But they picked the wrong dad to mess with, so Haggar stomps off to rescue her. (The Mad Gear name comes from a Capcom racing game of the same name, released as LED Storm overseas.) To get the new mayor under their thumb, they kidnap his daughter Jessica and hold her ransom.

Metro City has its gang of villains called Mad Gear, and they haven’t taken nicely to the election of former wrestler Mike Haggar. Throughout the 1980s, the metropolis had suffered from high crime rates, inspiring a large number of movies featuring drugs, gangs, and urban decay. While separate series that play quite differently, both franchises have been intrinsically linked from the beginning.įinal Fight takes place in Metro City, very obviously based on New York City. Indeed, Final Fight was originally titled “Street Fighter ’89”, positioned as a spin-off from their one-on-one fighting game released a few years earlier. The visuals were designed by Akira Nishitani and Akira “Akiman” Yasuda, both of who had previously worked together on Forgotten Worlds, and later help create the world-famous Street Fighter II two years later. While there were other similar games from competitors, the most important one, the one that established so many conventions for the genre across the next decade, was Capcom’s Final Fight.įinal Fight was directed by Yoshiki Okamoto, who developed games for Capcom like Son Son and Side Arms, and had previously worked at Konami on titles like Gyruss. Thank you for all of your support throughout the years - CoolROM will continue strong.The belt-scrolling beat-em-up genre was established by Technos’ Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun/Renegade, and further evolved through the same company’s Double Dragon. We feel we have reached this goal and helped cure more cases of nostalgia than we could have ever imagined.

From the very beginning, our goal was to allow users to re-live classic moments from video games that they have lost and cannot purchase anymore. We are very grateful to have served the emulation community for so many years and to have CoolROM still exist today. This page has been removed due to a request from Nintendo of America Inc.
