History

Development

During development, the game was known under the working title Axion. Following the attachment of the Yuu Yuu Hakusho license, some original design elements were saved for later use in Guardian Heroes on the Saturn, as well as 1996 PlayStation title Panzer Bandit by Fill in Cafe.

Legacy

M.I.J.E.T. fan translated the game to English in 2007.

Versions

Tectoy translated the game to Portuguese.

Yuu Yuu Hakusho: Makyou Toitsusen was the only game translated by Tec Toy directly from Japanese to Portuguese. Curiously, although the series was very popular in Brazil at the time, more than half of the characters' names suffered bad translation.
