The revival of the Beat em’ Up genre is here

[Gizmo_Duck]

Saw this thread and then remembered they were are entering a new age of beat em’ ups unlike we haven’t seen since the arcade golden era.

You dont know the stress this game put on my life. I used to end up with NES games from my older brothers and their friends and this was one of the games

Did they ever fix the woeful frame issues for River City Ransom girls 2?
The first was so fukkin' piff, I bought the second and had to IMMEDIATELY refund it less than an hour in 'cause the frame rate was DEPLORABLE.
Can't look at anything else after I finish that, personally.​

Ninja Gaiden Arcade was essentially a beatemup

I would like to see a proper sequel to final fight
Final fight 2/3 I remember not caring for at all but I can't remember why I didn't like them. Final fight 1 was a huge deal to me back in the day.

Little known factoid....

Final fight was created to be the sequel to street fighter 1 it's also why so many final fight characters have made it into street fighter.

Can’t ever see capcom going back to the genre, who knows though

one is peak for 2d the other is peak for 3d

Shredder revenge is almost perfect but a lot of people have tried to copy it and all the clones are not as good the power rangers and GI JOE etc

i think the marvel game will be good but Sifu strikes the right balance between feel good to play and being cinematic
