It would be great if Capcom could sort out the necessary licencing to have a Capcom Beat 'em up Bundle Volume 2 with Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, Alien vs Predator and The Punisher included!
C&D and AVP are imposdible due to copyrights being in licensing limbo. The Punisher is impossible because Disney owns him now and they demand outrageous prices for their licenses (especially now when they have financial trouble). Would be great, yes, but it will not happen.
@@MidBoss666 That's just not true at all. The Punisher is already on a 3-in-1 Arcade 1Up machine alongside Marvel Super Heroes and X-Men: Children of the Atom, and AVP is on the Capcom Home Arcade stick they released in 2019. Capcom reps have expressed that they still have a working relationship with Marvel (so technically Disney). Licencing isn't an issue.
Hate the facts Marvel didn't give Capcom the license to add *Daredevil* as player 2 in the Punisher game .. can tell nick fury dose some kind of whip attack... Wonder what Marvel reasoning for that ?
Pretty complete list. The ones I come back to most often cause of their entertaining gameplay, unique mechanics and reasonable length (lets face it, it's very repetitive genre) are: - The Punisher - Vendetta - Night Slashers - Battle Circuit - Violent Storm (honorable mention)
I was born in 1980 and from what I saw growing up in the arcades is that 1. TMNT, 2. TMNT Turtles in Time, 3. X-Men, 4. Simpsons, and 5. Alien vs Predator were the most popular arcade games that everybody played in the 80's and 90's at arcades everywhere. Also Bucky O'Hare should've been on the list for sure.
Imo the tmnt and simpsons machines were very popular not only because the games were cool but I dunno… there was something kinda magical about how the machines looked…
@@awakenedsoul2638 I agree that Final Fight is not even close to the most in depth or interesting beatemup from the arcade era. Buuuut, all of the influencers hyped it up and since it was in every fucking arcade on the planet everyone recognizes it and nostalgia kicks in. A ridiculous amount of games on this list are much better than final fight lol
@@usernamemonopoly I love Final Fight but not the arcade, I like the one they made on the Family Computer Mighty Final Fight. Play it you will love it! The other one is a lot better the reprogrammed one, Mighty Final Fight Rebirth up to 3 to 4 players, search it here.
Same for Greece! It was in every ship going to Greek Islands. As a kid for at least three years I remember in my summer vacations I was in the boat's arcades tossing my dad's coins like mad! hahaha good times :)
Its funny that one of my favorite beat' em ups is Streets of Rage 2 and it didn't come out in arcades. Unless you count the Mega Tech arcade system, I never actually seen one in person. Golden Axe The Revenge of Death Adder is a hidden gem, it should of came out on the Sega Saturn back in the day!
@@jonathanbalcerasgomez4881 En donde? Yo la verdad que sepa nunca estuvo. Solo el primer Streets of Rage estuvo en el "Arcade" de Megadrive que era realmente el mismo hardware pero una cabina recreativa, como el Nintendo VS pero de SEGA que yo sepa. Me interesaría saber.
These games should be in 2 differents lists, the gameplay and perspective are so different : Double dragon, Golden axe, Final fight etc ... =brawlers Altered Beast, Bad Dudes vs Dragoninja, Magic Sword, Eightman etc = Plafformer beat them up
I wouldn't have expected Renegade to make it (It may have started the genre as it is shown (mostly) here, but it was pretty much a first draft of things compared to even Double Dragon, its immediate successor), but Warriors of Fate not reaching the top 25 was surprising. Perhaps it was a localization issue to caused some people forget or downrate it. (References to it essentially being a predecessor to Koei's Dynasty Warriors series were removed in localization.)
Nice list, I'm missing Zeroteam and why is Altered Beast here? Feels somehow off and I don't get why Double Dragon is so high on the list, it's iconic, that's for sure, but is it really that good...?
I am partly responsible for Knights of the round and golden axe revenge of death adder getting the cut. my brother used to playe the former all the time on psp along with king of dragons.
Great list and i agree to many of them but no denjin makai 2 or Oriental Legends 2. That is nuts because these 2 games is the cream ala cream. I guess that not many people tried them.
No way in hell does Night Slashers belong above Metamorphic Forces, Violent Storm and Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder. Metamorphic Forces should have been an easy top 10.
Final Fight es el mejor de todos. Para los que dicen que está sobrevalorado o que hay mejores, primero aprendan a jugarlo como se debe, con una sola ficha. El gameplay es prácticamente perfecto, los enemigos diferenciados, sprites bien hechos, alta dificultad, etc. Juegos como Dungeon and Dragons son más complejos, con más elementos y opciones, pero mucho más fáciles que Final Fight donde cada pantalla es un peligro. Final Fight es el padre de todos los beat em ups, y el mejor realizado.
En ves de double dragon, o del primer golden axe, yo hubiera puesto a sengoku 3. Yo pienso que final fight esta sobrevalorado, no es mal juego, pero tampoco me parece un juego extraordinario para que este primero, hay muchos beat em up de los arcades que superan a final fight
Shocked the Dungeons and Dragons series isn't ranked at the top. To me, it is essentially the pinnacle of the genre. I can definitely see why Golden Axe is so highly rated though. It has amazing gameplay.
Yes, interesting that Altered Beast is the only "flat" beat em up in the list and all the rest are "roaming" into and out of the screen. What's the proper terminology for that? 🤔
Searching for an old arcade game (Beat'em ups), where you can choose 1 character ( 2 same ninja guys red and blue, girl and green muscle old man), first boss where 2 twins with halebarda, second on the piers who have a skill that send to you an crow, 3 some phantom or who can disappear. Can some one help me find this game ? Mersi.
Beat'em ups are my favourite genre in gaming! Thanks for this!

