Could you help me with that pixel game of the ninjas were one is gigantic, and specially there is this lady that has metal arms like doc Octopus, she wears white it is a post apocalyptic world but if it is not exactly beat em up it may be a brawler.
@@dangamer8884thats because they probably all get paid by the companies or RUclips has a partnership with the game companies like the tv channel’s and online streaming services & halleewood & probably even the government because I think they all work together because they probably all control shares in all media but I don’t know because it’s probably top secret like area 1 too 50 or higher and you the only person who has total control is probably trump when he becomes president because they don’t call the president the most powerful man for no reason
I'm gald we don't have to find an arcade to play these. 20 years ago, you had to go run around and hope you were lucky to find something. Glad we can control our content now.
I bought mother russia bleeds the same week it was released on the ps4, i played till the end with my brother and we get both endings, now i still play it to this day time to time, i really love your videos and when you review this game that made me really happy, i send you a big hug from México
I want to create my own beat em up game: a mix-up of Streets of Rage and Suicide Squad. This game will be called “Black Street Warriors”. Plot: a criminal syndicate became a major threat to the world, so the government decides to create a special squad, called “Black Street Warriors” and directed by a former general Liam Burst. He selected numerous criminals and tested them, killing most of candidates. The only three survivors were recruited - they are the main playable characters. - Queen Coco - a dominatrix who once had an empire of slaves. She’s based on many enemy characters from other beat ‘em up games (Poison from Final Fight, Nora from Streets of Rage, etc), so she’s some kind of a poster girl. She uses her whip as her main weapon. - Midori Shiota - a Japanese school girl, maniac obsessed with human nails. She always takes her knife with her. - Poltergeist - a young boy in hood with long sleeves and a mask. He serves out his mother’s life sentence, as she died in childbirth. During the battle he uses various grenades and hidden weapons. Although this game has side-scrolling camera, the area is free to explore. There are no “levels” - this game is the entire level with many ways and paths. However, this game has a time limit - after time runs out, the leader of syndicate will disappear, which means instant game over. There are two secret characters: - Liam Burst - former general, creator and leader of “Black Street Warriors”. He is based on Heidern from King of Fighters. - Gabe - a man, who joins the squad to help them stop the syndicate. The true ending is available only after unlocking all characters. Only one, secret path leads to the true ending and battle with the main antagonist. After the battle boss will fall from his window. Black Street Warriors and Burst leave the scene, but Gabe stays. It’s revealed that he’s actually the Boss’s son Gabriel, who joined Black Street Warriors only to overthrow his own father and take his crime empire for himself, preparing for the sequel.
I bought 15 beat em up's during the steam sale and they're all on this list except Gaiden, but that story about the developer makes me want to play it.
on the subject of mother Russia bleeds I personally played that game from beginning to end and it was a pretty deep beat em up with a final boss that was both a narratively impactful fight and the only time that you could change the ending of the game. not only that but the final boss had a bit of undertale vibe fight as "addiction" was both the hardest thing to beat in MRB but also you have to self handicap yourself to not use the "healing" items as it was what created "addiction". mother russia bleed is more than just 6.5 out 10 everyone gave it as it's story deep and plays like butter.
Ever since refunding Mighty Morbin Power Rangers: Rita's Revenge, I've been enjoying many of these beat 'em up revival games, as well as quite a few of the classics. At the top of my list lately has been Final Vendetta, which sadly took a back burner to TMNT: Shredder's Revenge for me until recently. Final Vendetta is the perfect length to complete in a sitting, has a wonderfully upbeat soundtrack that includes Utah Saints (from the 1995 Mortal Kombat film soundtrack!) and feels like a great mix of the mechanics of Final Fight 2 and the attitude of Streets of Rage 2. Everything about it just feels good to play.
Only four comments? What’s going on? And why the dislike for the Power Rangers game? I thought it was mad fun. :D Also such a long video really needs timestamps.
Fight'n Rage is an excellent game. I've owned it on both Steam and Switch. I also cannot beat the final boss by myself, I need at least one other player to help. It deserves a sequel, since they hint at someone else being in power behind the Boss. Anybody on here play the Kaiju beat em up, Dawn of the Monsters?
@1:25 tooooooooooooooooo Bad the game Dev dude didn't make sprites like for Fight N Rage. Instead He loved chibi style so he made the game like that but at least the game plays well and has great music-extras.
Haven't watched this channel in years (genuinely forgot it existed) & all i can is wow you've been posting almost exclusively of beat 'em up & fighting game stuff while i was gone which is shocking to me as you used to cover so much more than just those 2 topics. the former & current sentence are not meant to bash your content but the sheer volume of content you've posted on these 2 topics is insane & i think you should at least give the genres a break (at least for a few months).
It's kinda funny we mention all these brawlers, yet hardly none of them are in the arcades. Really we should talk about how home gamers stole the Amusement industry's lunch for the past 20 years.
The way Streets Of Rage 4 would have most likely gotten a perfect score from IGN...if the main characters were all drag queens decked out in rainbow colors and all of the enemies were Trump supporters, big diesel guzzling mud covered trucks with confederate flags on them, and every other stereotype about the other political side the woke invents that IGN seems to despise. Final Boss or course was either Trump himself or at this point preferably Elon Musk. Had that been what the developers would have done, most likely IGN would have praised SOR4 to the highest heavens. Beat 'em up fans and REAL gamers (not woke journalists) don't give a damn about that, we just want a beat 'em up that is a blast to play, end of story, SOR4 totally delivers on that, it is so much fun. Had I been a little kid in 2024, these new beat 'em ups would have BLOWN MY MIND because it is my all time favorite genre, I grew up playing Double Dragon, original Turtles arcade game, Final Fight, X-men, etc. I hope someone makes an Alien Vs. Predator 2 or a new X-men arcade game! We got Shredders Revenge and it's an amazing game, I hope someone makes those others as well.
It's sad that your decent research and presentation on the topics are occasionally overshadowed by sexist and ignorant comments. I hope you can do better.
I dont hate Streets of Rage 4 but the fact that Sega couldnt even make it themselves and had to outsource it to a foreign company rubs me the wrong way and shows how lazy and pathetic they are and they just dont care anymore about their IPs. They are doing the same thing with Shinobi. Sega themselves just doesnt want to make 2d games.

