With its classic AM2 fighting games coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade and the Playstation Network, SEGA has released a launch trailer showcasing Fighting Vipers, Sonic the Fighters and Virtua Fighter 2 and how well they hold up even today.

To remind you what they were about, SEGA also released these official descriptions:

Fighting Vipers: Fight with flair in the return of Fighting Vipers, the classic arcade game from AM2 that was later playable on the Sega Saturn. Choose one of nine zany characters--including Grace the roller blader and Raxel the metal guitarist-- and break your opponent's costume-based armor to maximize damage. Take advantage of all-new online modes to battle friends across the world.

Sonic the Fighters: Join Sonic and friends in battle in this classic arcade game from AM2. Originally on consoles as part of the Sonic Gems collection, Sonic the Fighters is back with an all-new online mode, including both online versus and tournament play. In single player mode, choose from 10 playable characters and fight through 8 stages to stop Dr. Robotnik and Metal Sonic from unleashing the Death Egg II!

Virtua Fighter 2: Experience the legendary polygon-based 3-D graphics and fluid fighting mechanics that made the game so influential in the arcades, and later on the SEGA Saturn. With all-new online play, you can battle friends throughout the world.

The games are all available for a few bucks and have online modes to boot. Check out the trailer below and stay tuned to DualShockers.com for more news.
