Yu Suzuki, the brain behind the popular Sega The Virtua Fighter title is set to launch the game’s characters as NFTs, much to the delight of its fans. In a recent announcement, Sukuzi notes that he will be partnering with OASYXan NFT protocol, to create 1,000 Virtua Fighter digital collectibles that will be based on 11 Virtua Fighter characters from the game’s first three titles.
According to OASYX, these non-fungible tokens will serve as the basis for future Metaverse avatars in the game. Leading the way will be Suzuki, who was responsible for developing the popular fighting game of the 1990s.
Despite leaving his position as head of Sega in 2009, Suzuki has maintained a close working relationship with the company to which he devoted most of his time and creative genius. So, following increasing insistence from fans that Sega release NFTs for some of its popular titles, it seemed only right to let the former director take the lead.
