| − | '''Fighters Megamix''' is a 1997 fighting game developed by [[AM2]] and published by [[Sega]] exclusively for the [[Sega Saturn]]. It combines several characters from various Sega games, from the complete cast of ''Virtua Fighter 2'' and ''Fighting Vipers'' to Janet from ''Virtua Cop 2'' and the Hornet car from ''Daytona USA'', while allowing to play the bosses]of both games without cheat codes. It still remains as one of the best Saturn games, and one of the best in the genre during the [[32-bit era]].

| − | Highly advertised, it followed ''Virtua Fighter 2'' as a high-profile 3D fighting game for the Sega Saturn. Intended as an introduction to ''Virtua Fighter 3'' (which was never released on the Saturn), ''Fighters Megamix'' introduced the concept originally used by ''King of Fighters'', mixing characters and styles from different games - not only the open ended rings from VF are present (but now, with no ring-out), but also the close cages from ''Fighting Vipers''. VF characters have new moves taken from VF3, but the most impressive feature was the ''dodge'' move, which allowed the character to sidestep, avoiding a dangerous blow and opening at the same time room for a counter. Sega capitalized on this, calling ''Fighters Megamix'' the first "real 3D" fighting game in the market.
