## Gameplay

Much like Sega's Virtua Fighter 2, Fighting Bujutsu utilizes a control scheme consisting of a control stick and three buttons: Punch, Kick, and Guard.[1] A Beginner Mode maps combo techniques to individual buttons.[2]

## Development and release

Fighting Bujutsu was unveiled as one of the first games powered by the Konami Cobra System Hardware (the other being Racing Jam) in a 10-minute videotape shown at the 1997 ASI arcade show. At this point it had no working title, and was referred to only by the codename "PF 573".[3][4] It was shown again at that year's JAMMA show, by which time it was named Fighting Wu-Shu.[5][1][6] According to Next Generation, there was "some question of how (or if) to present [Fighting Wu-Shu] to the U.S. market."[7] The game made its U.S. debut, now under the title Fighting Bujutsu, at the AMOA Expo in Atlanta in October 1997.[8] It first appeared in the UK at the January 1998 Amusement Trades Exhibition International in London.[9][10]

On January 21, 1998, an official soundtrack of Fighting Bujutsu's background music was published by Konami and distributed by King Records exclusively in Japan as Fighting Wu-Shu Original Game Soundtrack (FIGHTING武術 オリジナル・ゲーム・サントラ).[11]

## Reception

In Japan, Game Machine listed Fighting Bujutsu on their November 15, 1997 issue as being the eighth most-successful dedicated arcade game of the month.[12]
