Default Snow Brothers and Mighty Final Fight

Hi. I set out to find a reasonable price for a complete copy of Ducktales 2 and wound up finding an auction that also included complete copies of Snow Brothers and Mighty Final Fight. I submitted my best offer on a whim and won.

My first question is: are either of these games any good? I like beat em' up's, but I could never get into the SNES Final Fight. I also like NES platform/puzzle games and Snow Bros. kind of looks like Bubble Bobble (which I like).

Second question. Did I get hosed on the price? They are all complete and in pretty good shape. I paid $265 with shipping. I'll probably regret it later, but for right now, I'm just happy to finally have Ducktales 2.

Both are great games. You may have paid a bit too much, unless Mighty Final Fight is worth more than I think.

These days, that price is par for the course. IMO, you see them enough that no more than $180 would be my estimation of price.

Yikes bra, I'd say you got hosed bad on the price.

Mighty Final Fight is a pretty good game, but if you don't like beat 'em ups, you shouldn't have bothered, if you like to play all your games.

EDIT: Ooops I see I misread. Whatever, Might Final Fight is good. Maybe you'll like it.

Since you said you like beat'em ups, I guess you're gonna enjoy Mighty Final Fight. It's fun and fast paced... a pretty good game, especially if you consider it's on the NES. And the XP system adds a different flavor to it.

I don't know about pricing, though. What I can say is that I payed 20 brazilian bucks (aprox. 10 dollars) for my original, rental box copy of Migthy Final Fight.

I'll not comment on price, as I'm no collector, but Snow Brothers is a phenomenal game. It's best overall on the Mega Drive, but the NES version has its charm. You'll have a lot of fun with it, no question.

Keep in mind the price was for all three games complete and in good condition. I don't think I did that bad...

I got to level 4 on Mighty Final Fight last night. It's pretty good, though I thought the bosses were a little cheap. I still like TMNT III better. I got to level 45 or so on Snow Brothers. I liked it a lot. I'll have to give my brother a call so we can play 2 players. We were pretty good at Bubble Bobble back in the day. Ducktales 2 was as good as I already knew it was, but even more fun to play on a real NES.
