Virtua Striker 2 ver. 2000.1


 Developed with the Dreamcast port in mind, the game was created using the NAOMI board, and the graphics engine was based on Virtua NBA, creating a noticeable difference from previous versions. The number of teams increased to 35, and the player rosters were significantly updated. The stadiums were also redesigned to be more structurally realistic.

Continuing from the previous game, FC Sega appears again, with the same uniforms as before. For Brazil, Colombia, Romania, and Scotland (away), if they wear yellow, FC Sega wears the away kit. Notably, if the game progresses under 50 seconds, a member change occurs, and 2 players, including the goalkeeper, are substituted. However, if it is 21 seconds, instead of the team captain (number 11), the mascot appears.



The Yukichan summon command has been adjusted, so now only one press of the start button is needed. Additionally, if Yukichan is selected while holding the start button, the team switches to a special alien team called "Royal Genki." Moreover, from the 3rd match in the 1998 World Cup group stage, you can replicate the actual Romania national team shortcut with blonde Romanian players. To do this, press the start button in a GOLD country, and then select Romania.

The game was ported to Dreamcast as "Virtua Striker 2000.1," marking the first home console version. In this port, 5 countries that appeared only in version 2 are brought back, though they must be unlocked. The uniforms used in this version are from the 1996 season.

The 32 teams featured in this game correspond to the 32 countries that qualified for the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France.

Newly Added Teams:

  • Asia: Iran (IRAN)
  • Europe: Norway (NORWAY)
  • Africa: Morocco (MOROCCO), Tunisia (TUNISIA), Cameroon (CAMEROON)
  • Special: Royal Genki (ROYAL GENKI)
