — a genre-defying hybrid of 3D fighting and third-person shooter that became one of the most celebrated arcade experiences of its era. Set in a dystopian corporate future where humanity has spread to other planets and discovered alien technology capable of creating giant mechanized soldiers called Virtuaroids, a rogue supercomputer has seized control of the testing ground and activated an ultimate weapon called the Sun Cannon. Eight elite Virtuaroids and their pilots set out to destroy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBattles are one-on-one across ten fully 3D arenas where players can run, dash in any direction, climb structures, take cover behind buildings, and fight across multiple rounds. Each of the eight Virtuaroids — Temjin, Fei-Yen, Apharmd, Belgdor, Raiden, Dorkas, Bal-Bas-Bow, and Viper II — has entirely different weapons, movement speed, and attack range. Ranged combat dominates at a distance, but closing to melee range transforms basic attacks into more devastating strikes, creating a constant push-pull between suppressive fire and aggressive rushdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe game was designed around twin-stick arcade controls — each joystick independently controls movement and aiming — and Sega released a dedicated Saturn Twin Stick peripheral specifically for this game. It is fully playable on the standard Saturn pad, but the Twin Stick is the definitive way to experience it. Two-player online multiplayer was supported via the Saturn NetLink and XBAND services. The Saturn port was later bundled with the console itself in Japan — a mark of how significant Sega considered the game to its platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in Japan on November 29, 1996, the game spawned a beloved franchise including Oratorio Tangram on Dreamcast and has remained a cult favorite among mech game enthusiasts ever since. This is the Japanese import disc. The Sega Saturn is region-locked and this disc will only play on a Japanese Sega Saturn or a region-free modded unit. Gameplay menus are largely the same as the Western release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull Title:\u003c\/strong\u003e 電脳戦機バーチャロン (Dennō Senki Bācharon \/ Cyber Troopers Virtual-On)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese — gameplay menus largely identical to Western release\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e N\/A (Japan release)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatform:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sega Saturn\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3D Mech Combat \/ Action Fighter\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–2 players (local and online via NetLink\/XBAND)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sega AM3\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sega\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1996 (Japan release: November 29, 1996)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant: The Sega Saturn is region-locked.
