WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "But you can’t separate the byproduct from the intention, and Advanced V.G. is unabashed in why it exists, which drags the whole thing down. If it was excellent fighting or a complete overhaul of the storyline, that might give it some modern clemency. If it was a Saturn game that gets mentioned constantly with the bemoaning wistfulness that it never saw Western shores, I could get that. It doesn’t have to be a game for everyone, but it should be a game that makes sense and elevates the genre in some sense, either through innovation or inspiration. Here, there’s neither, just some risque photos that are the toned down results of Law & Order: Anime Victims Unit. I don’t want to recommend this to anyone, and that’s saying something."
City Connection: "We would like to inform you that we have decided to postpone the release of the Xbox versions of "Steam Hearts Saturn Tribute" and "Advanced Variable Geo Saturn Tribute," which were scheduled for release on Thursday, May 29, 2025.
Due to the nature of this work being a revival of a work that contains provocative content, we have continued development with the aim of delivering a common gaming experience across multiple platforms."
