You're all forgetting Konami's Simpsons game as well, which was built off the same engine as TMNT and was surprisingly just as playable.

I was reading through with all this Turtles, Streets talk and couldn't believe there was no mention of the Simpsons, brilliant game, wasted many 20ps on that back in the day!

I still state that Streets of Rage, Final Fight etc are side scrolling beat em ups therefore can't be qualified as traditional beat em up's

Fully, utterly, completely backed.

All that video was missing was the unforgettable banging sound when Leo slammed the foot soldier left and right.

I still state that Streets of Rage, Final Fight etc are side scrolling beat em ups therefore can't be qualified as traditional beat em up's, but to be honest I was HOPING this was news of a Streets of Rage game, but since all next gen remakes of classic games stink *with a few exceptions like bionic commando: rearmed*, im kind of glad it isn't.

Eh? How are they not beat 'em ups?

Oh, and Violent Storm developed by Konami is the greatest arcade (and beat 'em up) game ever made.

Turtles in Time is one awesome game though, same goes for 90% of Konami and Capcom's beat 'em ups in general. Can't wait.

Aaaah, because Wiki said it, it's true! haha

Ask 100 gamers to name a beat 'em up, 90% would probably come back to you with a game in the vein of Street Fighter, Rival Schools, King Of Fighters etc

Those are fighting games, you idiot.

[Stu]

Tell the other 10% that.

[Carnivol]

Don't kill eachother now! Damn youngsters! Those 100 people you ask probably wouldn't know a beat 'em up if they saw one! 'Cause there haven't been many beat 'em ups lately. God Hand is the last "new" one I can remember, at least.

(Okay, so there was that Guilty Gear 3D game thingy too, I guess. And some might argue that those Sengoku Basara/Dynasty Warriors thingies are classified as beat 'em ups too, though... thanks to their fanbase I bet it's more like beat 'em offs)
