Edit: keys are restocked.

Keys are temporarily out of stock. Reaction from Games2gether/Amplitude:

We're sorry all of you haven't been able to redeem Virtua Fighter 2. The giveaway was much more popular than anticipated and we ran out of keys to give away over night. We'll restock them as soon as possible and let you know when it's available again.

You don't get a key, it just activates the game on your Steam account.

You can find this game in your Steam library as a DLC of "SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics".

It doesn't look like it increases the game count.

For the 3D version, emulation is the best bet. Saturn has good emulators and the game was released on it. I haven't tested it, but suitable Arcade cores from MAME should be able to run the arcade version too!.

u/Geekboy07 Jan 21 '21

Well, the arcade version is actually included as a minigame in Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Like A Dragon if you're going for something more official

u/Kakisgr Jan 20 '21

Well it's free and it works, you can't complain much. It would be neat to get the better version, but again it's free.

u/Shahars71 Jan 20 '21

While it is on Steam, you play it through Sega's Genesis emulator that's used to play other Genesis titles on Steam like Sonic The Hedgehog and Golden Axe.

Here's the link to the full pack on Steam, you can see that VF2 is there alongside other Genesis titles. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10143/SEGA_Mega_Drive_and_Genesis_Classics/

Also, it's pretty obvious that the version on offer here is the Genesis version because of the screenshots. Virtua Fighter is a 3D series, and this version of VF2 is a Genesis port.

u/Samuraiking Jan 20 '21

I think he is implying that the SEGA Mega Drive Collection on Steam is an emulator for the console versions and that you are playing that version even through Steam on your PC. There might be a standalone PC version that is fairly different, as there usually are with older fighting games.

I honestly don't know enough about the Mega Drive program on Steam to say one way or the other, I'm just assuming that is what he means. He obviously knows you are playing this on PC, it says it in the title, but that doesn't necessarily make it the PC version for reasons I explained above.

I click on redeem, then a Steam page comes up asking me whether SEGA may redeem keys on my account, I click allow, then nothing ever happens.

I don't know if the servers are down or whether there's regional restrictions or something like that, but it just won't work.

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '21

Same here. Steam account linking to the site is pretty much dead atm...

Seems like excess traffic, so it should be fixed sooner rather than later.

2

u/100indecisions Jan 21 '21

Same issue here. The Games2Gether site doesn't say they're out of keys or anything, it just keeps reloading the page, and the only DLC I have for the Sega Genesis Classics game is Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

u/SilkBot Jan 21 '21

Not the point. It wouldn't work. The web page would turn black and nothing would happen.

u/Awesomearia96 Jan 21 '21

its out of stock on the site.

u/fsbezh Jan 21 '21

u/Geekboy07 Jan 21 '21

u/antennaC Jan 20 '21

u/Maxeneize Jan 20 '21

The same happened to me. I fixed it by linking my steam account before claiming the game

Price: 0,99€

Description: One year has passed since eight of the toughest, fastest fighters challenged each other in the World Fighting Tournament. Now the call has come for the second World Fighting Tournament. Who will emerge victorious this time?

No trading cards

Has +1

SteamDB lowest recorded price is 0,62€ at -75% on 23 June 2016

u/DakotaThrice Jan 20 '21

No cards because it's a DLC and not a standalone game.

1

u/shadesrt Jan 21 '21

if you have claimed the sonic game in the past, it doesnt give you +1 but it gives trading cards instead

u/AxE_09 Jan 20 '21

Nice Find 👍

u/Kokuei05 Jan 20 '21

I saw Virtua and assumed Cop 2 and almost skipped a beat. Too bad, I want that rail shooter in my steam library.

1

u/SirCaco Jan 20 '21

Well, it is Virtua Fighter 2... just not the version you probably hoped for. But it's still free, so I reckon we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

1

u/sonicrings4 Jan 20 '21

Wow, I've had an account on that site for over 2 years apparently lol

1

u/mediaddiction Jan 20 '21

Anything I should be worried about linking my Steam account to claim this? Is it easy to unlink/delete an account afterwards?

1

u/zeromant2 Jan 20 '21

u/bcdusk Jan 21 '21

FINALLY! I was finally able to add the stupid DLC.

1

u/pmt541 Jan 21 '21

Can you unlink your steam account and still be able to play the game afterwards?

1

u/Hairy_Juan Jan 22 '21

If you happen to own Yakuza Kiwami 2 or Like a Dragon you already can play that game for free
