An old favourite
1 of 1 found this helpful Final Fight was released very near to the launch of the Super Famicom and SNES and while it boasted near arcade accurate graphics and sound it did lack three important features: one of the playable characters called Guy, the factory level and a simultaneous two-player mode.
Final Fight Guy was intended to remedy this, unfortunately, instead of adding Guy to the existing character roster, Capcom chose to remove Cody and replace him with Guy. And the two-player mode and missing level were still not in the game, so it wasn't really the best they could have done. The music to the missing level is in the sound test so it has been speculated Capcom were going to add the level for Guy but dumped it because it would have required a more expensive cartridge.
So why have I given the game 4 stars? Well, personally I'd have given it 5 but I'm trying to be fair to other people's expectations of the game and it is missing several features that people seem to want. Generally I only ever play Guy as I felt he was the best character and I only ever play single player so aside from the missing level I'm not too bothered about the lack of Cody or two-player. I still enjoy marching around the city beating up gangs of thugs, it's quite repetitive I suppose but the animation and variety of enemies keep things quite fun and there is the classic "destroy the car" bonus level in there as well!
One area where the game excels is the music, in fact I believe it's better than the arcade version's music and in some ways superior to the Mega CD version. While the Mega CD version streamed all of its music off the CD the arrangement of the music was inferior to the SNES version in my opinion. Graphically I also think the SNES version is superior to the Mega CD version, thanks to the larger colour palette of the SNES, although the Megadrive with its faster CPU was able to push more enemies around on screen at any one time. I think it has to be up to you about what matters most when choosing which version of Final Fight to buy.
There were two versions of Final Fight Guy released: a Japanese version and a US version. To my knowledge it never made it to Europe. The US version is interesting because it was released exclusively in very limited numbers to Blockbuster rental shops. Finding a US version fully boxed is very hard, so if you spot on on eBay and want it, make sure you big high. Also the US version has been censored, Roxy and Poison the two "female" characters have been replaced with generic thugs (Final Fight's original developers still insist Roxy and Poison are transsexuals)! And Damnd and Sodom have been renamed.
The Japanese version is relatively easy to find, but again you would probably be best to try and buy one that comes with a Mini CD featuring some great remixes of four levels from Final Fight. Finding a complete cartridge with the CD is getting quite hard and prices are going up. It's a shame the music on the Final Fight Guy CD wasn't on the Mega CD version as it would have sounded fantastic! I actually recommend the Japanese version because of the CD and the lack of censorship, while the story is in Japanese it's not hard to understand what's going on.
So who should buy this game? Probably people who enjoyed it the first time and want a bit of nostalgia, I don't think people new to it would get as much out of it without the nostalgia factor, but the Japanese version can be quite cheap so maybe give it a try?

A great replacement if your original cap breaks.
My washer cap snapped when I opened it the other week to top up the wipers. For some reason it had gone brittle, so I decided I'd like a replacement and handily this is in the same colour as mine too.
There are a couple of small differences (it has some brand name moulded into the back and there's an air hole in it) but once it's fitted you won't really notice that.
Installation is easy as it's just a small plastic hinge pushed into a notch, so you shouldn't need any tools to remove your old one and push in the new one.

Great printer, does everything I need it to do
I've only had this printer for a few days now but so far I've been very pleased with it. It's important to install the official drivers for it on Windows if you want to do duplex printing (i.e. printing on both sides of the page) because the default driver will print the second page upside down!
Once you've got it set up with wifi (note: it only supports 2.4GHz) I was able to do duplex printing directly from my iPhone and MacBook as well as my Windows PC. The print quality itself was very good, the colour reproduction was good and edges were sharp and once the data has spooled to the printer it prints very fast regardless of whether it's text or images. Pages do tend to come out slightly curled, I think it's the heat. Maybe my paper is just cheap or not suitable for a laser printer?
Scanning and printing works quite well, although I do think the scanner was a bit slower than my old printer. If you want it for big jobs where you need to scan lots of pages it might not be ideal but if you just want to copy a single page 50 times it will print them quickly.
It is pretty big and heavy so you'll need to make sure you've got space for it.
I can't comment on how sturdy the hardware is long term or how quickly the ink runs out as I've not had it long enough. My last printer was an ink jet and the ink would dry up over time so new cartridges would run out even when not used. Hopefully this printer being a laser printer it won't have that problem!
Overall, I'm very pleased with the printer, right down to small details like wireless printing and having a big tray for storing paper.
