1999 saw the release of a new game in the series: Final Fight Revenge. Developed by Capcom Studio 8 (an American team) but only released in Japanese arcades (on the SEGA ST-V hardware), the game wasn't a scrolling beat 'em up like the previous titles. Final Fight Revenge was the first, and so far only, one on one fighting game in the series. It features 10 playable characters, all of which were from the original Final Fight. For the first time, characters like Damnd, Poison and El Gado were playable.

The game flopped in arcades, mocked by the few who played it. The most obvious issue are the poor graphics, which looked extremely outdated for 1999. Character models look especially primitive, and the backgrounds aren't much better. The soundtrack does not suit the game at all, and the clunky gameplay simply could not hold a candle to games like Tekken 3 or the majority of fighting games out around the same time.

The only really good things about Final Fight Revenge are some of the super moves. Edi. E has one where he can run people down in his squad car, whilst Rolento has one where he uses a helicopter! And then there's the fact that the game's boss is none other than Belger -a zombie version of Belger! A zombie version of Belger who can have his head knocked off, pick it up and throw it at you! Amazing stuff, but probably not quite amazing enough to get people to play this. So far, this game's only console port is for the SEGA Saturn, which was exclusive to Japan, and now tends to sell for hundreds of dollars. Only the most hardcore Final Fight fan would want to play Final Fight Revenge.
