Fighting Bujutsu, known in Japan as Fighting Wu-Shu (FIGHTING武術 (ファイティングうーしゅ), lit. "Martial Fighting") is an August 1997 3D fighting arcade game developed and published by Konami. It is Konami's second attempt in the 3D fighting game market, after their 1996 Lightning Legend: Daigo no Daibouken, and was released only in arcades.

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".[1][2] It was shown again at that year's JAMMA show, by which time it was named Fighting Wu-Shu.[3]

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).[4]

Gameplay

Much like Sega's Virtua Fighter 3, Fighting Bujutsu utilizes a control scheme consisting of a control stick and three buttons: Punch, Kick, and Guard.[3]
