Now this needs an explanation.

Well, the SNES version had sharper visuals in some ways, beyond that, there's nothing it really does better, or even as well, as the arcade. Plus, the cover art, oh lord what an abonimation that is.

The problem with Final Fight One was that instead of porting the game from the actual CPS version, Capcom decided to port the SNES version (more specifically, the Guy version) and throw back all the missing elements from the coin-op. The game's graphics are clearly based on the SNES version. Also, The added characters are nothing more than Guy and Cody using their Street Fighter Alpha sprites, which is really lame.

It's not really that bad, unless you're really anal about it, but Double Dragon Advance is alot better as both, a GBA remake of an Arcade Classic and as a stand-alone game by itself, in my not-so-biased opinion. ;)

best handheld version? nope. you can play emulated coin-op arcade on a variety of handhelds including the Game Park 32 (GP32).

best Nintendo version? okay it is that.

What's wrong with it? It looks/plays pretty good to me.

*EDIT* Nevermind, Johnny answered me.

Agreed.

I've seen this X6800 comparison come up before, and what I really don't get is why anyone would care. If I want to play the real Final Fight, I'll just load up the ARCADE VERSION in MAME. :D

The loss of detail is about right for cramming a 384-wide resolution game into 320- keeping the original character sprites would've made them look stretched out horizontally. As for FF X68000 having only 4 enemies on screen at a time, I wonder if you'd see more at higher difficulty settings.

I'll rate Alien vs. Predator and Punisher the same in my book. The Genesis version of Punisher should've been better considering how FFCD was- I just think Sculptured Software (Capcom's contractor) got sloppy with the conversion.

Konami's Aliens doesn't really compare to AvP, but it's still good.

yeah and a Camero is better than a Ferarri

Explaination:

Final Fight, the arcade version, is one of the worst offenders of flat out coin-sucking I have ever played, easily equaling beat 'em up favorites the TMNT arcade games. I don't even need to offer more of an explaination for this other than that fire level halfway through, but add the fact that single player has numerous 8 on 1 situations, as well as a lot of boss cheapery. A shame too, because underneath this fact you have unbelievebly solid game mechaniqes that don't feel like the game is fucking you over (unlike the TMNT games).

Now lets look at the SNES version: hardware limitations keep you from facing more than 4 (often 2 or 3) enemies at once, and the fire level isn't even in the game. Hence more of a "fair" game, and certainly more of an enjoyable one. I never even bother playing the arcade version when I am in the mood for a Final Fight fix because it is a pain in the ass to play - I am pretty good at the SNES version, but the arcade one just frustrated me when I played it.

(also some numbers may be off, I forget details of both games, I haven't played in a while)

So you prefer the version that's missing levels, a playable character, is riddled with flicker and slowdown, and has been censored?
