Carl Williams writes, "Final Fight is one of those series that had so much going for it but for some reason, failed when the transition of gaming went from 16-Bit to 32-Bit (both the Double Dragon and Streets of Rage series felt this mishap also). Originally, Final Fight was to be a sequel to, the fairly popular, Street Fighter game that hit two years prior but eventually, Final Fight was given its own style (thanks to the success of Double Dragon in arcades). When Nintendo launched the Super Nintendo it was a very much ballyhooed fact that Capcom was bringing Final Fight to the new Nintendo console as an exclusive (no mention of other platforms was made so exclusivity was easy to garner from the likes of Electronic Gaming Monthly and Gamepro)."
Final Fight, the classic arcade side scrolling beat 'em up is on it's way to the Megadrive/Genesis. The demo version is out now. Find out more here.

Yes, it is much harder to start a retro collection in 2022 than it was in 2017, but it’s still possible! You’ll see there are still quite a few SNES games that are fun and affordable.
I really enjoyed Commando as a kid and it’s not listed . I bet it’s cheap maybe? Beat all 99 levels just to find out you start all over again .
Any retro console is still worth buying in 2022 whether a Genesis, NES, SMS, TG16. Some systems command a higher price then others but a SNES is still reasonably priced and worth grabbing you can mod the NA SNES to play Japanese games throw in an Everdrive and you're set. I feel sorry for some of the consoles I see on Ebay that have holes in them, yellowed to death, modified with shitty mods that barely work. The SNES might need a little work great way to learn if yellowed just use peroxide and UV light and it will turn white again. If you have a hobby of repairing older consoles that are listed as untested broken for parts some of the repairs are basic you can save money that way when buying a retro console. I just bought a $20 NES listed as broken on Ebay disable the lock out chip and new 72pin connector and it works.
