Mighty Final Fight Forever, the highly anticipated fan-made sequel to Capcom’s NES classic, is set to officially launch on December 23, 2025.
This free, unofficial release offers a fresh take on the original Mighty Final Fight—a renowned spin-off from Capcom's iconic Final Fight series—and brings new gameplay innovations and expanded content to retro gaming enthusiasts.
Developed by an independent team of fans utilizing the OpenBoR Engine, Mighty Final Fight Forever picks up four years after the events of the 1993 NES title.
The project, led by creator Daniel99j, has been in active development for over two years and aims to pay homage to Capcom's revered beat ‘em up franchise.
The original series, which found widespread popularity in the late 1980s and early '90s, was instrumental in boosting hardware sales for platforms like the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and Sega’s Mega CD, while Mighty Final Fight brought a unique 'super deformed' art style and RPG elements to the NES audience. The developers confirmed the December 23 launch date alongside an announcement of a special pre-release livestream event.
During this event, fans will have the opportunity to interact with the team and Daniel99j, ask questions, watch an exclusive walkthrough, and celebrate the official release of the game.
In a statement, the team emphasized their commitment to the project’s community: "We know you've been waiting a long time.
Now, it's time to fulfill our promise with a unique pre-release stream.
Join us for a Q&A session, our first public gameplay walkthrough—without extensive spoilers—and be part of the game’s launch." Mighty Final Fight Forever features completely revamped visuals and audio, introducing new enemies, locations, weapons, and an original soundtrack.
In departure from the NES original, the new title supports cooperative play, enabling two players to team up.
Players can also explore multiple branching routes through the game’s stages, enhancing replayability.
Additionally, a 'retro' mode has been integrated for longtime fans who want to relive the classic NES experience. A playable demo of Mighty Final Fight Forever is currently available for download, offering a glimpse of the quality and dedication invested by the indie development team.
The finished product is poised to deliver an authentic yet modernized experience that honors Capcom’s legacy while catering to today’s retro gaming community. Mighty Final Fight Forever is not an official Capcom release, but its arrival on December 23 will mark a significant milestone in community-led game development.
With its roots in the legacy of Nintendo and the enduring appeal of classic beat ’em ups, this fan-made sequel is set to draw the attention of gamers, collectors, and enthusiasts alike.
