Boasting slightly smaller sprites than Capcom&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/snes\/final_fight\">Final Fight<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 which is a clear inspiration \u2013 Zero Team is nonetheless a good time if you&#8217;re a fan of belt-scrolling brawlers. It&#8217;s a shame that it never got ported in the &#8217;90s, but, thanks to its inclusion in the burgeoning Arcade Archives range, it can now reach a wider audience.<\/p>\n<p>Zero Team will cost the usual \u00a36.29 \/ $7.99 \/ 6.99 Euros, and will apparently include both the Japanese <em>and<\/em> western versions of the game (the latter was rebalanced).
