Absolutely wrecked my left thumb on the SNES controller I played this with yesterday. They did not have comfort as a priority back in the 90s.
Anyway, it was nice seeing this on the SNES Classic that I have here at the house. I remember playing this on my own SNES when I was a kid years ago and it’s still a lot of fun. If I remember correctly, I had a third-party controller that had a turbo switch with varying speeds and would play different games with that, including this one for an even more manic experience.
As an adult, you do notice the spammy opponents and the cheating A.I., but you still feel like you need to get to that ending despite everything. The normal gameplay is glacial by today’s standards, but a necessary tool for beginners to learn the battle system.
All in all, a good game, but I’m not going to let nostalgia cloud my judgement. It’s foundational for the fighting genre, for sure, but it has its problems.
7/10
