Beat-'em-ups ruled arcades in the early '90s, and unfortunately, the 16-bit Super NES was incapable of bringing the arcade experience home at launch. Capcom's Final Fight hit the SNES in 1991 with a large chunk of its arcade content removed, and worst of all, it lost its two-player co-op mode - a key feature that drove the genre's rising popularity.

Earlier this week, Co-Optimus took on the Sega Saturn Bubble Bobble sequel Bubble Symphony and emerged victorious, earning the game's ludicrously difficult-to-achieve "good" ending. My partner Alex and I streamed the playthrough live, and an archive is embedded below.
