i can not put into words the amount of nostalgia i felt watching this. i could almost smell the pizza and feel the sticky, grimy floors from my local arcade while watching this. my dad would take my brother and me every so often to the arcade. back then, or at least where i lived, you could give your kids a handful of quarters and trust that your kids were pretty safe and stay out of trouble. thats what he did. he loved playing the older games, like galaga and pac-man, and my brother and i would go off and play ours. my favorites were the punisher/nick fury and wwf wrestlefest. i could probably buy a house with the amount of quarters i spent playing those two games. i have two kids now and wish there was an arcade to take them to. i really do miss that. sorry for the long post. this video hit me right in the feels.
@@ResidentNotEvil5 they brought us Zaxxon. Think that's the name. Alex kidd. That jet fighting game. Outrun. Golden Axe etc. Really big big big list I'll Be here all day.🤣
Too bad there was no Saturn and PS1 port of AvP. Also, Linn Kurosawa was originally going to be playable in Capcom vs. SNK 2, but they no longer have the rights to Linn so they replaced her with Maki Genryusai from Final Fight 2 instead.
Super double dragon is my personal favorite and Till this day is one of the most underrated and less talked about beat em ups of all time, hopefully it’s on this list
@@KenMasters. i know I believe the game was rushed into production that’s why there is no visible ending after you beat the game or after you beat bosses at the end of levels that was common in games back then
@@larryconnerjr1835 Yes, *Double Dragon Advance* had sort of the same problem due to memory space limitations in the hardware. Their biggest screw-up is that they could've made a *Double Dragon Advance II,* but ATLUS decided to shoehorn all the stages and enemies from *Double Dragon II: The Revenge* into the first and final GBA game.
This generation can have their games. Growing up in the 80s and 90s was something else going to the Arcade and seeing all these games ready to be played. Putting down your quarter for your next turn in Street Fighter 2.
Great list, For your next video, you may consider this arcade games: Gaia Crusaders Knights of Valour Metamorphic Force Ninja Baseball Bat Man The Gladiator - Road Of The Sword The King of Dragons
Always like how when you get out You come back and everybody falls on their butts even the boss.😂 But don't hurt them tho. Never got that? Never underestimate the power of justice!!!🤣
Ratking wasn't in the Arcade version of Turtles in Time, he was added when they ported the game to the SNES and expanded it with more levels and bosses
Was he really talking about the Bucky O'Hare NES game? Because it sure didn't sound like what was being shown on screen. And he was also talking about a Sailor Moon JRPG instead of what was shown on screen there too.
I remember playing a football and a hockey game from the devs of River City Ransom where you could beat up other players and every team had its own super powers. I'd say I had a lot more fun with these than with any FIFA or NHL game in the '90s.
This is an amazing list and I love most of these games. The one game I never enjoyed was Double Dragon, I get why it's on the list but just never understood the infatuation. This genre is "trapped in the arcade" more than about any other genre. A few are console exclusives but so many you always only play in arcade or now on MAME.
I remember Hook/(Peter Pan) game was awesome as a heat em up game. I can't remember the name but there was an arcade game where you beat up guys whilst skating the city.
You're showing the arcade beat'em up of bucky o hare and describing the megaman clone nes bucky ohare, They're completely different games. The nes one is like megaman it's a platformer and the arcade one is like every other beat'em up.
Cool games. At a recent steam festival, I played the demo of another potentially good game - Arnold Bounty Hunter. It looks more like the first Battletoads - there are not only fights, but also various adventures with platforming, hydrocycles. It also looks interesting. I liked the demo.
39:07 Manhattan shrinking? More like warbling into non-existence, along with the Statue of Liberty on Ellis Island, that has decided to move into view of the camera
to be honest i only came here to see if river city ransom was in the list. i'm pleased to see that it is. it's possibly the most fun game i've ever played.
Hi. Can u help me. I remember one classic Beat'Em Ups game like bad dudes, even the bosses like those on bad dudes. 16 levels, every level has 20 enemies. Every 4-th level ends with boss. I remember 8-th level boss was fire-breathing fat dude, and the final boss was native american with boomerangs. Name of the game?
Is the voice-over an AI generated one??? It was very off-putting and I couldn't carry on watching after Final Fight. BTW, I don't know what version of Streets of Rage 2 you've got there, but it’s certainly not the Megadrive one! The Megadrive version did not have the capability for four players at once ... and Axel Stone has never had purple hair or wore pink clothing!!
The voice over is either AI generated, or they used a text-to-speech program. Either way I seriously doubt it's read by an actual person. Surely nobody would pronounce "Wii" as "Why"! 🤣🤣
1 of my best hour in my life - thank for the video A great explanation of the games . 2- in my life I saw an arcade Game but I never played … I could not find the name I have only memories please help this poor soul find the heavens !!!! Memories : on insert coin display I remember an old man Chinese wear a suit and talks on the phone . Graphics like polygons, also I remember the héroe was climbing 2 ladders and show the options “ left or right “ to avoid the damage of the bricks 🧱, and finally I am not sure but I remember the fight with like 3 tigers with fireman clothes during the fight a car trough on the back throwing water and you must hold on the ground !!! I thinks is similar with fighting force game but this is different, I know this game exist !! Was no a dream is real … please is one game I want to play in my life .i need the name of this game ,
People we see in beat em ups: Your regular thugs(always easy to Take out) Fat bald guy's who blow fire. The chicks(carry whips electric) Thug captain Sub boss The regular bossess Ninjas Monsters The weapon guy's The firing squad(rare) They come on screen blasting You sometimes run away. Etc They're soooooooo many I'll Be here all day explaining.😂
These are 'classic games', not 'retro games'. 'Retro' is defined as something new that is made to look/sound like something from a bygone era. So TMNT: Shredder's Revenge is a good example of a 'retro game'.
You are being pedantic. In the context of gaming “retro” is widely used to cover both new imitation of old games/styles, and also the revival and appreciation of them. So much so that new retro games are often given the qualifier “retro style” so as to differentiate them from actual old games.

