The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Final Fight is a bona fide classic, no doubt. Capcom’s brought it home several time, and each port has been…lacking in certain areas. Both Genesis and SNES fans enjoyed versions during the 16-bit era, and Sega-16 has played both extensively to see how they compare. Have a gander at the latest installment of Side by Side for the results.
I remember when the SNES version of Final Fight hit the streets. It sold like hot cakes and though it had been eagerly anticipated, many were returned the same day. No Guy? No two player mode? Levels missing and names changed? Flicker and slowdown all over the place? Many of my friends swore a Sicilian curse at Capcom that day and were bitter over it for a long time. Never having an arcade version near me for comparison, for a long time I couldn’t see what all the controversy was about, until I played the Sega CD version.
