Review Final Fight 3 (New 3DS / SNES)
Metro City rampage
It was a mistake to come back to Metro City, Guy realised. With the Mad Gear gang defeated he'd hoped for a pleasant day where he could catch up with people, but instead he finds himself in a tricky situation. Stood in the Mayor's office, he's trying desperately not to comment on Haggar's ridiculous ponytail. He can't take it any...
Review Final Fight 3 (Wii U eShop / SNES)
Third time lucky?
Following the enjoyable-but-flawed SNES conversion of the original Final Fight and its disappointing sequel, Final Fight 3 can be viewed as Capcom's attempt to atone for its previous sins and give fans a domestic exclusive worthy of the name. Released relatively late in the lifespan of Nintendo 16-bit's console, this third entry is...
Review Final Fight 3 (Wii Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
Is the third time the charm?
Final Fight 3 came along fairly late in the Super Nintendo's lifespan, but that certainly didn't bother fans of the series who were looking for one more heavy dose of beat-'em-up action. Capcom decided it was time to spice up the gameplay some and the end result was something that would appeal to classic fans of the...

Poll Box Art Brawl: Duel #76 - Final Fight 3
'Final' my foot!
Welcome once again to Box Art Brawl, our contest to find out which retro gaming cover is best from two or more global variants of the same game. Last time we enjoyed the silence of Resident Evil: Deadly Silence on the fifteenth anniversary of the DS port. Japan took just over one third of the vote — and Europe grabbed almost a...
Video Take To The Streets With This Complete History Of Final Fight
Oh! My car
Before Street Fighter II arrived on the scene, Final Fight was the best option for arcade-going brawl fans. Capcom's seminal coin-op smash took the template laid down by classics like Double Dragon and Renegade and introduced bigger sprites, a more intuitive control scheme and - perhaps most importantly - a moustached wrestling mayor...

Nintendo Download 5th February 2010 (Europe)
Two anticipated titles finally arrive.
The Virtual Console seems to be in full swing in Europe again, after a rather lackluster period - We got Street Fighter Alpha 2 last week, and we're getting Sonic & Knuckles the next. The space inbetween isn't empty either, because Capcom has chosen to release two games in a row. Meanwhile, on WiiWare,...

A quiet start to the new year.
Nintendo of America seems to have spent the last few weeks compensating for all those two- and three-game release weeks in the rest of the year recently, but for the first update of the New Year we're back to only a handful, some of which have already been released in Europe and Japan -- hopefully not a sign of a...

About The Game
Following the defeat and subsequent disappearance of the Mad Gear Gang, a small group known only as Skull Cross is responsible for a new uprising of vandalism, terrorism and death. The government of Metro City is at a complete loss.
Metro City's mayor, Mike Haggar, and Guy prepare to take on the new gang with Cody's old friend, Lucia, when suddenly a mystery man named Dean with a special grudge against Skull Cross shows up to join the action.
The streets are dangerous! Take on any member of Skull Cross that stands between you and your goal. Remember to grab some food to revitalise your strength, or you may find yourself face down in those dangerous streets!

Really? I hope this gets released soon. I've only ever played the ROM version so I'll download it immediately. The European also has a cheats menu that no other version has.

This will easily be one of the best purchases on VC, not just because it's a fantastic game, but also because it's also one of the rarest SNES games - Just a cartridge can go for a ton on eBay.
By the way the two above me are talking, this is better than that crapfest that is Final Fight 2.
OH YES!! I love this game so much i remember playing it when i was a kid.I always use Dean and Mayor Haggar they are my two favourite characters in the game.I cant wait to get this.
Ooooo, I know what beat'em up we're receiving on the VC next!
And I love Haggar's elongated ponytail.
Already...awesome I am ready to finish the trilogy and then we need Final Fight arcade
Graphics look awesome
Yay for more Capcom support! Now, how's about more Megaman? =D
I agree. ^^ How 'bout Mega Man X?
Its fantastic game ,one of the best for me in 16 bit area.
This owns FF1 on the SNES, too.
Such a great game.
i love playing final fights for any versions
This game has been rated by the ESRB for the Wii as well.
Mayor Haggar is the buffest mayor of all, well, Mayortown.
And he still fights while in office. Inspiring of him.
I think Capcom'll release this'un next month.
Is this as good as Streets of Rage 2?
Its different. I have only been able to play Final Fight 3 as a ROM (since it came out in very limited numbers here; I never once seen it for sale) and wasn't able to do the Super Moves with a keyboard. I enjoyed it though. I'll be getting it as soon as it comes out in Europe. I've played and completed Streets of Rage 2 though and thinking back at the two experiences, I can only say that they are different. Although that probably doesn't help much. I couldn't decide which one is the better game. I think that when I get it on VC, I'll enjoy Final Fight 3 more because the characters have a variety of attacks and grabs. But I'd definitely say Streets of Rage 2 is better than Final Fight 1 & 2 for sure.
Thanks for the response I will probably be tired of Streets of Rage 2 anyway when this comes out in EU, so this seems like a good beat-em-up game to get at that time.
The special moves and branching paths alone put this above the other games in the series for me.
Beat Em Ups on the SNES just don't get better than this.
Looks like I was wrong. Got released in January instead.
Where's the review?
kinda strange to say but i was really hopin that mighty final fight comes out as well. i used to love that game. i hope that gets a vc release...
that said, i'll prob buy either this one or ff2 depending on what's i feel like when it's time to pick up another game. i do love beat 'em ups and let's face it, capcom were def one of the best at the genre...
For me none of the console Final Fight games had the magic of the original Final Fight in the arcades. Even this most feature rich version of the game doesn't do it for me. Best Console scrolling brawler is Streets of Rage 2 IMO. I was never a fan of the original SoR and SoR 3 was unfortunately not as enjoyable as SoR 2 IMO. That being said, I picked this up on the VC, it's a competant brawler, but not in the same leauge as SoR 2 IMHO.
I remember playing this series on the Arcades, so i wanted to ask if the Arcades are better version than the Snes, and is there a chance a Arcade version gets released?
