Ports and Compilations
All three games were released for the MVS Arcade System, Neo Geo Home System, and Neo Geo CD with the first one being included on SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1.
- Art of Fighting for the TurboGrafx-CD (Arcade Card, Japan only), Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and SNES
- Ryuuko no Ken 2 for the Super Famicom (Japan only)
- Art of Fighting Anthology (龍虎の拳 ～天・地・人～, Ryuuko no Ken Tenchijin?) for the PlayStation 2 includes: Art of Fighting, Art of Fighting 2, Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior
- Art of Fighting and Art of Fighting 2 for Wii Virtual Console
The SNES version of the first game features an extended ending which ties to the sequel Art of Fighting 2, rather than ending the game on a cliffhanger like the original Neo Geo version does. Additionally, the English localisation of the port was censored. Many of the locations had their names changed (Mac's Bar was changed to Mac's Cafe), the No Smoking sign in Todo's stage was removed and the player can no longer expose King's bra without the use of a special or super move. The vehicle driving scenes have been omitted.
The Neo Geo version of Art of Fighting was released for the Wii Virtual Console on October 2007 and Art of Fighting 2 was released on July 2008.
The PlayStation 2 version of Art of Fighting stays true to the original Neo Geo cartridge. However, the vocals in the opening title have been stripped, as have Ryo's vocals.
The Mega Drive/Genesis version lacks the zooming effect. The gameplay has been changed as well, the Ryuuko Ranbu is blockable, Jack's drop kick only goes 2/3 of the screen, and Lee's claw spin has invincibility during the starting pose.

Famous quotes containing the words ports and and/or ports:
“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
