3w ago01:06:53Tap to summarizeIt is time for the final fight.....in chibi form. Yes, we are talking Mighty Final Fight for the NES.

Episode 202 - Ristar
Mar 1301:20:24Tap to summarizeRistar the Sonic killer, well that was what he was called at the time. Surprisingly this game was only released on the mega drive and game gear with no other sequels.
