Wow
Going to get some drinks and watch this. Always down for DF Retro. Especially since it is about Final Fight.

Whenever I see a new DF Retro on a game I love I just...well I make this noise unintentionally.
Love this video series!

Holy shit those PS2/Xbox ports are horrendous!
Also, sounds like the next DF Retro is about the CD-i?

I think the joke is he'd rather let FF Richard die than actually do a CD-i episode lol
Great episode as always.
The SNES version also has some pretty terrible slowdown in the later stages that make it very frustrating to play.

Incredible work by John as usual.
DF Retro is a treasure (as is DF as whole).
I still remember seeing FF in an arcade for the first time and being impressed by the size of the sprites.

The intro is censored. Richard had a bra in the Japanese version of the intro!
Amazing video DF continues the great work. Some of the ports look fascinating didnt know the ports had additions like the Sega CD and GBA versions.
I'll co sign this. I watch every DF vid, even for games I don't like. Their analysis is fascinating regardless. This particular video was really in depth and I agree with John about the first game in the series being the best. The sprites and color palette are among my faves of the era.
Fuck yeah!
Same, Final Fight CD was one of the first Mega CD games I ever got.

I hope John, Richard and Alex team up with Jeremy Parish one day to give us a very special Digital Foundry Retro/Retronauts episode.
Only watched up to 1:24, but I gotta say, that intro was god-tier.
I love John, he's such a goof ball.
Cant wait to watch the rest.

Now now, there was already a DF Retro about the Streets of Rage series. 2 in fact if you count SoR4's own separate review.
I had no idea Final Fight got an Amstrad port. I was a sucker for awful arcade-to-Amstrad ports back in the day. So much disappointment.
To me, Final Fight CD is still the best version with that kicking arranged soundtrack. I had both the Mega and Sega CD versions. Still have the Mega CD one somewhere.
That was so good. Bought Audi's book (shameless plug worked) and the 5CD FF soundtrack as a result.
Hope you all get that burger one day!

Glad they gave a mention to the movie. I posted about it a few years ago, and no one cared it lol

Broken Gear (Final Fight Movie)
Has this been posted here? I just found it by accident, and so far it is definitely interesting. A realistic gritty look of Final Fight. I am 5 mins in, but judging from the comments, it is apparently very good. Send me with Poison if Old.

I never heard about that "7 sons" game, such a shame it looked better than Streetwise lol... Still the first is the best and its not even close, the mood, the music, the stage design, it really made it look like a long night of fighting leading to the next day when you enter the upper NYC . Its still my favorite beat em up in general, the pacing was just perfect
The Amiga version is probably most notable for the ridiculously long developer message tucked away on the disk, with a breakdown of the CPS hardware (remember this was way before you could just look that stuff up on the internet), some details of the conversion process, and random stuff like Thomas Dolby lyrics.
Enjoyed the episode and fired the game up on Switch through the Capcom Belt Action Collection and it kinda sucked. Played it for the first time and I think it doesn't play that great and the music was also underwhelming. Well, it's from 89 so it's understandable (and still impressive for the time it was released).
I played the japanese version, is there any difference in difficulty compared to the US version?
