Height: 5’10”Īfter completing a martial arts training trip, Guy returns to Metro City only to find himself caught up in a riot. Bye bye Carlos and Maki from Final Fight 2. Some fans are split on the look but I always dug it. Guy returns! As does good old standby, Mike Haggar, complete with a brand new ponytail. As such, Final Fight 3 will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember playing it with moving boxes all around the living room, cleaning up the streets of Metro City one last time alongside my older brother. In fact, it was just the weekend before we moved. It was, in many ways, the wonder years.Īnd Final Fight 3, of the hundreds and hundreds of SNES games I rented from 1991-1996, proved to be the final (har har) Super Nintendo game I ever rented while living in my childhood home. The place that meant so much to me and was more than a town, more than a suburb. The place where I carved out countless memories with my parents, brother, uncle and friends for 10 years. A beacon of light in the darkness for the remaining loyal SNES fans who stuck by the system’s side even in its dying days.įinal Fight 3 is something of a special game to me in many ways. Still, I remember feeling like Final Fight 3 and Mega Man X³ was something of a last bastion of hope. We clung on to our Super Nintendo during its twilight years, although we certainly didn’t play it as much as we had done during the system’s peak. My brother and I hadn’t ‘upgraded’ to the PlayStation or Sega Saturn yet. Mega Man X³ looked like a welcomed addition to the series and it was just nice to see the Big C still supporting the Super Nintendo. Final Fight 2 was a sore disappointment and I had pretty decent hopes that they might get it right with Final Fight 3. Capcom was back at it milking more sequels than Friday the 13th. I remember seeing previews for Final Fight 3 and Mega Man X³ in the back pages of GameFan in late 1995. Let’s head back to Metro City one final time… Capcom definitely redeemed themselves for the disappointment that was Final Fight 2. It featured branching paths, special moves, SUPER special moves and even a 2-player mode where the second player can be controlled by the computer if you didn’t have a buddy nearby. Capcom cranked up the voltage as Final Fight 3 clocked in at an impressive 24 MEGS, making it the largest beat ‘em up on the SNES in terms of megabits. This time however, instead of being a revolutionary console on the upswing, the SNES was a grizzled vet practically on its last leg. Final Fight 3 came out five whopping years later, landing in Japan on December 22, 1995. It came out exactly one month after the Super Famicom launched in Japan. The original Final Fight was ported over to the Super Famicom on December 21, 1990. Pub & Dev: Capcom | January 1996 | 24 MEGS
