Not only it was released to [[SoOkayItsAverage mediocre reviews]] (and overwhelmingly negative fan reception) in Japan, its poor sales removed any plans of porting ''VI'' to other platforms [[WhatCouldHaveBeen (an arcade port was considered)]] and Sega aborting its plans to revive and reboot its ShootEmUp franchises.
