Vixen 357 is a turn-based mech game that was released in 1992 for the Sega Genesis in Japan, but it is now set to arrive on Steam with English text and a couple of new features. For more than 30 years, players could only play Vixen 357 by getting the Japanese Sega Genesis cartridge and running it on the original hardware or an emulator, or by using unofficial English mods and hacks. But that is about to change in 2026.
Publisher Shinyuden is poised to make the classic Sega Genesis game more accessible to gamers outside Japan. Before the Steam port, Shinyuden translated the entire Vixen 357 narrative and dialogue into multiple languages, including English. It then re-released physical Sega Genesis cartridges along with some other thematic goodies. Now, it wants to bring that same classic experience to modern gaming PCs, so even more retro strategy game fans can enjoy it.
The Sega Genesis is set to receive a brand-new physical release in 2026 that might be a bit costly but is surely something many fans will appreciate.
Vixen 357's Steam port includes everything from the original Japan-exclusive release, along with new official English support. On top...
