It’s incredible that Capcom made an obscure Final Fight game on the NES,and it came after Final Fight came on the SNES. The gameplay and graphics looks awesome.

Masahiro Sakurai once stated that Kirby was released for the NES instead of SNES because his studio was already primed for NES development and the team already had a lot of know-how for the console at the time. They had a deadline to get another game out so they didn't want to have to setup SNES dev tools and lose out on time for learning SNES dev stuff. He also mentioned that because a lot of NES gamers were already mature by that time (and new gamers would likely buy SNES instead) that Kirby was designed to have more elements for advanced gamers to take advantage of while still being relatively newbie-friendly. I would imagine Mighty Final Fight might also have a few treats for advanced players.

Not incredible at all, it still happens to this day. PS4 games are still coming out, and the time frame between the PS5 coming out to now and the SNES coming out to this game coming out aren't any different. It probably only took them so long as it was a pain trying to work out how to make it not suck on such poor hardware. At this point the 16-bit machines, whilst fully established, more people still would have owned 8-bit systems, games ales were tailing off, but not enough for devs to withdraw support. Heck, they released game on PS2, a system released in 1999, in 2013.

This is one of the few ultra rare NES carts I own. Found it used at WalMart when they were still selling used NES stuff around 1999-2000 for $15. I had known from the internet, even back then, that Mighty Final Fight was a super rare cart, so I snagged it. It's still in my collection!

My Dad found a copy at a thirft shop and randomly bought it for us on a whim in 2001 or 2002. He knows jack about gaming, so we lucked out that he bought it. We only had a NES growing up so we usually went to flea markets and thrift shops back then getting NES games for $5 or so. So I have a good sized collection. The MFF cartridge is missing part of the front sticker (came like that) but I still have it.

something you didn't note that I thought might be worth mentioning: Cody would eventually regain his Tornado Sweep projectile in Street Fighter 5 when his moveset was dramatically redesigned from past SFs. i had no idea until now that this game is where that came from

This one was a huge hit in Brazil. All gaming magazines raved about it in late 1993.

I think you forgot to mention the coolest part of the level up system. Basically, finishing the enemies with harder attacks gives you more exp. So, a jump kick only gives 1, but if you do it with the 3rd hit of the knee bash grab, you get 6. Moreover, if you grab a health item with full health, you actually get a big chunk of exp instead. Really cool system that I wish more games had used.

for those planning to check the game out, the tornado sweep move can ironically be performed by capcom's infamous hadouken motion before attacking and the tornado kick rising attack can be done with the shoryuken motion. never figured out how to properly pull off the lariat from hagar though... lol

Your final fight story pretty much is a reflection of mine. The first two games we got for the Super Nintendo were super Mario world and final fight. I remember seeing it in a skating rink and I fell in love with it. So when it came to the Super Nintendo, I was all over it. It still ranks as one of my top beat em ups of all time and I'm very glad to have played the arcade version as well as on it. And yes, I didn't care that characters were missing and it was only one player; I loved my Super Nintendo version of final fight Having said that, I've never played mighty final fight because I stopped playing my Nintendo due to it being damaged. Maybe I ought to change that one day

What a great freaking game. It was at #1 on my NES want list several years back when one showed up at a local reseller for $80. Couldn't pass it up, so I took the plunge and have not regretted it for a moment.

I loved this game as a kid. I still only had an NES when this came out. It was incredible. Thanks for reminding me of it.

My dude I just gotta say, I've been following your channel for a while now and you are by far the best video-game channel out there. Your texts are perfect, and your delivery too. Congrats man!

I grabbed this from the eShop just in time, apparently! Thanks for the review and the reassurance that I made a wise decision.

I vividly remember renting this and loving it. Definitely felt like I'd discovered a hidden gem. This and Kirby's Adventure were the highlights of summer '93.

Cody : Tornado Sweep ( B + forward ) Tornado Upper ( hold B + forward + up ) Guy : Tornado Kick ( B + forward ) Tornado Flash Kick ( B + forward + hold up ) Flying Kick ( jump + back + up + B ) * Flying Kick can be performed at Lv. 1 * Flying Kick must be performed precisely when Guy lands Haggar : Running Clothesline ( B + forward ) Jumping Piledriver ( hold an enemy + jump + B ) * Haggar's ending shows a Running Clothesline + Mallet move. As far as I know, this move can't be performed by players

One of our favorite NES games! We did a couple videos on it last year. Great as always SNES drunk!

