Virtua Fighter 3 is the third game in the Virtua Fighter series. Two new Japanese characters were added to the roster of fighters: Aoi Umenokouji, a beautiful Japanese woman and a childhood friend of Akira Yuki who used nimble forms of Aikido and Judo as her fighting styles of choice, and Taka-Arashi, a Sumo wrestler from Japan. This would be the only game in the series in which Taka Arashi would appear; the series' current producer, Hiroshi Kataoka later explained it was due to the technical implications of having a substantially larger character.

Sega had made several announcements that a port of the title would appear on the Sega Saturn. However, lagging sales and the coming launch of the more powerful Dreamcast effectively halted such a plan. It can be assumed that had the game been released, it would have had significantly reduced graphics to accommodate the Saturn's weaker hardware. Other rumors suggest that the Saturn version might have had to accommodate a 3DFX-powered upgrade card, in order to enable an 'enhanced' port of the game to run that would not have been possible on stock Saturn hardware.

It was the first arcade game to run on the Sega Model 3 system board. Released in 1996, video game magazines at the time described it as having the best video game graphics up until then, comparing its real-time graphics to pre-rendered CGI of that era. Sega had made several announcements that a port of the title would appear on the Sega Saturn.
