First shots: Virtua Cop Re-Birth

Sega of Japan has released the first screenshots from its upcoming remakes of Virtua Cop and Virtua Cop 2, which will be bundled together and released on the PlayStation 2 as Virtua Cop Re-Birth in Japan. In addition to the two arcade games, Re-Birth will also feature a target-shooting exercise for one or two players. An art gallery will also be included, and new artwork will be unlocked as players progress through the main game.

Virtua Cop Re-Birth is scheduled to be released in Japan on August 15. Sega of America has made no official announcement regarding a US release, but some domestic retailers are listing the game as coming out later this year.
