Versions

Tectoy translated the game to Portuguese.

Yuu Yuu Hakusho: Makyou Toitsusen was the only game translated by Tectoy directly from Japanese to Portuguese. Curiously, although the series was very popular in Brazil at the time, more than 50% of the characters' names suffered bad translation.
