ADVANCED V.G. Saturn Tribute brings back the classic 1997 2D fighter with updated mechanics, story mode, and one-button Super Moves. Coming soon to PC via Steam.
🎮 ADVANCED V.G. Saturn Tribute: A Retro Fighting Classic Reborn
The beloved retro fighting game series ADVANCED V.G. (Variable Geo) is returning with a modern twist in ADVANCED V.G. Saturn Tribute, developed and published by CITY CONNECTION. Originally released on consoles in 1997, this version is revamped for PC, complete with modern support features while preserving its signature anime charm and fierce combat mechanics.
If you’re a fan of anime-style fighters, retro 2D gameplay, and fast-paced combos, this re-release is one to keep on your radar.
💥 What Is ADVANCED V.G.?
ADVANCED V.G. is part of the classic Variable Geo series that debuted on PC in 1993. Its unique concept of restaurant industry heroines turned fighters, paired with anime cutscenes and simple-yet-strategic combat, made it a cult favorite.
In this updated version, players will engage in intense 2D battles using special moves, combos, throws, and Super Moves—a technique that turns the tide of battle when you’re low on health.
The game is more than a nostalgia trip—it’s a fully supported Saturn Tribute edition packed with QoL features and gameplay enhancements.
