Another remake, or to be more precise a sequal I have in mind is Fighting Vipers 3.

The game story centers around the third Fighting Vipers tournament hoasted by BM for Japans indie-fighters who wear custom armour. What is unknown is that Mahler, a drug baron who manufactures Kobra, wants to win the tournament in order to distribute and sell Kobra and take political power in doing so. (It's either the third or the series can start again.)

Kobra is a military drug made from mixing Kollistrone (some chemical I made up with the words "collision" and "testostrone") with snake venom that is introduced directly into the bloodstream, normally with a double-needle syringe (the needle marks appearing like a snake bite). Kobra is a fast reacting drug that boost strength, agility and perception for a steady period of time. In short can make anyone regardless of body into a pro-fighter. Over use of Kobra can break the body down. It's not an addictive drug other than the users desire or will over it's benefits, thus withdrawal is still possible to those who desire physical power.

A few of the fighters in the game are known kobra users (Raxel, Jane and Tokio comes to mind) while the others are fighting for the prize or own reasons. As the fighters participate in the tournament, they find out about Kobra and it's users and what is going on about it. The story is partially inspired by the movie Enter the Dragon which is about a fighting tournament covering up criminal activities.

The game itself can mostly be recycled and modded from latest Virtua Fighters game, but the whole apperance of it to pass off it was made in the 80s-90s, as if it is played on a VCR. Inspired from Kung Fury which itself was inspired by 80s kung fu movies, I can magine the camera filters for the game appear as if was playing in a 90s VCR and the story using retro lingo.
