Lost In Translation/Virtua Fighter Kids

About The Game
Virtua Fighter Kids is a 3-D, one-on-one fighting arcade video game based on the Sega Saturn conversion of "Virtua Fighter 2". The differences are mostly art-related : Virtua Fighter Kids' character cast are now drawn in a super-deformed style.

Trivia
Released in March 1996.

Each character has a range of facial expressions not evident in "Virtua Fighter 2".

The game features some product placement : when Jacky wins a bout, he drinks from a can labelled 'Java Tea' - a famous Japanese brand name.
