Final Fight Enhanced - An enhanced Amiga AGA/ECS version of a classic Beat 'em up from 1991

Well this is fantastic news for a Sunday, as I've just been been told that Prototron and team has released a much improved build of the previously released enhanced version of the 1991 US GOLD published Beat 'em up of 'Final Fight' for the Amiga; A game that when it was originally released back in the 90's, was regarded as either a failure, or just a pretty terrible game suffering the same fate as the Street Fighter II Amiga port ". To coincide with this news, provided below is the latest footage of this incredible looking enhanced version of Final Fight that was coded in 68000 assembly.

For those of you who missed the big release announcement when the first build was released last year. This is what was said about the game "The game takes place in its own universe separate from the Capcom timeline, and features some changes which blend elements from different iterations of the series. Maki was my favorite feature of Final Fight 2, so I decided quite early on to include her as a playable character, as well as give her spritework and moveset a slight re-design to my own taste. Please be aware that this is a personal project which was used as a way to learn how the Amiga works, and not a commercial game made for public consumption. Therefore, there may be some bugs present, and sacrifices have had to be made in the conversion from arcade to Amiga".
