![]() Guy, one of the main protagonists, joined the fight along with the boss character Sodom. This would be the first step in the franchise crossover, as it would feature two playable Final Fight characters. Speaking of Street Fighter, shortly after the release of Final Fight 2, Street Fighter Alpha arrived. Either way, despite Poison and Roxy being replaced, Poison has become a popular mainstay in the Street Fighter series, appearing as playable in Street Fighter X Tekken, Ultra Street Fighter IV, and Street Fighter V. The subject has been known to be ambiguous in some situations, but that’s a story for another day. In fact, Poison herself has been subject to a lot of controversy regarding her sex, as Poison is in most cases considered to be a trans female. Damnd and Sodom were given new names and Poison and Roxy were replaced with male henchmen. A lot of Final Fight’s content was subject to censorship, going as far as to rename or replace characters. While the series was seeing a lot of success during this time, it did come with some complications. Unfortunately, it did suffer a graphical quality drop and even less responsive controls. The original game even got a Sega CD port with Final Fight CD, adding voice acting, higher quality music, and a time attack mode. This is of course, after the first game got a port, and even an alternate version with Final Fight Guy. Interestingly enough, it started in the arcade, but quickly continued on home consoles with Final Fight 2 and Final Fight 3. The Final Fight series has several games, some more successful than others. The original adventure of Cody, Guy and Haggar going against the Mad Gear Gang is a tale that many know, and we think it’s time to Bring it Back! Final Fight also shares the same universe with the popular Street Fighter franchise, even sharing multiple characters. It’s also provided quite a legacy, which has in turn brought forth lots of homages, tributes, and of course, memes. Originally releasing in arcades in 1989, this series has given birth to deeper combos in beat ’em up combat. Our first franchise to feature for Bring it Back is none other than Capcom’s Final Fight series!įinal Fight is an incredibly iconic franchise in the beat ’em up genre, rivaling series like Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, and more. We encourage open discussion in the comments here, reminiscing on these games and hopefully showing the IP owners that we want to bring them back. ![]() This can mean ports, remakes, or even sequels anything that puts historic franchises back on the map. While we don’t expect them all to come back, the goal here is to put a spotlight on IPs that deserve another chance at life. Welcome to our first entry in our brand new feature series, Bring it Back! This weekly series will focus on games from the past, many we know of, and many that have fallen into obscurity. ![]()