Punisher>>>Final Fight. The latter was one of the first, but Punisher has MANY more weapons.
Pretty complete list. The ones I come back to most often cause of their entertaining gameplay, unique mechanics and reasonable length (lets face it, it's very repetitive genre) are:
- The Punisher
- Vendetta

Vendetta and crime fighters are some of my all time favorites.

Double Dragon was the biggest when it came out and started it all
Agree with Final Fight as number one. But AvP should be a bit higher. Had the most detailed art style imo.
Alien Vs Predator should be at Number one and Final Fight Should be number 4.

Shitladesh
Amazing list ^^
A bit sad that Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun/Renegade didn't make it, but really happy that Violent Storm did ^^
Awesome list. I haven’t heard of a few of these, so I’ve got some new games to try out now.

This is a very good list but you forgot some gems like Sengoku 3, Denjin Makai Guardians, The Combatribes, Armored Warriors and Streets of Rage.
I don't think Streets of rage was an arcade game
Streets of Rage is possibly the greatest Beat em up ever, but it was never an arcade release (and that made it even more impressive)
Pero street of rage 2 si llego a arcade
@@jonathanbalcerasgomez4881 En donde? Yo la verdad que sepa nunca estuvo. Solo el primer Streets of Rage estuvo en el "Arcade" de Megadrive que era realmente el mismo hardware pero una cabina recreativa, como el Nintendo VS pero de SEGA que yo sepa. Me interesaría saber.
@@dr_uboes al contrario el primero nunca estuvo en arcade pero el segundo si
Rock solid list. Good to see violet storm in aswell. Mega cheezy game. Love it.
Personally I'd squeeze Asterix and 64th street somwhere in the top 10.
1. Final Fight
2. Turtles in Time
3. X-Men
4. Turtles The Arcade Game
5. The Simpsons
Ah, some good childhood memories in this vid, especially Vendetta - nice to know I'm not the only one who loved that game!
I've discovered arcade beat'em ups quite recently. The one that got me into them was Alien vs Predator. A phenomenal game!
I agree. I LOVE this beat 'em up
Let's go HAMSTER... we need more of these on Nintendo Switch :)
Switch is my arcade system your right we need this and more let’s go HAMSTER corporation
I wanna get zapped into all these games and fight tirelessly.
Crime fighters
These games should be in 2 differents lists, the gameplay and perspective are so different :
Double dragon, Golden axe, Final fight etc ... =brawlers
Altered Beast, Bad Dudes vs Dragoninja, Magic Sword, Eightman etc = Plafformer beat them up
I would love to see all these games on the iircade. I think this is a perfect list. Just not in the proper order for me, but all are classics.
I never heard of half of these, and as soon as I didn't see Final Fight anywhere else, I knew that it would be the top game.
aliens vs predator should have been number 1
Violent storm is my favorite!
Missing Data East "Bad Dudes". One of my favs. Great list anyway .
Los betaem ups de neogeo como la trilogía Sengoku, Mutant Nation y otros títulos
ah yes nostalgia
side scrolling beat em up games are really good to play, i remember playing a lot of side scrolling beat em up games a lot as a kid
11:51 _Caddilac and Dinosaurs_
8:39 _Alien Versus Predator_
12:56 _Final Fight_
that's my favorite Beat 'em up games
Metamorphic Forces omg i forgot the name of this classic , ty vm

