"Sega Saturn Magazine" gave "Virtua Fighter Remix" 5 out of 5 stars, saying that it fixed the glitches and graphics of the original game while maintaining the already excellent gameplay. "Electronic Gaming Monthly" scored "Remix" 29 out of 40 (average 7.25 out of 10). The reviewers praised all the game's improvements, but most of them concluded that it was still not worth buying for players who already owned the original game. "Maximum" likewise praised the quality of the game and its low price tag, but felt it was not worth buying with the release of the even better Saturn conversion of "Virtua Fighter 2" less than a month away. They scored it 4 out of 5 stars. The staff of "Next Generation" gave it five out of five stars, applauding the graphical improvements and glitch fixes. They commented: "Perhaps never in videogame history has a problem such as "Virtua Fighter" been so quickly and thoroughly corrected. "Virtua Fighter Remix" contains all the great gameplay of the original without any of the weak spots." Scary Larry of "GamePro" gave the game a highly positive review for its graphical enhancements and retention of all the excellent gameplay of the original Saturn version. "GamePro" also ran two reader-submitted reviews for the game; King Kane argued that the graphical and audio improvements make the game worth trying even for those who are not fans of "Virtua Fighter", while Tricky Ricky argued that though the game is an impressive upgrade, the lack of changes to the gameplay make its appeal quickly fade. "Famicom Tsūshin" scored "Virtua Fighter Remix" a 35 out of 40, and the Sega 32X version of the game a 30 out of 40. "Next Generation" reviewed the arcade version of the game, and stated that "The drawback of all Titan games, including "Remix", is that the technology isn't as advanced, fast, or powerful as Model 2B [...] and these games are really like playing fast Saturn games in the arcade."
