no

can God Hand be considered a true beat em up?

streets of rage was good but no beat`em up can be compared to Mystara.

When will this meme end? this game is horrible

Yes, in everything but the soundtrack.

Yes

Streets of rage 4 for 3ds when?

my dick is the best best-em-up i have ever played

The correct term for this genre is belt-scrollers you plebs

B.RAP boys

Fuck off cunt. It s beat em up.

Source: born in the 70s, eat shit and die.

Paprium ( megadrive cart ) was meant to ship 16 September, however no gameplay videos anywhere.

Strange.

>belt-scrollers
>correct term
shut the fuck up nerd

Except Dragon's Crown and possibly Knights of Valour

Id want to include Tokyo Beat Down, if it wasnt so shit. Had high hopes at the time.

Kenka Bancho needs more love as well. It's like they were trying to do a cross between River City Ransom and Way of the Samurai and they ALMOST pull it off.

Axel or MAX THUNDER?

Streets of Rage is fun but I also like Final Fight and Double Dragon.

Strongly agree. Top gaem right there.

fpbp

guardian heroes gives it a run for its money tho but its too mashy and clusterfucky for plebs.

Max.
I loved Axel and would've loved a return in previous games, but crossing up enemies with that sliding kick to atomic drop them was satisfying as all hell.

Not quite as satisfying as a GRAND UPPAH, but then, what is?

Blaze, negro.

I thought it being a mashy clusterfuck was part of its charm, and that people didn't like CoP because it wasn't mashy or clusterfucky enough?

Dragons Crown

it's the closest and best thing to a 3d beat em up you can find

>grand upper
holy shit. All this time I thought he was screaming nonsense like ADATATA

Dragon's Crown is a shlocky fucking mess, it's like playing a doom slaughterwad, it gets so fucking crowded and mindless that it starts to resemble a musou

People are blinded by the absolutely breathtaking graphics

I liek golden axe 3

i always play as panther because he's cool
brother always picks warrior
he once beat me up for picking up his magic potion

No urban reign love?

sor is so overrated

It was either surpassed or it's on the same level, but very few people played it, since it was arcade only

Please negro

Can retro arc even emulate this? Ive been wanting to emu it on a handheld for a looooong time. ( gone brewed vita or n3ds )

Retroarch has mame, so yeah
If mame has a core on those devices I have no idea

If you played this, your childhood was awesome.

I had hoped, tho last I checked vanilla mame could not run GA3.

Perhaps time to check again on myside.

Only us 90s kids will remember this :D

Final Fight was better. Deal with it.

I could never really get into Golden Axe, the games just aren't deep enough and it's very frustrating to play alone unless you like spamming jump attacks. Revenge of Death Adder is the best of them though

That's Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder though
There's no GA3 for arcade

didn't say it's the only one
but as far as gameplay goes, god hand is king
It's also great in the design and soundtrack departement but graphically it's quite weak, especially the environments, and level design isn't always good

yes, bigger moveset, faster paced gameplay, more challenge, more varied level design.

Overpowered jump attacks is just in the first game

I always have to stop the games and spam grand upper on this guy

Maximum Carnage.
Doesn't matter, beat-em-ups are garbage anyways.

The level design is great, unless you're talking about the visual design of the levels, which in that case sure

>only person talking about konami arcade beat'em ups in a scrolling beat'em up thread
shit hurts, senpai.

fuckin kek

Why is Commander Shepard getting into brawls? Is this his pre-military life?

I'd still say Streets of Rage 2 is the best in the genre all around, that or Streets of Rage Remake.

There are games with deeper gameplay like Alien Vs Predator and Guardians/Denjin Makai 2, but they aren't as well balanced and the music isn't nearly as good.

Musou games are the successor of the beat em up in 3D I feel. I enjoyed "purer" 3d takes on the genre like Spikeout, but musou games give me the same gameplay loop of tearing through mooks with style and trying to keep the screen under control so you don't get mobbed.

>beat-emp-ups are garbage
Enjoy your digital brownie point.

Play with 2 people and it won't be so messy

there are a few spots that aren't really that great but overall it's fine, didn't mean to say its trash or something

I'll namedrop Metamorphic Force if that tickles your fancy, but as good as it is, I don't think it's better than Streets of Rage


Not Konami but Ninja Baseball Bat Man also deserves a mention

you forgot to mention the worst soundtrack ever made for a video game, how could they fuck it up that badly after SoR2?
I don't like the visual design as much as 2 either, and while the gameplay itself is definitely good at its core the enemies have a lot of dodgy shit going on with hit registering and such. also,
>no Max

I played exclusively co-op

The correct answer is both in co-op. Blaze and Skate may as well not be in the game.

...

The Bouncer would have been a fucking amazing 3D beat-em-up if the story supported 2-3 player co-op. The versus multiplayer is still a pretty good brawler though

what if you have no friends?

>remember that Konami has both Metamorphic Force AND Bloody Roar licenses and won't do anything with either.

enemies have way too bloated healthbars, the stages are a clusterfuck with too much dudes in them, items of any sort are few and far between, and the soundtrack is honestly the worst I've ever heard for any game.

I mean the music was literally randomly generated. The only good thing about Streets of Rage 3 was the new super system and the upward/downward dodge.

Absolutely not

There are 3d beat'em ups that stay way closer to the spirit of 2d beat'em ups like Yakuza, God Hand, Dynamite Deka and like you mentioned, Spikeout. Even the crazy slashers like DMC or Bayonetta are way closer in spirit to beat'em ups.

