Final Fight Revenge is a 3D fighting game in the Final Fight series. It's based on Final Fight characters, similar to what Street Fighter EX was to Street Fighter. This game takes place in the universe of the original Final Fight, and to date, is the sole versus fighting entry in the series.
This game was created by Capcom of America (ironically however, it was never released in North America), and fans dispute its legitimacy as part of the Final Fight canon. Capcom of Japan has been unusually fuzzy, and lingering on announcing if this game is canon. They are normally very quick as to declaring what is actually part of the story and what is not. However, nothing within Final Fight Revenge conflicts too heavily with any other games in the series, or any other games with Final Fight characters (such as Street Fighter), for that matter.

[edit] Storyline
Final Fight Revenge seems to take place directly after the first Final Fight game. Mad Gear, wishing to reestablish itself as a force of menace in Metro City, is looking to rebuild itself. They kidnap Jessica Haggar once more, forcing out Mike Haggar and Cody (who disembark on separate rescue missions. Guy senses an evil presence and also goes out, looking for this entity. Strangely enough, Jessica's abduction is not resolved in any of the characters' endings, but it's assumed that she is eventually rescued by the events of Final Fight 2/Street Fighter Alpha 2.
[edit] Characters
Below is a listing of characters present in Final Fight Revenge, and what happens to them.
- Andore - Andore challenges Haggar to a wrestling match, with the latter's position as mayor placed as the stakes. The TV broadcast is never aired in Metro City, however, and Haggar never sees it.
- Belger - A non-playable boss character, Belger is, for reasons unknown, resurrected as a zombie. If the player completes the game without continuing, Belger will parody Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video through the credits.
- Cody - Cody learns of Jessica's kidnapping, but instead, is set up by Mad Gear member, and he is arrested by Edi. E for Poison's crimes.
- Damnd - Damnd tries to keep up with the spirit of fighting that he enjoyed, but becomes bored and retreats to the Caribbean, where he is spurned by a woman he flirts with.
- Edi. E - Edi. E has been promoted to sergeant, but wants to keep the promotions coming. He begins arresting Mad Gear members, and even arrests Cody, after Poison sets him up. Edi. then gets his promotion.
- El Gado - El Gado is a minion of Rolento's, but he has been secretly planning his death. Rolento apparently killed El Gado's family and friends during Guerilla warfare. El Gado is stopped by Rolento, however, and promised power in exchange for his life.
- Guy - Guy senses the arising of a familiar evil, which turns out to be Belger's reanimated corpse. After killing Belger once and for all, he feels that Belger's existence may have tainted his soul. He meditates and sojourns to attempt to flush out the corruption.
- Mike Haggar - In addition to trying to find his missing daughter, Haggar must deal with Rolento's threat against his beloved city.
- Poison - Mad Gear can no longer spring Poison from prison, so she decides to frame Cody for her crimes. However, as Cody is being taken off to jail, she laments the fact that Cody will only love Jessica.
- Rolento Schugerg - While Rolento is attempting to lay siege on Metro City, El Gado attempts to assassinate him. Rolento barters great power in exchange for his life.
- Sodom - Sodom attempts to rebuild Mad Gear, but fails. To recruit new members of Mad Gear, he retreats to Japan.
[edit] Trivia
- The Sega Saturn version of this game, released in Japan on March 30, 2000, was the second to last game ever released for that system. [1]
- A Sega Dreamcast port was in production, but ultimately was never completed.
- Capcom Studio 8 (Capcom's US game development team) went on to develop a second Final Fight game, Final Fight: Streetwise. This PlayStation 2 title was released in 2006, and like its predecessor, was not well received by critics.
