Good Genesis Beat-em-ups? (Other than SoR series)

Post by marlowe221 »

Hi all,

I was wondering what the best beat-em-ups for the Genesis are outside of the Streets of Rage series.

The Genesis seems to have quite a lot - but which ones are worth my time, money, and potential repetitive motion injuries?

Thanks!
Have: Sega Genesis, SNES, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Atari 800XL, PC, N3DS XL, Wii U, GBA, Xbox One, Switch

Golden Axe III is where it's at. Only released in Japan on the original console for some bizarre reason, but you can play it on Genesis compilations via PS3/X360.

Few other other unmentioneds:
X-Men Mutant Apocalypse
Revenge of Shinobi
Shinobi: Shadow Dancer
Shinobi 3

Awesome game! Quite possibly my favorite beat-em up of all time. But it's a SNES exclusive, not on Genesis. Perhaps you meant X-Men 2: The Clone Wars? Which is also a fantastic beat-em up.
