What are the best console Beat Em Ups? This was my favorite as a kid, but outside of it and Golden Axe and a little bit of Turtles In Time I realize I actually never played too many others

[Anonymous No.5332859]

I'm not going to get into what's "the best," but I've always enjoyed Final Fight 2 & 3. FF2 (in my opinion) has more interesting stages, but FF3 added dashing and super moves. Skip FF1 on SNES, as it's missing an entire stage and is single-player only. There are better ways to play FF1. Either Final Fight One for the Game Boy Advance or Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle on all current-gen consoles.

You missed the Sega CD version of Final Fight. Had the stuff that was cut from the SNES version afaik.

[Anonymous No.5332875]

>>5332870
That's true, but I was just trying to bring up the more accessible versions. While we're at it, there's also the Capcom Classics Collection on the PS2.

River city Ransom has a nice updated port on PC Engine CD (16-bit graphics and redbook audio)

[Anonymous No.5332953]

This is the best I've played so far.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was a forgettable cartoon but the beat 'em up was awesome.

Are Double Dragon games good?

Hell yeah, nigger.

[Anonymous No.5334648]

on sega genesis the only beat em ups worthwhile are dragon axe and ninja turtles, but the snes have so many good games like the best version of ninja turtles, captain commando, final fight 3, it just renders the sega genesis worthless.
also the beat em ups on snes plays smoothly, whyle on genesis they are all clunky and unappealing.

I would definitely say Streets Of Rage 2 is the better game than Final Fight 3, to me anyway. I just played about 80 percent of both on single player and I would say Final Fight 3 offers more stock/boring enemies who are much more repetitive from stage to stage, who you have to fight for a longer period of time in a less satisfying way. And funny you mention the smoothness, because I found the control to be pretty annoying mainly because of how limited you are in terms of movement....yeah there's a dash and you walk faster which is nice, but ultimately still feels way more stiff since you can only move in one direction at a time while in Streets Of Rage 2 you can actually walk in diagonal lines, very important to this kind of game IMO. The game definitely looks great, visually it's far more impressive than Streets Of Rage 2, but that ultimately doesn't mean much when you're playing a game and not watching a playthrough or something.>>5334648

River City Ransom
Mighty Final Fight

>SNES
The Ninja Warriors Again
Batman Returns
(b-but muh multiplayer. fuck yo multiplayer)

>Genesis
Streets of Rage 2
Streets of Rage 1 (for the music and atmosphere)

>>5334648
cpt commando on snes is a fucking joke, terrible port, final fight 3 is shite, all the snes ones are riddled with fucking slowdown and sprite limitations that hurt every game, none of them are anywhere near as smooth as streets of rage 3

>>5334680
yeah 3's miles better honestly, just a shame they fucked up the borders and gave bosses 7 life bars on hard lmao aside from that its play and function is miles better.


>>5335630
why put for music and atmosphere when you're obviously a pleb cunt shit player so every fucking one of your picks is based on music and atmosphere because thats all you know.

[Anonymous No.5335783]

Is it true only the Japanese version of Streets Of Rage 3 is good, or are people just being babies about the difficulty?

Battletoads/Double Dragon is one of the only beat-'em-ups I even like.

[Anonymous No.5336504]

>>5335783
babies, it has the better story if you give a fuck about that which i don't but the difficulty is just so fucking easy, on hardest it's still easier than u.s normal

Don't forget Streets of Rage 3 is censored. You don't get to see Electra and her clones walk around with their ass hanging out....

>What are the best console Beat Em Ups?
don't really have to qualify it that one, console bmups are almost always better than arcade ones (see: turtles in time or compare streets of rage to final fight), but my favorite is Alien Storm

1 and 2 on NES are great

Why do people keep lying to themselves? How are ruined controls good? DD2 is a piece of shit.

>compare streets of rage to final fight
But Final Fight is clearly much better?

[Anonymous No.5336881]

>>5333069

Yes especially with two players. 1 and 2 are good on NES but they're awful on Genesis. Battletoads and Double Dragon is great on Genesis though with many thinking it's the best version of that game.

Bare Knuckle 3 is the king of them all. Final Fight 3 is alright, much better than the first 2.
Double Dragon 2 on NES is heaps of fun
>>5332953
That's incredibly slow, repetitive and mediocre.
