Mighty Final Fight 04-26-11 10:06 PM

Small dudes, big action.
When Final Fight hit the arcades in 1989 it became an instant classic, certainly not the first beat em up video game, but one that defined the genre. And today as that genre is all but near dead it still remains on the lips of beat em up enthusiasts when the subject of definitive games arises.

The immediate difference noticed in Mighty Final Fight to its original arcade counterpart is the portrayal of the characters. Gone are our large realistic heroes and villians, they have been reduced to almost child like comical proportions. This works surprisingly well on the NES.

Our familiar heroes are there as are the majority of the bad guys we knew in the arcade, just smaller, sillier and sporting heads in DK mode.
As for the gameplay, it's the Final Fight you knew and loved in the arcades. Controls are quick, smooth and responsive. The punches, flying kicks and tosses are all there. One button for attack the other for jump, together they unleash your character's special attack. Just like in the arcades. A no... Read the rest of this Review

Tails Sky Patrol

After many tries it just became too frustrating for me.