I recently played through this on GBA; it was great. I liked Guy and Poison being in it I did wish there were a save/level select option, but I eventually beat it with Haggar

This is my favorite nes game!! Glad you covered it!!!

I remember this game, I rented it when it came out. I haven't thought of it in forever, thanks for reminding me of it.

Dude, my older brother ALSO insisted this was the greatest thing ever. I remember going to the local Flea Market to pick this up in the early 90s along with Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo because "You can play as blue Blanka!" haha

Stan Hansen! That reference alone makes me love this video. I love Puroresu so damn much.

Hell yes! I loved this game. My friends and I would joke that it was better than SNES FF cause it had all characters and stages. Plus the RPG elements! It was cool Capcom included it in their Mini-Mix collection for the GBA.

I remember seeing ads for this game in comic books but I already moved on to Genesis at that point. Played it years later on an emulator and it's great.

You know its gonna be a good day when you hear a "Stan Hansen" reference within an hour of waking up. Thanks SnesDrunk!!

Interesting. Cody's special move would later be known as Criminal Upper in Street Fighter Alpha 3.

Awesome review man!

I had this and I remember it fondly

I never gave this game a second look back in the day. It came out really late during the NES era when I had already moved onto the 16-bit consoles and, at the time, I didn't care for the chibi style. I do enjoy beat-em-ups, so probably will give this one a play now. It's too bad this one isn't 2-player, though.

I felt the same way about "Double Dragon" for the NES as you did about "Final Fight" for the SNES. I didn't care that it was single-player only. The game was so amazing to me. I loved the arcade version, obviously, but to have my very own version at home was unmatchable. That reminds me, I used to play the arcade version at New Hope Bowl in New Hope, MN as a kid. Being a Minnesotan, you may be familiar with it, or at least the city of New Hope.

I had a Gamepro subscription in 1993/94. When I started collecting old SNES games in 2001 I felt that subscription gave me an advantage in that the magazine had reviewed games that most people were not familiar with so I had a bit of intel on what obscure games were good. Some of the more valuable titles in my collection, Ninja Warriors being an example, were purchased when they were cheap because I had read a good review in Gamepro back in the day. Mighty Final Fight was one of those games I had read the review on and when I started collecting for the NES (which was years later but still when most games were affordable) it was always on my radar but I never found it in the wild until after the price exploded. Even then I've only seen it once outside an expo. Now watching this video it looks even cooler than it did in the magazine screenshots and I'm all the more annoyed I couldn't find it before the rest of the world caught on to its existence and raised the price up.

I remember punisher in the arcade. Me and my cousin religiously played that whenever we could in the arcade

This game was my first experience with a brawler game. Love it!

Man, i LOVE this channel

Fantastic Stan Hansen reference, just fantastic.

Man, I forget sometimes that Sodom's name was Katana on the NES/SNES Final Fight games. I had Capcom Classics Mini Mix on GBA, which is a compilation cart of NES Strider, Mighty Final Fight, and Bionic Commando (which is what I bought it for). probably not the best way to experience Mighty Final Fight, but I had fun with it there!

In 93 I was playing SF2 & also had forgotten my Nes by then. Totally missed this game. Discovered 2 years ago. Is crazy good 👍

One of the few games I had on floppy along with Nesticle, back before I had Internet at home.

SNES Drunk merch should include the tag-line, "play any way you can." I always get tingles.

I discovered this game well after the fact, as I was working and well in to importing for my 16bit consoles by the time it was released. I was completely blown away by it, and was so surprised it flew under my radar for as long as it did. To be honest, I play this version more in current times, than I revisit the SNES version, as it's doing more with less. If and when I want my 16bit fix, I play the Sega CD color corrected version, as that's the best version from that gen hands down.

Starting with a new SNES Drunk in the morning, this bodes well for the rest of my day

Great review. And I just love the voice and style of the presenter.

