This is gameplay of a prototype fighting game that was developed for the SNES. It's basically Final Fight with a cloned character of Superman. It's actually a pretty decent fighting game, shame it didn't get released. This prototype was about 75% complete. The game was likely cancelled since the Prime comic book wasn't a sales success and the comic was discontinued roughly around the same time they ended development of this video game.

Prime is a superhero character created by Bob Jacob, Gerard Jones, Len Strazewski, Norm Breyfogle, and Bret Blevins. The character debuted in Prime #1 under Malibu Comics' Ultraverse imprint, and was one of the publisher's flagship characters, and a member of its superhero team Ultraforce. The character is a thirteen-year-old boy named Kevin Green with the power to transform into the physical form of a super-powered adult, but with his adolescent mind unchanged. This is a source of conflict for the character, as he is frequently placed in situations he may not be mature enough to deal with.

The character first appeared in Prime #1, dated June 1993, written by Gerard Jones and Len Strazewski and illustrated by Norm Breyfogle. The series ran until August 1995, with a total of 26 issues. Breyfogle departed as regular artist after issue 12, with subsequent artists including George Pérez, Darick Robertson, and John Statema.