hater! MMPR rita rewind is the best!
Finally someone mentions Mother Russia Bleeds. So slept on.
Every youtuber who does videos like this recommends Russia Bleeds. These youtubers are all the same.

At first I'm like why is this video 2hrs long, then I was like, I can't turn away lol😅
You should review Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All 2. A 2D beat’em up made as a love letter to Konami’s arcade classic.
I was about to buy it and your bid popped up
I do wish they release cadillacs and dinosaurs i loved playing that arcade game
This is like Kotaku levels of doubling down.
Have you played the Slaps & Beans games?
99 Vidas, and the 2D gekido are also really good
Only four comments? What’s going on?
And why the dislike for the Power Rangers game?

Anybody on here play the Kaiju beat em up, Dawn of the Monsters?
Same versions I have!
Big Daddy Tophat, have to second that you should check out Dawn of the Monsters!@TopHatGamingManChannel
Great video, one of my favorite genres. Loved the comment about TLOU2 basic bitch game, i play videogames since 96, those movie games arent for me
I like the mmpr game.
MMPR on the SNES, MMPR Mega Battle, and the fan made game MMPR Beats of Power are all better games than Rita's Revenge.
Please add chapters to this vid
@1:25 tooooooooooooooooo Bad the game Dev dude didn't make sprites like for Fight N Rage. Instead He loved chibi style so he made the game like that but at least the game plays well and has great music-extras.
Two and a half hour video? Are you serious? Ain't nobody got time for that!

I wonder if they will try to cash grab another battletoads game now that every time ninja turtles and Power Rangers
Really? No Jitsu Squad, Vengeance hunters, midnight fight express, final vendetta?
What game is this please 2:11?
Metamorphic Force from Konami.
@ thanks my friend!! It looks awesome!😎
@@johnmecca9008No problem! One of the best in the genre in my opinion.
Ill just stick to open bar
