Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution coming to PS2

Sega has revealed plans to bring Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution to the PlayStation 2 in Japan. Evolution, which makes some significant additions to Virtua Fighter 4, has already been out in arcades in Japan for several months. Not only does Evolution add two new characters--Muay Thai kickboxer Brad Burns and judo fighter Goh Hinogami--but it also refreshes Virtua Fighter 4's graphics, changes some of the moves for existing characters, and adds a mission mode.
