The most recent game in the series was Virtua Fighter 5, released back in 2006.

    I'd rather see a sega control pad come out so that 360 owners can get the full benefit of the VF5 we've got.

    Tried the SFIV controller, its got a far too squishy dpad. :(

    Your playing Virtua Fighter wrong then.

    The Saturn Version used:

    On Dreamcast you should have used:

    On PS2 the choice was easy as Hori made the right stick:

    On PS3 there is a Hori stick that is just as good.

    Not the bloody joypad!

    Final Showdown will be a download only game, which is a bit of a bummer. I thought SEGA would of knocked out VF 6 by now. But VF 5 is still an ace game, but I think the best one was VF 4 Evo on the PS2. But VF 5 on the Xbox 360 is better than the PS3 version.

    Only_777- I grew up playing all these old sega games at home, with the control pads. As hard as | tried, arcade sticks just didn't click with me ;)

    Shame too as there are some cool looking sticks out there:)
    (The Blazblue+ Soul Calibur sticks look fantastic Cerberus)

    Really? That's a bit like not 'clicking' with a steering wheel when playing a driving game. Oh well, that's a shame. :(

    Honest to goodness KesMonkey.

    Its just not natural to me, I struggle doing the dragonpunch command. Far more at home with a good controller with a proper dpad;)

    (No probs with steering wheels tho)
