>Fighters Megamix is great, it has more fighters & features than Fighting Vipers. The only thing Fighting Vipers has over Fighters Megamix is Pesiman as a secret character in the Japanese version of the game. Other than that, Fighters Megamix is a much better game & has more variety.

Fighters MegaMix is running on a modified Fighting Viper game engine, so it plays a lot more like Fighting Vipers than it does Virtua Fighter. You can ignore the VF characters and play it like a Fighting Vipers game, as the armor and wall mechanics are still there. But Fighters Megamix also ads the VF2 roster with a partial VF3 moveset for each character. The game uses the VF3 sidestep mechanic. All hidden characters are AM2 created characters. the character Siba was going to be part of the original VF1 cast, but was cut from the game. there are characters from VF Kids, Janet from Virtua Cop 2, who plays like Aoi from VF3, the Daytona car, Bean and Bark from Sonic the Fighters. Fighters MegaMix was made exclusively for the Saturn, so there are no arcade versions of it. Nor was it ported anywhere else. Fighters Megamix feels like the leftovers from a bunch of other cancelled AM2 Saturn games. They were developing Sonic the Fighters for the Saturn, but that was cancelled. They were also developing Virtua Fighter 3 for the Saturn, and had working ports. But that was pushed to the DC. As for Fighting Vipers, I kinda like this series over VF in some ways. It's worth checking out the arcade or Saturn ports. Also, there is a Fighting Vipers 2 arcade game that was ported to the Dreamcast as well. Though FV2 never came out in NA, only Europe and Japan regions.
