Garou Densetsu 3 was released on March 27, 1995 (Monday) in Japan.
The title of this game translates from Japanese as 'Legend of Hungry Wolf 3 - The Distant Battle'.
Garou Densetsu 3 overtly refers to itself by its overseas name of 'Fatal Fury 3' throughout the game.
This game is known outside Japan as 'Fatal Fury 3 - Road to the Final Victory'.
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.
Hon Fu's goofy martial artist routine & easygoing personality make him SNK's hilarious homage to Jackie Chan. Definitely not a Bruce Lee clone! :)
Kyo Kusanagi & Sie Kensou make a cameo in Pao Pao Cafe!
Pony Canyon released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Garou Densetsu 3 - PCCB-00179) on April 21, 1995.
