Overview
Description

Final Fight is a classic side-scrolling beat-'em-up produced by Capcom, set in the fictional Metro City. Players control one of three distinct heroesโ€”Cody, Guy, or Mike Haggarโ€”as they brawl their way through six intense stages to defeat the notorious Mad Gear gang and rescue Jessica. Featuring cooperative multiplayer action, players can execute combo attacks, grab and throw enemies, wield pick-up weapons, and unleash screen-clearing special moves at the cost of health. Each round culminates in a challenging boss battle, offering an authentic arcade brawler experience.

Final Fight 2 is a classic beat 'em up sequel released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Following years of peace in Metro City, the notorious Mad Gear Gang has reemerged, kidnapping Guy's master Genryusai and his daughter Rena to exact revenge on Mayor Haggar. Mayor Haggar must team up with new fighters Maki and Carlos to travel around the world and rescue the captives. Players can experience intense cooperative combat, unleashing powerful combo attacks and special moves to dismantle the criminal syndicate once and for all.
