Nah, drug research. She just had days off she had to burn near the end of the year.
I went through and cleaned everything and now all my games but Knights of the Round work on both of my SNESi. It is only slightly more to buy a PCB than a new SNES cart of KOR...
I've been wanting to dive into Rushing Beat sometime. I'm going to say it, but I liked Peace Keepers more than Final Fight. Had a lot more content and branching paths. The lack of BGM was super weird though, but yeah didn't it have an option for it? And my favorite character was the Guy-like guy in the brown coat you had to put a code in to unlock. It's a funky game but I spent a lot of time with it, will be curious to check out the Rushing Beat version sometime.

It did have an option to turn the music on, but it's shuffled out of order compared to the SFC release. It's just bizarre.
But yeah, Rushing Beat Shura can absolutely stand toe-to-toe with say, Final Fight 3. I still pick FF3 but that 4-player fight mode is something no other 16-bit beat em up can offer.
Final Fight 3 is one of the best fighting games I've played, mainly because it really seems to integrate some stuff that Sega was doing with the Streets of Rage games. Really, really solid, and it actually has a little more depth.
I still want to see a good Double Dragon revival (I loved Neon, but it also doesn't really feel like the DD games of old). I miss fighting games with really varied movesets. I get why Final Fight was so popular, but really, it's a very simple game mechanically.

My complaints with Final Fight 3 tend to be that I was used to more complex belt-scrollers and couldn't figure out why it took Capcom to FF3 to add that complexity, and I also found the character animation a little lacking. It is indeed one of the better SNES belt-scrollers, and the system had a lot of them, but so many of them were throw-away games. Thank goodness the system got Super Double Dragon.
My knock on Final Fight 2-3 is that... they are so damn short! Like 30 minutes long haha. Guess that's not a huge deal since it's arcadey and simple fun, but yeah. They just never really seem that memorable to me.
I did not like Super Double Dragon. Rented it, played it once, took it back and got something else. FF or Rushing Beat series on the SNES, and some of the outliers, there's a ton more.