This is one of those late in the lifespan games that made the SNES so legendary. You look at some of the chunky, blocky graphics of some early games, and then look at something like Mario 3 or this. It looks like an 8 bit cartoon instead of just a game. Simply wonderful.

How weird, I played this game last night for the first time in my life (thanks to emulation), I haven't thought about this game since I was a kid when I read about it in a nintendo magazine... then your video pops up on my feed. 👍 I played it for half hour, I enjoyed it. Worthy of the name 👌

Fantastic game and review as usual. Another way to play is (As with a lot of games) is considering the Famicom version if you have a pin adaptor - you can get a cart only famicom version for like £30-40 which is around $35-45 (was painful looking up that exchange rate). Obviously not the most practical solution with NES games unless you already have a pin adaptor (or have a Famicom), but it definitely firmly falls into that category of games like the Mega Man X series of 'prohibitively bonkers prices in US-NTSC / PAL regions but totally reasonable in JP-NTSC and you don't need to read Japanese to play them'

Seems like a fun NES beat'em up. The chibi style is either love it or hate lol. Really enjoyed the look into a small NES game!

4:20 I love it when people basically just tell you to pirate the game because game preservation is a community-driven effort.

Back in the day I rented this game. It was a very good game for the NES, but at the same time it made me realize the limitations of the system. Like having max 2 enemies on the screen at a time, or all the flickering you mentioned. My neighbour had an SNES and we play on it a lot, so there was no denying it.

this genuinely looks amazing and the music sounds great! NEVER heard of this one even though I was a massive final fight and NES fan!~!

Straight from the heart. Nice episode once again!

And don’t forget those sweet Capcom NES tunes. The first song combined with the punching sounds will be in your head for days.

Awesome video as oer usual.

Love your channel buddy

A few years ago I got my aunt a "Retro-Bit Go Retro! Portable". She only every plays Tetris on it, but Mighty Final Fight and a bunch of other games were on it too. (It was about the same price as a any of the stand-alone Tetris devices at the time.)

Soon as I heard “unfortunately, this is one of those NES cartridges…” I already knew it was gonna end with “you’ll have to play this any way you can”.

The music in this game is fantastic.

This looks like lots of fun, the artwork reminds me of Mighty Gunvolt Burst too (Gal Gunvolt Burst on PSN).

I remember being interested in this when I saw it in EGM because I liked Final Fight, and wondered why they'd go back and do a NES version. Now that I know it's good I'll have to give it a shot! I have a lot of nostalgia for Final Fight, but these days I think I prefer Maximum Carnage or Return of Double Dragon (play that one "any way you can" since it's the JP version of Super Double Dragon, and significantly better) but either way, SNES beat em ups are one of the genres I think have aged really well.

Capcom should release a Final Fight Collection that includes Final Fight Arcadem,Snes,Sega CD,Final Fight 2 and 3,Mighty Final Fight etc.... this franchise really deserves its own collection

I ordered the famicom version of this one - a great tip for anyone looking for "authentic" games that don't want to break the bank, since it's really easy to get the NES to run Famicom games. I went this route for a lot of NES games where reading was unimportant and I think my copy of Mighty Final Fight JP cost about 40 dollars shipped a few years back.

Now I have to check this version out.

Cody's tornado sweep projectile in SF5 actually comes from this game.

Has that "capcom NES sound" to it as well.

I use to rent this game alot when I was little. I bought a digital copy on Wii U.

This game is also on the mini console "Super Retrocade" by Retrobit. IT also has Final Fight(arcade), FF2 (snes) and FF3 (snes) + more than 90 games.

I had a knockoff one in a 4 in 1 alongside TMNT Tournament Fighters, "Mario Jurassic Park" and Chip n' Dale 2. On my Knockoff Famicom. It was awesome.

played a lot when i was younger...great game

I love Cody's 8-bit hadouken!

This one is mad fire! I love river city ransom! And now they add some Final Fight thats awesome!

This is the song they used at the menu for the "all in one" console I bought

I'm looking forward to Mega Final Fight for the Sega Genesis.

Kudos for the Stan Hansen reference...I got to meet him once...it was a funny story, he kinda dissed me hahahahaaaa...
