>every single beat'em up ever made that's even remotely notable?
That's exaggerating. There are plenty I've omitted due to less refined gameplay or forgetfulness. But if you want me to be a little more realistic:

Double Dragon (NES)
Double Dragon 2 (NES)
Return of Double Dragon
River City Ransom
TMNT 2 (NES)
TMNT 4: Turtles in Time
Streets of Rage
SoR 2
SoR 3
Battletoads in Battlemaniacs
Battletoads & Double Dragon (SNES)
Final Fight (Arcade)
Final Fight 3
Sengoku 3
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
Armored Warriors
Aliens vs Predator
Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom
Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara
Guardian Heroes
Dynamite Deka 2
Viewtiful Joe
Dragon's Crown

Honestly, the original list isn't that long if you've got an itch to start a beat 'em up collection and don't mind emulation. Shmup genre's far more prosperous in contrast.
