What are your top 3 all time side scroller best em up games/franchises? Also, has anyone made any new ones in a retro style?
-
Streets of Rage (spent many hours playing that on my Genesis)
-
Double Dragon
-
X-Men 2 for PC (obscure choice but it was cool because they had different X-men to pick).
Honorable mention to the game within a game from the Warriors PS2 video game
Guardian Heroes on the Saturn, possibly the last great beat em up on home systems before everything went 3D and the genre died.
D&D Tower of Doom and Shadow Over Mystra, made by Capcom around the same time and possibly the last hurrah for this genre in arcades.
Double Dragon series, ported to near everything, I mostly played one on PC, three on NES, and the crossover with Battle Toads on Genesis.
