Sega has announced that the PlayStation 3 version of Virtua Fighter 5 has shipped out to retailers across North America giving PlayStation 3 owners a real reason to get excited as this is by far one of the highest quality games to be released on the console since its launch back in November.

Virtua Fighter 5 has already topped sales charts in and placed the PlayStation 3 back in the running by pushing consoles out the doors of retailers and into consumers’ homes.

Critics have already stated Virtua Fighter 5 to be amazing games as Electronic Gaming Monthly gave it scores of 10, 9.5, and 9.5.  Other publications have given it similar scores praising it to be the best 3D fighting game ever created hands down.

Two new characters are going to be in Virtua Fighter 5 including a Mexican wrestling champion El Blaze and Eileen who uses a Monkey Kung Fu style.
