That's a lot of fucking money.

Does anyone have links to screenshots of this game or anything about it? The KLOV doesn't have much info on it, and I am curious as to what kind of game it is.

Of course it doesn't go for that much, that seller is just crazy. FFR goes anywhere from 80-130 I've seen.

It's kinda like SF EX. It's a fighter. I like it a lot more than other people did. It's fun.

Here's my mini-review on it:

FINAL FIGHT REVENGE

The final Saturn game, released March 3rd, 2000, is a 3D fighter from Capcom. This is one of those "triple figures" Saturn games.

I remember when I first got into Saturn I always wanted FFR but everyone was quick to warn me "OH NO IT IS THE PITS!"

I even recall an EGM preview of FFR saying "For anyone with any memories whatsoever on the old Sega Saturn, for the love of God turn the page quick!"

Well, I got to finally see the game for myself, and to draw conclusions for myself. What I found.... a playable, even enjoyable brawler... but definitely nowhere near Capcom's A-list. FFR has 2 strengths of punches and kicks, taunts, and your typical power charge bars. (finish off foes with a super special and the screen flashes orange)

FFR is the closest thing to SF EX you'll find on Saturn. You got fireballs, and like Fighters Megamix there's a button that side-steps your character to avoid projectiles. FFR brings together 10 Final Fight characters and I'll break them down below.

Oh yes, during fights there are weapons littered around you can pick up and use; even toss them at your opponent once you're finished with them. Also food can be found (gee I wonder what that would do..) It's pretty cool. Among the weapons include a freezer gun, a chainsaw (!), gun, rifle, shotgun, machinegun, bomb, flame gun, etc.

CODY
This is old school-looking Cody! Not that SF Alpha 3 jailsuit crap. Surprisingly he does not have a projectile! His hadoken motion brings forth a burning fist type attack, but unlike Terry Bogard's Burning Knuckle, it's slow and has limited range. His Dragon Punch command (with kick) produces a Flash Kick.

GUY
He has a projectile! (I wish he had one in the Alpha games)
One of his super specials is called "SHINOBI"

HAGGAR
Hey, this is the only place to control Haggar on your Saturn. And for that reason alone, hey how bad could FFR really be ya know? Haggar is like Zangief. 360 degree spinning piledriver, a spinning clothesline attack, etc. But... big as Haggar is... he ain't the biggest in the game...

ANDORE
Yep. This is a monster all right. I like using him, he's quite fun. One super special he jumps and pounds the ground creating a shockwave and barrels that magically fall outta the sky. Great attack to use immediately after knocking down your foe if you're in range... it's automatic attack! Has a long chain attack, and of course he finds use for his big belly.

POISON
The only girl (though that is questionable if you followed FF's history) in FFR -- she has a fireball and Dragon Punch. Her two SS moves are really cool. One works like Ken's Vacuum Dragon Punch and the other she blows a heart-shaped kiss. If you touch it, the screen goes through a series of vintage shots of Poison. If you beat a foe using this, Poison will have a dance pole in her victory.

EL GADO
This sneaky bastard looks great because he is very slim and different-looking from the rest. He has knife projectiles that work in the vain of Sagat (one high one low) and oh, his SS move is worthy of note. He lunges and snaps your bones in several places. After each snap the screen flashes and you see bones cracking. If you win with this SS move, at the end EL GADO does some taunt as the screen flashes once more. Really quite cool.

DAMND
I always liked him back in the day. I still like him, after having played him in FFR. He's a charge character with Blanka roll attacks. Think of him like DUCK KING on steroids. He laughs and in general is a big goof ball. But don't take him lightly as he's even bigger than Haggar. His SS move is cool as he whistles and if you touch it, the screen flashes as Damnd's friends and minions take you out (one quick flash shows Andore)

SODOM
1st off, it's funny when you win with Sodom cuz the announcer says "SADAM WINS!" At any rate, this is just like the Alpha Sodom, cept in 3D. I love his 360 kick move where you grabs you and pushes your back against the ground causing a fire effect. If there is mines on the ground while he does this move -- the victim actually takes extra damage!

EDI E.
Fires gun in Sagat esque way. One of his SS moves has him calling upon his police car and you actually get to control it (in a 3D environment -- the car is exaggerately huge) and if you win via this move, EDI E. goes to handcuff you.

ROLENTO
His SS moves are the best. One is that "yank em up and down" move while the other you get to control a helicopter! If you win with the latter, the helicopter shoots down the foe. Hey it's the little things.

Sadly, FFR does lack a lot of "the little things" such an intro, extra modes (only VS and arcade), etc. The music's forgettable and the sound's only decent at best.

But overall I dig it.

Oh yeah, the end boss is Belger the zombie. He has stretch limbs and his stage is cool. A lot of the game's stages are pretty neat, ranging from wastelands to courtyards, etc. The backgrounds look good in hi-res but the polygon count on the fighters are too low. Imagine if it looked like DOA or VF2 and with better music -- FFR could have been a serious contender, so to speak.

Still, what can I say -- I like it.
7.5/10

I have it as well. Got it back around when it came out for $50 or so.
Not that great of a game. I like the idea of a Final Fight 1 on 1 fighting game more then I actually like the game itself.
7.5/10 is a very generous review.

I like the design of that cover. It's a game I've always wanted to try, but even if I were willing to pay that much for it (no way in hell), I don't have a Saturn now anyway.

Unfortunately, this game complete on carton box, ram cart, cd, cd case, baggies,
and all is now selling for $200, sometimes close to $300 on Yahoo JP. Maybe one
of the reasons this seller wants so much.

tha ram version is VERY rare, the normal version was limited to 5,000 copies or less and of course a smaller number of those were the boxed ram versions.

i used to have the game, bought it from NCS for retail on release (normal version) sold it a few years ago for 75 bucks mint, VERY boring once the novelty of seeing FF chars in 3D wears off, basically no combo system, just a straight forward 3D fighter, think last bronx or fighting vipers, just not as good. I use to Use Cody and Eddie E., Eddie has a super where he gets in his cop car and runs you over, pretty cool.

the animation on the 3D is great thanks to the ram, the 3D on the chars is also pretty high res, backgrounds are bitmaps though.

in all honesty this game makes street fighter ex look like 3rd strike.

played it in Japanese arcades, a bit of a let down, but the fact the characters are from the original final fight makes this superb.

I spam all Final Fight related threads.
one love.
