DF Retro: Final Fight - The Definitive Retrospective
- Thread starter SiG
- Start date
Another problem with the SNES port is that although it lacks an entire stage, it still takes much longer to beat than the arcade original.
Since only three enemies can appear at a time, encounters will drag on forever.
I think Capcom realized how much of an issue this was. Final Fight 2 & 3, despite suffering from the same three-enemy limitation, have far better pacing than the FF1 port.

That was amazing. This is coming from someone who never thought the final fight series was any good.
The intro was amazing. We need haggar is so games!

The original Final Fight's music cannot be praised enough. I wish the Alph Lyla and Sega CD arrangements were more widely available.
This was a great retrospective. FF3 is a much smoother experience as a single player game. It's a classic, I don't care what anyone says.
Final Fight 1989 remained my GOAT brawler until Streets of Rage 4.
Yes! DF Retro is the best thing on YouTube! This'll be the perfect thing to watch while I'm bored at work tomorrow.
I'm glad I can play a perfect arcade version on my MiSTer now, which I believe is what was used to capture the arcade version footage of this video!
Definitively comprehensive indeed. I was like, "Hold on, they're going to neglect mentioning Maki, Hugo, Poison, Abigail and Lucia's appearances in CvS2 and Street Fighter?" -- but then I saw they get the mention toward the very end. Same goes for word of the Final Fight port featured on the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle.
watched this yesterday and wondered how they missed Freddie Mercury being the most obvious influence for Haggar's design
Just watched the whole thing. Loved it. I played so much Final Fight CD as a kid. Video made me want to watch Hard Times and Streets of Fire again.
I would pay SERIOUS money for a proper Final Fight collection. One that included everything, Arcade, Snes 1-3, Saturday night Slam masters, One, Revenge, Streetwise, etc
Also a Streets of Rage 4 style sequel. would love it see it.

DF Retro could be my favourite Youtube series right now. Always an informative and well produced nostalgia bomb.
really? certain games in the genre have aged like wine. Final Fight being one of them.
Final-ly got around to watching this, great video. I consider myself a fan of the series, but I agree with their assessments. Somehow nothing ever really topped the first game, which is weird considering how old and archaic it is in some ways. Somehow it still holds up really well though. The sequels aren't bad by any means, but just never manage to carry the formula unambiguously forward.
By the way, Double Impact is currently on sale on xbox for $1.99 https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/...dd?cid=majornelson&DownloadType=Game#LiveZone
It's a great version of the game, and it comes with the much-overlooked Magic Sword, which is a fantastic game as well.
Also FYI, you can still download the Double Impact soundtrack on Capcom's community site here: https://www.capcom-unity.com/dubindoh/blog/2014/05/05/monday-raffle-final-fight-double-impact-ost
Unfortunately most of the tracks are cut short, I'm guessing it's exactly what they put on the casettes they sent out. Side note, I really want to track down that press kit!.

It would be glorious.
Discovering DF Retro and My Life in Gaming really helped pass the time during lockdown.