I was surprised to not see Robo Army, Mutation Nation or even The Combat Tribes on here.
those games are legendary! for me better than modern ones with no aim:)
Final Fight never been surpassed. The best of them all.
Best game genre for pick up and play (besides maybe Shmups).
Always fun to beat some bad guys.
VENDETTA /Crime Fighters 2 is my absolute favoris
Grandes títulos muy buen recopilatorio
Aw man, armored warriors and bucky o hare didnt make the cut.
Great list...yep, final fight is the king!
Nice list, I'm missing Zeroteam and why is Altered Beast here? Feels somehow off and I don't get why Double Dragon is so high on the list, it's iconic, that's for sure, but is it really that good...?
The Punisher, Golden Axe, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are my favorites.
I am partly responsible for Knights of the round and golden axe revenge of death adder getting the cut. my brother used to playe the former all the time on psp along with king of dragons.
getting the cut ?
No doubt about it, Capcom made the best beat-em-ups!
Is this a ranked list? If so, yikes.
Capcom & Konami’s greatest hits…
also, Sega & Data East participation trophies
Surely a top 25 list of best beat em ups cannot be complete without the inclusion of Streets of Rage 2?
That wasn't an arcade game
@@ccego449 my mistake. I thought the list refered to arcade "style" beat em ups", not strictly just arcade games
Grandisimos juegos todos ellos. Buen gusto tienen los que han votado si señor. Echo de menos eso si al Mutation Nation.
I’m Excited for TMNT Shedder’s Revenge and Mayhem Brawler
all bombastic !!! Ninja Combat ?? D.J. BOY ???
Which of these Beat'em ups do you want to play?
Me: Yes.
Great list and i agree to many of them but no denjin makai 2 or Oriental Legends 2. That is nuts because these 2 games is the cream ala cream. I guess that not many people tried them.
Great list 😊
Cool we need more of these on PS4 OR PS5!
The golden and unique era!
Undercover cop?
Si es que me encantan todos!!!!
Should have mentioned
Hook
These are the greatest games of all time.
Cadillacs & Dinosaurs is the best of the list for me.
could you do a comparison video of Q*Bert ?
vendetta was my favourite
sadly violence storm is very good in music,design and action.i need more in this vibe:) and metamorph
No way in hell does Night Slashers belong above Metamorphic Forces, Violent Storm and Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder.
Metamorphic Forces should have been an easy top 10.
Exelente video. 👏👏👏🍻

Double dragon is the king 👑
Too bad it was often developed by hired amateurs.
Great list!!!!
No Cowboys of moo mesa?
How can Sengoku 3 not be on this list or Gaia crusaders or Undercover Cops?! Ridiculous
Alien Vs. Predator should be NUMBER ONE on this list!
Muy buenos los juegos habrá sido reñida la votación y quedó fuera Sengoku 3.
En ves de double dragon, o del primer golden axe, yo hubiera puesto a sengoku 3.
Yo pienso que final fight esta sobrevalorado, no es mal juego, pero tampoco me parece un juego extraordinario para que este primero, hay muchos beat em up de los arcades que superan a final fight
1. SOR2
2. TMNT Turtles in Time
Wheres Moonwalker Arcade. Not the megadrive version!! That's top 3 surley?
Sengoku 3
Why was Bad Dudes not listed here?
Neogeo games have Beatem ups
11:17
There you are!
Warriors of Fate?
That should be on the list along with Bucky O'Hare, Sailor Moon, and Dungeon Magic.
Suprised crime fighters wasn't on the list, that was a popular Konami beat em up.
also streets of rage 2 since it got an arcade port
Streets of rage that had a mega tech release.
Shocked the Dungeons and Dragons series isn't ranked at the top. To me, it is essentially the pinnacle of the genre. I can definitely see why Golden Axe is so highly rated though. It has amazing gameplay.
The problem with these games is they’re all the same. When you’ve played one, you’ve played them all
I heard that the D&D beat em ups are pretty different
@@11th_defender51 Dungeon's and Dragons Shadows of Mystara is very complex actually compared to all the games.
Double Dragon is not better than Alien Vs Predator…
22# is Violent Storm best game for Me
How are no IGS games on here?
No sabia q el Altered beast era del genero Beat'em Ups es mi favorito ademas de final fight
Yes, interesting that Altered Beast is the only "flat" beat em up in the list and all the rest are "roaming" into and out of the screen. What's the proper terminology for that? 🤔
Should’ve had street smart on here as well
What place would Combatribes have come it at?
Donde quedo street of rage 2 de sega??
Uy,ahí faltan títulos,el Spiderman de Sega,el DDCREW,algunos de SNK...
Where is Spider-Man arcade game?
no guardians no like

Can some one help me find this game ? Mersi.
So, no Ninja Gaiden (shadow warriors) ? Appart from that, its a decent list
I'm still looking for a game that was very similar to final fight. Still can't find it and I've been looking everywhere. Must be the Mandela effect
Streets of Rage 2? (Sega Genesis/Mega Drive)
You forgot The Death And Return Of Superman.
This list is incomplete!
- alien storm
- warriors of fate
- hook
- king of the monsters
- dragonninja
- ninja combat
I also remember these..
King of monsters is not a beat em up, its a fighting genre
Armored warriors and bucky o hare
Why isn’t Streets of Rage 2 on this list
buen video donde se pueden descargar ??
Turtles in time 🐐
Streets of Rage 2 / Bare Knuckles 2 is the best beat em up ever made. Streets of Rage 4 is the second best beat em up ever made.
ARCADE ARCADE ARCADE
RUclips bingo time.
Bloke ranting about Streets of Rage 2 under an ARCADE beat 'em up list spotted.
