In a recent interview with Famitsu, Tetsu Kayama, COO of Sega talked a little bit about the possibility of bringing Virtua Fighter to the GameCube. Heres the quote:

"I think it is nonsense to directly port Virtua Fighter to the GameCube. For example, we can make it Virtua Fighter Kids to curtail to the lower age demographic. The game system and fun factor should not be changed so that these players can then move on to the next step with the actual Virtua Fighter."

Nice to see that major players like Sega are really helping eliminate those "kiddie" stereotypes. While it's certainly not bad news, hearing Sega say something like that is almost painful. Keep it here for more.

Thats not very encouraging of Sega, like XL has said.
