Good list but I would include "SVC Chaos: SNK vs Capcom." Maybe not as good as CVS 1 or 2 but still a great game.
Never released in the US though sadly.

@arcadekidflo

Your answers are very good friends, it's just that I found it necessary to modify the title since the list consists of games for the "Fighting" genre, my mistake although I specified it in the note but many can get carried away by the title.
Again I am sorry.
 
Updated list the following titles were added:

Code:
THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2000
THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2001
THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2002
THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2003
 
- Tekken 4
- Mortal Kombat (1) - If I remember correctly it is a extra disc for a Premium Version of Mortal Kombat Deception.
- The Rumble Fish
- Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution
 
Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 16: Virtua Fighter 2
Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 19: Fighting Vipers
Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 24: Last Bronx -Tokyo Bangaichi-

All these games are ports from Arcade that were also released in Sega Saturn.

I really appreciate your contribution friend, I think we make a good connection.
I ruled out Soul Calibur 3 since it first came out on PS2 and then on Arcade, which does not correspond to the title of this thread.
Also discard "Midway Arcade Treasures 2" because they are emulated games that do not correspond to the "Port" category.
Updated list.