both CAPCOM and KONAMI were the kings of arcade beat em ups
Back when they ment something and
We loved them.
Technōs Japan also could’ve been.
You forgot sega they have plenty of arcade games

Immediately opening up the video with Xmen 1992 was a very intelligent play. BECAUSE THAT GAME WAS AMAZING!!!!!! I'm all in to watch now. Continue
AvP is one of the best arcade games of all time. Great list.
Too bad there was no Saturn and PS1 port of AvP.

If only that game weren’t incomplete.
It proves that Double Dragon was meant to be on the SNES and not on the NES.

20:04 - The Punisher (I can tell just by looking) is a game taken from the same engine that powered Cadillacs and Dinossaurs, my favorite beat em up!
Great list,
For your next video, you may consider this arcade games:
Gaia Crusaders
Knights of Valour
Metamorphic Force
Ninja Baseball Bat Man
The Gladiator - Road Of The Sword
The King of Dragons
The narrator sounds like 50% Arnold Schwarzenegger and 50% Count Dracula. 🏋️️🧛♂️
I don't have... "qvarters" *D
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And you sound 100% American lol
Definitely sounds like 2 different people talking
Nice 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good selection.
I have seen all of the games before as a Brawler/Beat 'em up fan but your presentation & commentary were top notch.
Always like how when you get out
You come back and everybody falls
on their butts even the boss.😂
But don't hurt them tho.
Never got that?
Never underestimate the power of
justice!!!🤣
I think Streets of Rage 2 is the best 2D Beat 'em up of all time. It's works so well on every level and the soundtrack is heavenly.
Don't say think. Say I know SOR2 is the greatest! Cause it's fact. Nothing touches it.
Then came 3.😂
Yes it is the very best ❤
Streets of Rage Remake is even better.
It's up there with the best deffo. But the best? Nah
You forgot 2 crude dudes.
Before I start. Up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right B,A start
Man watching this brings me back. Keep up the good work
Batman returns for Super Nintendo is my all time favorite Batman game on any console glad it made the list
Remember when Marlon Wayans was almost casted as Robin/Drake Winston in the movie?
I wish he were a player-2 option in the Batman Returns game.
Thanks bro, i finally found my childhood game (Cadillacs & Dinosaurs) ❤
The Streets of Rage series is clearly my favorite, especially Streets of Rage 2.
Yes sold millions of consoles because of street of rage 1,2 and even beat final fight series
great list, a lot of gems
Ratking wasn't in the Arcade version of Turtles in Time, he was added when they ported the game to the SNES and expanded it with more levels and bosses
This hits my inner child hard, i love it so many memories
Metamorphic Forces is my pick for most underrated. Plays so fast and it's what an Altered Beast 2 coulda been.
And the music is superb.
Was he really talking about the Bucky O'Hare NES game? Because it sure didn't sound like what was being shown on screen. And he was also talking about a Sailor Moon JRPG instead of what was shown on screen there too.
Awesome channel
we need a time stamp..
I expected to see Tough Turf featured in the list. Cheers! 🥂
Didn't know about Comix Zone. Looks great. I should give it a try.
I remember playing a football and a hockey game from the devs of River City Ransom where you could beat up other players and every team had its own super powers. I'd say I had a lot more fun with these than with any FIFA or NHL game in the '90s.
Im convinced no one on earth has played Sonic Blast Man 2 but me and my little brothers lol
Can you do one about Shoot em' ups?

