The game is well presented with some catchy music, sometimes quite rocking or jazzy, other times quite mysterious. The short time spent there speeds up fights as you avoid getting into situations where fighters move back and forth trying to get on the same plane to continue brawling. Basic punches and kicks can be thrown from the other planes, but moving there is now primarily for avoiding attacks.

Where previously you could stay there until you chose to move (or were knocked) back, here you will automatically return to the middle lane after a moment. As an indication of how well you’re playing each successful round now grades your performance based on time taken and points scored.įor this game, button combinations (helpfully mapped to Switch’s Z buttons) are used to move between planes. There’s then potentially three additional fights against new boss characters Yamazaki (who you also fight in a single round earlier in the game) and siblings Chonsu and Chonrei – the latter requiring you to have played well during your playthrough. Newcomers include the popular Blue Mary, kickboxer Franco Bash and nunchaku-swinging detective Hon Fu.Īfter choosing your character you can pick your starting opponent (from a selection of four), with fights afterward proceeding in a set order, ending with a showdown against Geese. Series constants Terry, Andy and Joe return along with Mai and the always up-to-no-good Geese Howard. Compared to previous instalment Fatal Fury Special there’s been a reduction in playable characters with just 10 fighters available. Fatal Fury 3: Road To The Final Victory again provides the typical best of three rounds fighting action as you beat up a variety of people en route to an ending. Nintendo Switch is not short of one-on-one fighting games, but here’s another ACA Neo Geo release anyway.
