Virtua Fighter 10th Anniversary is a fighting game for the PlayStation 2, released around the same period of Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution. As the name suggests, it was designed to commemorate ten years since the release of Virtua Fighter.
10th Anniversary's release is not straightfoward - in Japan, some copies were bundled with Evolution, while others were offered as part of the Virtua Fighter 10th Anniversary: Memory of Decade package which contains both a book and DVD. In North America, the game was included on the same disc as the PlayStation 2 release of Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution, and in Europe it was offered as a promotional item in small supplies.
The game is a "demake" of Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution, with all the characters purposefully given low polygon models (similar to those seen in the original arcade release of Virtua Fighter) and a reduced moveset, primarily elimiating moves which cross into the third dimension. Also included are the trademark "floaty jumps" from the original Virtua Fighter, as well as flat stages with ring-outs. The soundtrack is also inspired by the original arcade game, although much of the presentation has been modernised.
