[[caption-width-right:350:[[VideoGame/ArtOfFighting Older Ryo Sakazaki]] and [[HotBlooded Gai Tendo]] before we knew them in ''[[VideoGame/NeoGeoBattleColiseum NGBC]]'' and ''[[Franchise/TheKingOfFighters KOF XI]]'' respectively.]]
Buriki One is a FightingGame made by Creator/{{SNK}} in 1999 for its 3D arcade hardware ''[[SuperTitle64Advance Hyper Neo-Geo 64]]'' and the final one developed for this short-lived system. [[TournamentArc The main plot is about a tournament in Tokyo Dome]] where contestants of various combat sports and martial arts fight to determine [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter which fighting discipline is better]].

The game aims for a more realistic feel compared to other arcade fighters and features a unusual system in which buttons are used to move forward or backwards or pressing both to block, and the joystick is used to attack and grab the opponent. Taking cues from UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts, players must knock out their opponent, make them submit, or winning a 3-point judgment after the timer runs out. Fighters can be knocked out of the ring, but instead of ending the round, this resets them to their initial position when the fight begins. The game also lacks projectiles, favoring close combat instead.

The game is recognizable for its protagonist Gai Tendo, who appeared in other SNK artworks and games in [[TheCameo cameos]] as well as a BreakoutCharacter in ''Franchise/TheKingOfFighters'' series, where he and boss character Silber featured as bonus characters in ''The King Of Fighters XI''. Also, this game featured an older [[VideoGame/ArtOfFighting Ryo Sakazaki]] as the representative of UsefulNotes/{{Karate}} in this game, following ''[=AOF=]'' and ''[[VideoGame/FatalFury FF]]'' chronology as [[LegacyCharacter the new Mr. Karate]], being older than his previous appearances outside ''KOF'' and has appeared in other games, notably ''VideoGame/NeoGeoBattleColiseum''.

At the moment, actually playing the game is a [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes bit of a challenge]], as it received no home release and emulation of the Hyper Neo-Geo 64 hasn't reached a satisfactory level, this has affected other [=HNG64=]-based games like the ''[[VideoGame/SamuraiShodown Samurai Shodown 64]]'' series. There are clips of this game on Website/{{YouTube}}, but the only options at the moment for actually playing it are to buy the [=HNG64=] hardware and the game to play by your own or travel to Japan and hit up a local arcade.

Website/TheOtherWiki has an article about this game [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buriki_One here]], as does the [[http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/Buriki_One SNK Wiki]]. Also, Website/WaybackMachine has an archive of the official page on SNK's old site [[http://web.archive.org/web/20010609073329/http://www.neogeo.co.jp/buriki-one/buriki-one_index.htm here]].
