You Only Live Once: Mighty Final Fight (NES)

Welcome to YOLO, the video series where I play as much of a game in a single life. No continues or cheating; I only have one life to live. Join me as I tackle a different game every THURSDAY and SUNDAY. And don't forget to subscribe to the Defunct Games YouTube channel for more content!


My name is Cyril Lachel and you're watching YOLO, the only show that's guaranteed to end in heartbreak. I'm taking the challenge to play every game with a You Only Live Once attitude. In this case, literally. I'll play exactly one life of every game, seeing just how far I can make it in a single turn.

Today we're looking at Mighty Final Fight for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Released in 1993, this is an 8-bit reimagining of the classic arcade game. But don't expect a direct port, because Capcom has made a few substantial changes. Let's go ahead and push start and see what happens.

and look at Mighty Final Fight's first stage!
