Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Masterpiece: 1995-2001 brings its three Virtual-On titles in one bundle for PS4 tomorrow (November 27, 2019) in Japan. Sega released a new trailer that highlights the three titles.
The games in the collection are Virtual On: Cyber Troopers, Cyber Troopers: Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram, and Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Force. In addition to online battles, players can hold tournaments and team battles in online rooms.
Furthermore, all three games work with Tanita’s Twin Stick joysticks to give it more of an authentic Virtual-On feel.
Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Masterpiece: 1995-2001 releases for PlayStation 4 in Japan on November 27, 2019.
Even though this trailer is in Japanese, you can understand the jest of what is being offered in the bundle. Virtual-On: Cyber Troopers (commonly referred to as Operation Moongate or VOOM), its sequels, Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram (VOOT) and Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Force are all included in this bundle.
I revisited Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram on XBLA a few months ago and noticed that the online matchmaking was pretty much dead. The game is backwards compatible for Xbox One now, so that might have changed but here's a great reason to get excited since all three of these titles will have online battles and lobbies, something that people wanted back when VOOT was re-released on XBLA and PSN. I hope split-screen Versus is available too as that would sweeten the deal on this bundle even more.
If you want the true Twin Stick joystick feel of the arcades, Tanita's Twin Stick joysticks are set to ship sometime in 2020, hopefully by whenever the international release of this bundle will be available. I was only able to find this article detailing the finer details of this peripheral.
