A pathetic port of an arcade legend

When Capcom's Final Fight hit arcades in 1991, it was an instant hit. The game revolutionized the street fighting/adventure genres, and it was loved by nearly all gamers. Super Nintendo owners were especially happy when they heard the game would be coming onto that console! But was porting the game to a home system a good idea? Read on for my review of Final Fight Guy.
PROS:
-The graphics in this game are excellent, just about the best they could have done with sixteen bits at the time.
-The play control is very nice, and takes advantage of the Super Nintendo's excellent controller style.
CONS:
-YOU CAN'T PLAY AS CODY!? WTF!?
-NO TWO-PLAYER OPTION!? That's why the arcade game was so much fun!
-For some unknown reason, a number of female enemies have had their sprites altered so that they look like men.
-The blood has been edited out from the arcade version.
-The original Stage Four is MISSING! This is the stage where Rolento is the boss character.
OVERALL:
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! I can't believe how terrible a port this is. If you want the best port of the original Final Fight to date, get the one on Game Boy Advance (entitled Final Fight One). It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than THIS version.
Guy replaces Cody

After Final Fight made it's Super Nintendo debut in or around 1990, Nintendo said in one of it's players' guides that the Super NES version included everything that made the arcade title a winner. Well, that was a matter of opinion, as Guy, the two-player mode, and a stage from the arcade game were removed, possibly due to memory constraints. Roxy, Poison, and alcoholic beverages were also removed from the American version. This, in addition to descrete graphical problems, caused the SNES title to sink while the SEGA CD version was much better recieved.
Former pro-wrestler and newly elected mayor Mike Hagger recieves a threat from a gang called The Mad Gears when he refuses to be corrupted and take bribes (Like that would ever happen in real life!) in exchange for letting them run rampant: They kidnap his daughter, Jessica. What the Mad Gears don't know is that Hagger doesn't take kindly to threats, and Jessica's boyfriend, Cody, isn't too pleased either. In this version, Cody's away in Japan so Guy joins Hagger in the streets to fight the Mad Gears and get Jessica back safely.
This is essentially another version of Final Fight for the SNES. While there are a few improvements graphically, the only major difference is that you get to play as Guy instead of Cody.
It's funny how this story coincides with Jessie "The Body" Ventura's run and victory for governor of Minnesota. This story was written prior to Jesse's run.
