Remember that 1997 movie Face Off, where John Travolta and Nicholas Cage literally swap faces? It was done the year prior in DeathMask — an FMV adventure game converted to Japanese Saturns from the English PC original.

Read Peter Malek's thoughts on DeathMask, which got an English fan translation in 2021:

A summer 1997 release in Japan, Aorn’s Rabbit is a 2D versus fighting game similar in feel to the Street Fighter 2 series. The visuals are very colorful and the action zooms in and out as characters approach each other or pull back. Give Rabbit a try… It’s fun!
