Final Fight was revolutionary at the time and is rightly revered as a classic of the belt action genre now.

The scrollers that came after were openly copying FF and not Double Dragon and/or Renegade, just like how the vast majority of one-on-one brawlers post-1991 were openly copying SFII and not Karate Champ from 1984.Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 31-05-2020, 14:39.

The Arcade and Mega CD versions were class back in the day. The poor SNES port was on the other hand... Was anything but

I agree with you about the SNES ports being poor though.
I loved Final Fight CD back in the day but in retrospect it wasn't actually a true 1:1 port (developed by Sega and not by Capcom) despite being the best way for many in the West to play a version of FF near enough to the coin-op.
