Fatal Fury 3 - Road to the Final Victory/Garou Densetsu 3 - Haruka-naru Tatakai was produced by SNK in 1995. During a trip to Southtown to attend the inauguration of a new branch of Pao Pao Cafe by former street fighter Richard Meyer, the lone wolves (Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi & Mai Shiranui) are unwillingly caught in the middle of a desperate search for the Shiranui Scrolls and the mysterious fighters that are after them! The game features a new graphic style, 2 different background planes to fight, a grade system that shows how well you perform in battle, lots of hidden moves & combos, as well as multiple endings based on your performance. The answers shall only be uncovered by a long & fierce battle, are you up to it?

The last game of this early series. Terry, Andy, Joe, Mai and Geese return to South Town as they are joined by five new characters and three bosses. It has been two years since the second King Of Fighters tournament took place. Now Terry, Andy, Joe, Mai and Geese are back in South Town along with five new characters and three bosses. All of them have their own reasons of coming to South Town, but in the end, everything links to a scroll that reveals the secret to the lost ancient martial arts.

The main game play is just like Fatal Fury 2 except that instead of two planes there are three. You choose from one of ten main characters. New characters include Blue Mary (a blonde female secret agent), Bob Wilson (a Capoeira expert), Hon Fu (an Asian detective who bears a resemblance to Kim from Fatal Fury 2), Franco Bash (another boxer) and Mochizuki Sokaku (a sort of sorcerer). In a one-player game, you travel to South Town defeating other opponents while searching for an insane mob boss called Yamazaki Ryuji. There are also two hidden characters, Jin Cho Rei and Jin Cho Shu.

Things that changed in this particular game:

- The game introduces a deeper plane change system which proved to be somewhat clunky & difficult to use due to the tricky commands used to move between planes.

- Chain combos are introduced to add even more depth to each character's fighting style.

- Throws are harder to use since these are slow and throw-miss animations were added.

- Newcomers in the game are Bob Wilson, Blue Mary, Franco Bash, Hon Fu, Sokaku Mochizuki, Ryuji Yamazaki, Jin Chonshu & Jin Chonrei.