Try ultimate double dragon its fan made beats of rage but great
Wish AvP was ported too the ps2 or saturn back in the day. Or even Xbox 360 or ps3
I remember Hook/(Peter Pan) game was awesome as a heat em up game.
I can't remember the name but there was an arcade game where you beat up guys whilst skating the city.
AvP now that’s a really good arcade game that I used a lot of quarters
My place to go to for arcades? Chuck E Cheese
You're showing the arcade beat'em up of bucky o hare and describing the megaman clone nes bucky ohare, They're completely different games. The nes one is like megaman it's a platformer and the arcade one is like every other beat'em up.
Crisis Beat for the ps1 is another one you have to check guys.
Capcom Alien vs Predator, Armored Wariiors and The Punisher. Then comes the rest.
Cadillacs and dinosaurs on top of your list, the big father ;-)
And Captain comando on the bottom
Double dragon was my favorite games 😊
Love me a good Beat'em Up.
Cool games. At a recent steam festival, I played the demo of another potentially good game - Arnold Bounty Hunter. It looks more like the first Battletoads - there are not only fights, but also various adventures with platforming, hydrocycles. It also looks interesting. I liked the demo.
Castle of Dragon is the best beat em up game ever made on arcade.
39:07 Manhattan shrinking? More like warbling into non-existence, along with the Statue of Liberty on Ellis Island, that has decided to move into view of the camera
TMNT turtles in time should be in the top ten hands down
I'm just surprised that Maximum Carnage was not on the list, it's still a decent game, difficult but not impossible...
what this list told us is that western devs cant do action games
Guardians: denjin makai 2 is an amazing beat em up.
to be honest i only came here to see if river city ransom was in the list.
i'm pleased to see that it is.
it's possibly the most fun game i've ever played.
Three Dirty Dwarves on Saturn and Adventure of batman and Robin on Genesis ❤
I never realized you could fight Triple H in B Rap Boys
How did Brawl Brothers not make this list.
Turtles in time never came to the mega drive tho, it was the hyper stone heist
he said that if you listened
The sega genesis version was inferior to the snes turtles in time game

modern games cant compete with old games
That is the siliest thing I've ever heard 😂. And I was around when Atari came out so I seen all the generations, literally
But old games can’t compete with emulators.
Crime Fighters and Combatribes should be in this video.
crime fighters needs to be here... love that one.
another gem in my country is denjin makai II or guardians , it was have a long queue to play, and hook (peterpan)
We got 2 more yrs before Captain Commando must save the day
That one game Battle Circuit, should’ve been Captain Commando 2.
Is the voice-over an AI generated one??? It was very off-putting and I couldn't carry on watching after Final Fight.

Umm wtf is goin on at 46 sec is that sor 2 4players i need answers is it beats of rage
That BIMMY & Jimmy Lee
I LOVED Altered Beast but technically not a beat em up game especially compared to the games on the list
Metamorphic Force must to add in Chapters - 36:54
Hook arcade is one the best...
There is 1 missing called “Legends”
Violent storm , mistic warriors !!!!!
People we see in beat em ups:
Your regular thugs(always easy to
Take out)
Fat bald guy's who blow fire.
The chicks(carry whips electric)
Thug captain
Sub boss
The regular bossess
Ninjas
Monsters
The weapon guy's
The firing squad(rare)
They come on screen blasting
You sometimes run away.
Etc

Be here all day explaining.😂
after showing the x-men footage at the start i expected "welcome to DIE"
Faltou o Vigilante,Dragon ninja,combatribles,violent storm,DD crew e Double Dragon advanced(O Double Dragon definitivo*)
Beat em ups were always the same
Premise.
Walk around beating up or killing
Bad guys defeat sub and regular
Bosses save somebody.
Please consider adding timestamps.
My middle brother love tmnt games
No Stone Protectors?
Could of added more if you didn't stack different titles from the same franchise.
I thought Hades was the god of the underworld? (Referring to Altered Beast)
gang wars is missing in this list
Mighty Final Fight
Where is Guardian hero's?
Sem contar que tem muito jogo citado aí que não vale apena!

it's pronounced like amor, but with an n before it.
im sorry, samuel jackson does not let me know nick fury was actually white

Cool with alot of this list. But i hope they arent in numerical order. Thats something i beg to differ..

Why are most of these not avilable on the switch online at all. Really capcom makes beaten up bumble only put 8 games on it.
