Favorite Arcade Beat em' ups (Brawlers)
 

What are your favorite Arcade Beat em' Up games?

I enjoy quite a few of them. I hear people saying good things about X-Men the Arcade game, but I haven't played it. Hopefully it will come to XBox Live.

My all time favorite brawler would have to be TMNT 1989 Arcade. I just can't get enough of (robot) ninja that explode upon death.:D Alien Vs Predator is also really good (the game was made years before the AVP movies came out.)

I hope my poll has good choices.

Warriors of Fate is really cool.

I voted for the Streets of Rage series since it is my favorite of the ones in the poll, although I haven't technically played any of the SoR games in an arcade (the only times any of them appeared in arcades were on the Genesis-based arcade cabinets, Mega-Tech and Mega Play). I'm also a big fan of Capcom's arcade beat 'em ups such as The Punisher, Final Fight, and Captain Commando.

Hm.

Final Fight,
Streets of Rage,
TMNT IV : Turtles In Time,
Brawl Brothers,
X-Men : The Arcade Game
The Simpsons : The Arcade Game,

TMNT. Turtles in Time is better, but the original arcade game is where the memories are. Besides, I've got the actual arcade board in my closet.

If the D&D Arcade games count, I'd definitely pick those.

Comix Zone, but I guess that doesn't count as arcade. It was still badass, though.

I'd say arcade is less of a platform and more of a genre by this point, so Comix Zone should count as much as Streets of Rage.

I'm glad you mentioned Comix Zone, Ai. I will have to play that again sometime. It was truly awesome.

Today I played the first level of TMNT: Turtles in Time. I had played the game before, and I still like TMNT 1989 arcade better. The turtles in Turtles in Time seem to move too fast. I guess I'm just not used to it.

I wish there was a way to set the number of Foot ninjas per stage in the XBox Live Arcade port of Turtles 1989 Arcade. I would saturate every level with enemies, it would be sort of a survival mode version. Although, I would probably get my 'shell' handed to me.:D

Turtles in Time is the #1 beat-em-up of all time...just ask Screwattack. :P
