At the 4Gamer booth on the final day of Tokyo Game Show 2026, Yuichi Nakamura and Mafia Kajita hosted a "Washagana TV Business Trip Edition" stage for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, joined by SNK producer Shinya Tamaki and director Hayato Chikaya. The event ran September 20, 2026. Nakamura, who voices Cain, picked his own character in training mode and ran combos using Smart Style, which lets players perform moves with simple inputs. The developers described an arcade mode continuing the previous game's story plus episodes covering its ending and the characters' daily lives. During a look at Salvatore Ganacci, the team said he arranges techniques learned from Terry, and that a crouching attack reproduces movements from a music video. Near the end, SNK announced the Nintendo Switch 2 digital version is scheduled for October 22, 2026, with the packaged version on January 21, 2027. Manjiro Sano and Ken Ryuguji from the Tokyo Revengers TV anime will join in Season Pass 3. Nakamura called basic combos easy and said the game is extremely easy to play.
Nakamura picked Cain, the character he voices, in training mode and set Cristiano Ronaldo as the opponent. He mashed buttons under Smart Style, the control scheme that performs moves with simple inputs, and chained a special move into a super special move while the developers walked him through the steps.
The story mode talk went past arcade mode. The team described episodes covering the story connected to the previous game's ending and the daily lives of the cast. Smart Style drew a direct reaction from Kajita, who said, "I'm grateful for it as someone who's bad at combos like me."
Salvatore Ganacci drew the most curiosity. The developers said he arranges techniques he learned from Terry, a claim the hosts disputed on sight because his movements look nothing like Terry's. Ganacci also has a move that returns a powerful flick, and his crouching attack reproduces movements from a music video. The team said many of his moves have source material and invited players to look for them.
The hosts also tried Ken and Chun-Li from Street Fighter 6, which led to talk about character design. The team said they argued over Chun-Li's leg muscle mass, whether it was too thick for a Fatal Fury character, and made repeated efforts to keep the original work's identity while fitting it into this game.
