Virtua Fighter 3[b] is the sequel to 1994's Virtua Fighter 2 and the third fighting game in the Virtua Fighter series, developed and published by Sega in 1996. It was the first arcade game to run on the Sega Model 3 system board.
Like its predecessors, Virtua Fighter 3 was a major hit in arcades, selling 30,000 arcade cabinets worldwide. In Japan, it was the fourth highest-grossing arcade game of 1996 and the overall highest-grossing arcade game of 1997. A port for the Sega Saturn was announced but ultimately cancelled. However, the game eventually reached home consoles in the form of a conversion for the Dreamcast.
