Based on the URL I think it's to do with Segata Sanshiro. I think the text might say 6 more days, so I guess keep an eye on the link.

I had heard that they were planning a bunch of stuff for 2020. But a lot of those plans must have been thrown out the window because of COVID-19.

VF6 for Sega's 60th anniversary was something I thought that they would do this year. It makes a ton of sense.

Pivoting to the burgeoning soap industry:

A dumb Google Translate version of the page description:

Sega 60th anniversary ambassador silhouette pre-release! 3/25 Information lifted.

The 6 is a countdown timer, and with a URL of "segashiro" this is drastically more likely to be some sort of Segata Sanshiro revival for a new marketing push than anything else.

VF6 on a new arcade board developed with the help of military contractors that make PS5 and XSX look like a Voodoo 2 in 2020.

Let a man dream.

You can't have Arc System implement rollback netcode AND a new Virtual Fighters in the same year.

Thats like having two birthday wishes, it's illegal.

Someone changed the thread title, but it does seem to be getting the thread more views. I think my title was, "Whats Sega doing for their 60th anniversary?" Never a bad thing to let Sega know people want VF, though. This Tweet seems fairly popular:

Hmm if that's not VF6 then it's one hell of a nasty tease.
I'm going with that being a young Akira and we're looking at a prequel of sorts. Half the VF cast would be dead by now, so they had to go back!

Dear Sega, I'll pay $5,000 for the Virtua Fighter IP for use in perpetuity to develop video games on consoles, computers, arcade machines and mobile devices. You can have free rights to use the IP for gaming and Pachinko machines. I feel that amount is adequate compensation for the value of the franchise in its current state. PM me.
