Final Fight Revenge is a 1999 3D head-to-head fighting game based on the original Final Fight released for the arcades. A Sega Saturn port was released in Japan on March 30, 2000, where it was the second-to-last game officially released for the platform. [1]. The game was developed by the same American team that later produced Maximo and Final Fight: Streetwise. While previous fighting games by Capcom such as Saturday Night Slam Masters and the Street Fighter Alpha series featured Final Fight characters, Final Fight Revenge is the first and only competitive fighting game comprised solely of Final Fight characters (although, it should be noted that the original Final Fight itself was originally planned as a Street Fighter spinoff).
The plot of Final Fight Revenge takes place between the original Final Fight and Street Fighter Alpha 3. The Mad Gear gang, wishing to reestablish themselves as a force of menace in Metro City, is looking to rebuild itself.

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.

- 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 retreats to solitude 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.
