Virtua Fighter 5 - North American version to only support 720p?
According to our in-hand boxed retail copy, there may be little Full HD mix-up or typo.
Virtua Fighter 5 is finally here! And by here, we mean North America. The game doesn't hit retail until February 20th, but we were lucky enough to already get our hands on a retail boxed copy.

And speaking of the box... While the Japanese version claimed Supported HD Resolutions of 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p, the North American version's box claims only 720p (see the photos below). Some owners of the already released Japanese version claimed the actual 1080p output didn't look quite right - looking upscaled rather than native. Since there is practically no chance the Japanese and North American versions of the game actually support different resolutions, we suspect there's a typo most likely in the JP version.

Either way, the game looks and plays fantastic. We hope to be back with some actual answers.
