Great stuff. Thanks for sharing. When I first played this on the NES I was blown away. Incredible that Capcom transferred all of the gameplay onto the 8-bit platform, indeed, one could even argue that the experience point system improved upon the original arcade formula!
Loved the ripping on the SNES ports that only included 2 players. What a farce. I'll never give FF or FF w/Guy any compliments. Nor will they ever appear on my website. Mighty Final Fight was really close to cracking my top 10 beat 'em ups list (http://timewarpgamer.com/top10s/beat_em_ups.html). With FF (Sega CD) and FF3 (SNES) already in the top 10, though, it's hard to find room for a third game from the same franchise.
You mentioned the art style in your review, but I wish you expanded on it a little more—my one tiny criticism. The super-deformed art style appeared in precious few games. To my knowledge the only non-Japanese NES SD titles are River City Ransom and MFF. So that's another factor that makes MFF extra awesome and special.

Why not make it an honorable mention? River City Ransom is #4 on your list and it's not everyday a game like MFF comes around.

I felt other games deserved to expand on that idea in full detail, so I'm reserving my thoughts for those reviews. But what made MFF's case interesting was Capcom's reinvention of current IP with a humorous twist to achieve a high level of quality for a less graphically powerful machine and applying that as example third party developers can do for the Wii. Strangely, they've been giving themselves a hard time profiting from the Wii crowd and going the "SD route" is a viable option.
