I'm glad 3 added some special moves to the mix, but after playing actual GOOD beat 'em ups like Battle Circuit, SoR2, Guardian Heroes, etc., I can't go back to Final Fight 1 and 2. Too basic for me.
Oh man, I gotta agree with you on this one. Earthbound is a holy grail among some people apparently, I've gotten into some hilariously lame arguments with friends by just simply saying "I don't like it", they get so offended like I just literally pooped in their food or something. I even tried rewatching a bunch of videos on youtube recently, and just absolutely nothing about it looks appealing to me. lol
Funny enough Ness was one of my favorite characters in some of the Smash Bros games.
I dig the original Final Fight (non-SNES versions are definitely nicer, Guy rocks), but I totally agree on that note too. I'd take NES beat em' ups over it like TMNT 2-3, Battletoads, etc. Final Fight was just super clunky in comparison, I don't even bother comparing that series to Streets of Rage in my mind.
