SNK released the Switch 2 version of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves on October 22 at 2,970 yen, the same day Tokyo Revengers characters Mikey and Draken joined the roster.

Why it matters
SNK is keeping the roster open rather than shipping a fixed set of fighters, and the team says it still has plenty of candidates left, including entirely new characters, which makes the crossover slots a scheduling question as much as a licensing one.
In an interview at SNK headquarters, director Hayato Chikaya said the port runs at 60fps with the same character count as the PS5 and PC versions and plays almost identically, with amiibo support added. The team said monthly character additions will continue as long as possible.
The Switch 2 version was built with help from outside the studio: programmers from HexaDrive assisted SNK on the port. It ships with Mai's classic costume, which took real work. Art director Tetsuya Yamamoto said the current Mai design wears heels, so reusing the old outfit left her feet floating, and the team adjusted her stride to resolve it.
