The second of three of SEGA’s Model 2 arcade beat-‘em-ups released in the 90’s that have recently found a home on modern console digital distribution services, Fighting Vipers is perhaps one of SEGA’s least popular intellectual properties (IP). Not in terms of fandom, but in that of wider acknowledgement, as while the videogame has a strong cult following it pales in comparison to the recently released Virtua Fighter 2 when it comes to mainstream awareness. That however, is more of a strength than a weakness, as it allows Fighting Vipers to be a much less traditional beat-‘em-up affair.
Carlos writes "So, by now many of you know how things work. Each time a backwards compatible game releases on Xbox One we take a look to see if they are worth returning to once more. Given the busy week Xbox has had with backwards compatible arrivals, we're here once more to take you through our thoughts on each of the new Xbox One BC games in order to see if these titles are worth delving back into once more, or if they are better off left on the shelf... or your install list, whichever you prefer."
I don't know keeps on making these articles but every game that you can bring over to your new system is worth the return. I hope in the future no game is Left Behind a purchase is a purchase and everybody enjoys different things
I don't see anything wrong with an article about somebodys opinion about which old game to play that can now be played ?
These backwards compatible games have been by far and large the stuff you would normally just pass by in the trash bin or the discount bin at your local game store.
I would personally forgo trying to snatch up triple A titles which seem to be out of MS grasp and focus on getting a strong lineup of excellent Double A (or B grade games). LIke Spaletter house, Never Dead and Lollipop Chainsaw.
I was excited when I heard about this initiative, Now I've mostly forgotten it and to turn on my Xbox.
Love love love Arkham origins such an underrated game. The boss battles are on point and the detective mode is excellent. It did have bugs when first released but I didn't get them on my play through and I had it day 1.

Sega has slashed the price of Virtua Fighter 2, Fighting Vipers and Sonic the Fighters on Xbox Live Arcade.
Sega releasing it all wrong, virtua fighter, sonic fighters and fighting vipers and fighters megamix (the last bronx as well) could 've been sold as a fighter pack to bring the appeal.
Nights into dreams is a real saturn classic and there are more that beg to be released...they have some dim wits working at that company. Sony is making a ton of cash re-releasing their psone classics..take a page in their book.
I want Sega to hurry up and release Fighters Megamix on the PSN :)
