Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition was a 3D polygonal fighting game that originally appeared on SNK's Hyper Neo*Geo 64 arcade hardware in early 1999 and was ported to the Sony PlayStation console later that year.

Though the game was rendered with 3D graphics, the gameplay was essentially an extension of the game mechanics of Real Bout Fatal Fury 2. Many of the Wild Ambition characters who also appeared in RB2 played very similarly, right down to their special attacks, chain combos, and the properties of their desperation moves.

The game's cast included several classic Fatal Fury characters such as Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, Mai Shiranui, Joe Higashi, Kim Kaphwan, Billy Kane, and Geese Howard, though it also featured new characters such as schoolgirl grappler Tsugumi Sendo and "judo demon" Toji Sakata (who had more than a passing resemblance to Fatal Fury 2 character Jubei Yamada). The game also marked the return of Fatal Fury 1 villain Raiden (who appeared, unmasked, as a playable character in Fatal Fury 2 as Big Bear).
