Final Fight is a beat 'em up game initially released in arcades in 1989 and later ported to the Nintendo Wii. The Wii version preserves the core gameplay while adapting controls for the platform. Unlike the original arcade, the port features two-player cooperative play and retains the game's iconic characters and levels. It updates graphics and sound, offering a nostalgic experience for fans of the series.
A port of Final Fight for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was released as a launch title for the platform in Japan in 1990 and later in North America in 1991 and then in the PAL region in 1992. The SNES port removed the two-player co-op option, the Industrial Area level and playable character Guy. Most of the scene transitions were also edited out. In the arcade version, the player characters would be seen exiting the levels and breaking through doors unlike the SNES version. Due to hardware limitations the SNES version could only display two or three enemies on-screen, in contrast to the CPS arcade version, which could display up to nine or ten enemies on-screen; to make up for this difference, the SNES version features more stopping points than the arcade version and the enemy placement is vastly different.
