SEGA just sent over an e-mail to let us know that their Virtua Fighter 5 will be available to PlayStation 3 owners on Feb. 20. There's not a whole lot of other news here, but if you're one of the few who've stuck with the series over the years, surely you're a happy boy or girl. Here's the company line:

Virtua Fighter 5 will deliver fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping action as players head into battle, taking on a host of popular characters. The game will introduce two new dynamic characters, El Blaze and Eileen, complete with new fighting techniques and from completely different backgrounds. Play as one of the 17 default characters in the game or customize a character. Players will be able to modify their characters by selecting from four base costumes and then decorate them by attaching a wide range of unlockable and earnable items. Players will not only achieve victory by defeating highly-skilled opponents, but also by competing for prizes and earning in-game money allowing them to buy many items at an in-game shop.  Further building upon the depth of the series, players will now be able to move around their opponent using an “Offensive Move” technique, adding a new strategic element to their battles.

For European fans, this title has been confirmed as a Europe PS3 launch title.
