We have good news for Cyber Troopers fans!

On November 20, 2012, Sega announced that the PS2 exclusive game Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Marz will soon be available for the PS3 through the PlayStation 2 Archives service. The game is slated for release in the spring of 2013 and will be compatible with HORI’s Twinstick 3 arcade controller, which will be released soon.

Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Marz is a 3D action shooter originally released for the PS2 in 2003. In the game, players control large robots called Virtuaroids and engage in fast-paced battles in a virtual 3D realm. The game drew attention for its immersive Virtuaroid piloting system and sleek Mecha designs, and was highly praised by players.

Unlike many other arcade-style shooters, Virtual-On Marz was released as a family-oriented game. The game features multiple modes including the single player story mode “Dramatic Mode”, which broadens the world of Virtual-On with new VRs and arenas!
