The Hyper Neo Geo 64 was conceived to usher SNK into the 3D era as well as to provide the hardware basis for a home system that would replace their aging Neo Geo AES, one that SNK hoped would be capable of competing with the Sega Saturn, Sony PlayStation, Atari Jaguar and Nintendo 64. By 1999, the system was dead, with only seven games released in total and only one, Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition was ported to another system: the PlayStation, with severely hampered graphics that failed to do justice to the arcade original.
