Description

"Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series, Volume 03: Akira Yuki" is a unique addition to the Sega Saturn library, primarily targeted at fans of the groundbreaking "Virtua Fighter" series. This game is not a typical fighting game but rather a special collectible item that showcases a detailed collection of computer-generated (CG) images and videos of Akira Yuki, one of the most iconic characters from the series. Released exclusively in Japan in 1996, this title is the third installment in a series of Virtua Fighter CG Portrait discs designed to provide an in-depth look at each fighter's characteristics, styles, and backgrounds.

This volume offers an array of features including a slideshow of high-quality CG portraits, various poses, and action sequences of Akira Yuki, giving fans a closer look at his design and animation. It also includes a unique "watch mode" where players can view a showcase of Akira performing his martial arts techniques in a controlled environment, demonstrating the game's advanced (for the time) 3D modeling and animation technology. The Virtua Fighter CG Portrait Series serves more as a fan service and an exhibition of Sega's early prowess in 3D character modeling, capturing the attention of Virtua Fighter enthusiasts and collectors of unique video game memorabilia. This series is a testament to the experimental and multimedia-focused nature of the mid-90s, pushing the boundaries of what could be provided within a video game console format.
