Extra Credits
Virtua Fighter 3: Team Battle is influenced by all of the previous Virtua Fighter games (Virtua Fighter, Virtua Fighter 2, and Virtua Fighter Kids) and Fighters Megamix, a Saturn game that includes Virtua Fighter characters.
Although the title contains the words "Team Battle," this is not a new feature to the fighting genre. It has been used in many fighting games previous to this title.