Mowing down armies of soldiers is not the same as a more careful approach to taking down a couple enemies at a time in a strictly melee fashion.

you can play Streets of Rage Remake and have an AI buddy which even has 5 settings for behavior.

That said, in Streets of Rage Remake there's like 12 playable characters so you aren't so limited in your choices, though Max is still arguably the best in the game.

Streets of Rage Remake is the best 2D beatemup, Dynamite Deka 2 is the best 3D beatemup

>The police will never help you
What is this liberal bullshit in my game? Why does every game have an agenda?

Creators need to stop putting their personal views in my vidya.

i fucking loved bouncer - i dont know why people hated it

non of the settings prevent the AI from getting wrecked by trains when using max's slow jump

Unsure if bait or retarded
Neither options are looking out good for you

What Beat Em Ups should I add to my RetroPie?

nanatsu kaze no shima monogatari

>not knowing the streets of rage story and lore.

things were better in the 90s

thumbs up if u agree

>We'll never get a Streets of Rage game where Axel talks about his love of visual novels and finding new and interesting people to punch
youtube.com/watch?v=g5ihXvUL84U

I played SoR3 more than 2 back in my day, and you're right. While there are some decent tracks towards the beginning of the game, whoever composed the music placed an emphasis on heavy dub/techno instead of memorable electronica melodies

u know I'm right pussy

>The police will never help you
>Press A
>The police help you

I think you can cherry pick anything from any era and make it look like it was either better or worse that what it is now since you're essentially comparing a whole decade that you were able to pick apart and sample for almost 30 years now and still haven't found everything good the current decade has to offer.

Kinda hard to find good examples of arcade scrolling beat'em ups when arcades are no longer a thing.

There are good examples though, like that one that just came out on steam that I'm probably not allowed to talk about because it was a few days ago and we're not allowed to talk about indie games in their first week of release because we get called shills.

I actually have my near-100% save (could never get black-hoodie Sion) and my friends and I will still play it to this day. The 4-player versus mode is fun as hell, and extremely funny with the ragdoll physics.

It was panned on release mostly because Square Enix hyped it up SO much, yet the game clearly had some cuts made in order to get it out for the PS2 release. Things like co-op campaign, destructible and varied MP stages, etc were really needed.

If they released a remaster in 1080p with some of these things added, I think it would be pretty well-received today, especially now that the original hype is gone. The game actually still looks pretty good for a PS2 game

it wasnt "randomly generated", parts of it were yes but that is actually common in electronic music to get unusual sounds. i actually love the ost because its darker and more abrasive than you normally hear in videogames. and yeah even though the enemies have more health i still feel like theres a much faster pace to the combat than the previous 2 games,

Play Bare Knuckle 3. It fixed the problems Streets of Rage 3 had, gameplay-wise, and had an extra character.

I liked Final Fight 3 cause I could input issues like a fighting game instead of just mashing the punch button.

...

It doesn't fix the game's main problem which is that it's fucking boring. That dumb part where a bull dozer chases you and you break walls, the annoying level where you just wait in a little room while a train passes every ten seconds, and all the other tedious gimmicky crap they added just for the sake of variation.

Streets of Rage 3 is like an experiment to see how little effort it takes to turn an amazing game into an awful one.

No.

Also, I want SOR Mania to happen.

I think you could do that in SORR and... Sengoku 3? I have a hard time remembering anything about neogeo beat'em ups, that shit is desperation tier.

Gameplay wise, I definitely liked the more aggressive enemies but there was fucked shit like Mona Lisa hitboxes. The best parts were the new vertical dodge and how they fixed weapons from SOR2. I feel like the aesthetic components of the games are incredibly important though, and they outweigh those changes. Axel has a gay yellow shirt and boat-like negro shoes. The game looks kind of bloated. The design has a fixation on new goofy shit like Zan, Bruce and Roo. Soundtrack is vomit-inducing. These choices make it far inferior to SOR2 and even 1 in my opinion

>implying SOR was even that good

OP is a brit. SOR doesnt even surpass Final Fight.

This nigga know what's up.

That's a big "no", if anything musou is an offshoot of hack'n'slash.

British guy in this was the most stylish vampire hunter there's been since Jojo.
If you told me he was a reference to Jonathan I'd have believed you.

Play the Remake man, it's basically the best parts of all 3 games put together. It was an official project until Sega dropped it (IIRC to push their mobile port of SoR 1)

Yes, Castle Crashers.

Beat em ups have no depth to them, the only fun thing about them was playing with friends and really any beat em up with that was par with Streets of Rage or any other classic.

Castle crashers pales in comparison, it suffers too much from the "Quantity = quality" mindset and piles on too much shit. The differences between characters are too minute to be worth anything, the items you get are all pretty useless, and the gameplay itself is pretty bland. Plus there's a lack of feedback when clobbering dudes.

The sandwich powerup however makes the game super fun, shame it's so limited

>Beat em ups have no depth to them

Are you referring to story, or to gameplay?

If you are referring to story: sure, I can give you that to some degree. Some beat-em-ups are very short on story.

If you are referring to gameplay: well, they'll only be as deep as you want them to be. Especially if you are bad at action based games in general.

I usually just win by spamming the invincible 'get off me' move over and over and over and over again because I always get to him with a full health bar.

He's just not worth a legitimate effort.

Fight n rage looks fun but i cant buy cause no steam. Anyone own this?

1D beat em ups suck, the games LITERALLY have no depth
