These are nice... Honorable mention : GODHAND. It's underrated, but a good games

You missed Renegade, one of, if not the single most, important games in the genre's history. I also would have made room for Bad Dudes and Guardian Heroes.

Beat Down Fists of Vengeance , Urban Reign, The Bouncer, Spike Out Battle Street, Fighting Beauty Wulong ( and even Ikkitousen Shining Dragon set higher standards for the genre no other has reached. Everything else are cheap effort cash grabs compared to PS2/Xbox best 3D beatemups. Yakuza series does have graphics but its too narrative focused (meanwhile Urban Reign has alternative free mode), and generally has next to no character selection nor alternative modes (and they dont allow girls like Haruka to fight. meanwhile SOR4 allows Cherry) plus Yakuza series been moving to turn based RPG so its further away fom beatemup genre now and they still have no versus nor co-op modes, and premium adventure is no where near as diverse with playable characters like Yakuza 5. so there hasnt really been top quality beatemups since PS2.

Cool video, really interesting to see how beat'em ups have evolved, i don't think i saw Castle Crashers though; i thought that was a important one as it's influenced alot of beat'em ups since it was made. Didn't realise there were so many 3D beat'em ups similar to mine, will have to go through and look at them more in depth and see what they did well and did badly, seems like my games like a combination of the 2000 Jackie Chan: Stuntmaster and the 2010 Splatterhouse, hopefully my game can appear in one of these videos one day🤞

Beat Down Fists of Vengeance , Urban Reign, The Bouncer , Ikki Tousen Shining Dragon, SpikeOut: Battle Street, it feels like everything after them is backwards. Even Sifu can't rival PS2's/Xbox best beatemups in graphics, tech nor depth. The Beatemup genre continues to look like a joke these days compared to fighting genre (Tekken,VF, DOA), RPG genre (TES), shooter genre (COD, Metroid Prime, PUBG), even Adventure genre (Tomb Raider)! modern beatemup devs are aiming too low with their beatemup standards. Sticking to the early 90's is not the way to cultivate the genre. Look how dumb the upcoming Double Dragon is gonna look. it makes even Double Dragon Advance or Neon and Cobra Kai look next gen. And I still say EA should have designed and marketed Mirror's Edge series as a first person beatemup. parkour sure didnt keep it relevant. ME Catalyst during battles feels like a next gen beatemup should feel. there should be advanced and more forward thinking beatemups. Saints Row series and Cyberpunk 2077 should of had a beatemup mode/cheat where everyone in the city fights barehanded. Beatemup genre is still one of the most cheaply made genres.

The lack of Die Hard Arcade & Guardian Heroes kinda broke my heart a bit.

I personally prefer the beat em ups of old with the 16-bit bit style. Fight'n Rage is a nice throwback with some modern enhancements such as the lighting. By the way, you missed Super Double Dragon, Knights of The Round, King of Dragons, Captain Commando. Those are classics.

There's a cool number of games here and to some degree you can see how things went back to where they started when the retro games scene was invented. But if you're going to talk about beat em ups and the evolution of them, then you have include the GOD of War series before Ragnarok.

While neither was either influential enough nor centered enough in the genre to really be worth including in "THE evolution of beat-em-ups", two more entries should you ever want to make a more expanded version of this video: * One Finger Death Punch (and its sequel, though I've played both and the original feels a purer expression of its concept): This is a distillation of the basic beat-em-up formula down to playing with no joystick and just two buttons, but as simple as the basic gameplay boils down to, it manages to progressively elaborate on this both cosmetically and tactically. * Way of the Passive Fist: This is a very classic beat-em-up... only almost entirely removing your ability to in fact "beat them up". Your fighting (bosses excepted, and even there for the most part) consists of evading and parrying both individual attacks and enemy clusters with the goal of exhausting their ability to continue fighting you without really harming them. This does have one benefit over the classic approach: in a classic beat-em-up, your goal is entirely to get your offensive timing down to the degree that not only do you not care what the current enemies are, if you're good enough you'll never even see most of their animations. Here you end up learning everything all the enemies in the game have because your goal requires seeing and learning to handle all of it. Despite a very different and slower-paced feel and a lack of any real influence on the genre, I've played it enough to make it a permanent entry on my "games to replay every now and then" list.

Wooow, hay un montón de juegos beat'em-up allá afuera, muchos más de los que yo conocía. Me quedó la siguiente duda: ¿Por qué si pusiste el Ásterix más reciente no pusiste el Ásterix & Obelisk que sacó Konami alrededor de 1990?

that why i said video games need there own television network and tv channel. 60 years of video games. so many legendary icon games and gaming storylines that need to be broadcast. i feel sorry for the casual gamers nad this tik tok generation who only got into gaming to look cool or the money or to go viral. 1988 to 1998. was the best gaming of my life. it was litterly like playing interactive cartoons and movies. and the feeling you get at beating those games and earning the ending storylines. the feeling is something you cannot get by movies and tv shows.

@fivefive9514

TV network would do nothing for videogames outside of marketing. that money is better spent making videogames than making things people just watch. people can get media and info about these series from youtube anyways. videogames already have a bad habit of copying books and tv shows/movies to the point that they at times leave out player choice from the equation and dont even let players choose/create their own preferred character (compare games like FFXVI with The Elder Scrolls series). TV shows, movies, books are anti-choice and anti-freedom . they are just built to program viewers to allow the medium to think for them, that conditions simpletons to thinking games that are not character driven are "empty" cause they are used to expecting writers to think for them and supply them with thoughts and purpose and block player imagination and creativity, most aren't creative thinkers. many prefer interactive movies instead of games where they can shapte their own identity and goals. so TV shows showcasing storylines of games really isnt helping people think for themselves., and when it comes to beatemups, story gets in the way of the gameplay, amogn other things, and the more story driven a game is, the less freedom, flexibility, options and potential there are.

Nice list but you left out an important many games from CPS1, CPS2, Konami, Namco, Neo-Geo like captain commando, punisher, cadillacs and dino,, x-men, mk:shaolin etc. Newer games like Street of Rage 4, new battletoads etc.

Shadow Dancer, Final fight

I find it interesting that the genre was filled with great tunes, until we see our first 3D ones, then suddenly they have... ambient noise???? Very odd choice. You would think CD audio would have meant they would license the kind of club music the chiptunes were trying to emulate. Late 90s were a weird time for the genre. Then we get out of the late 90s, our first game of 2000, a beautiful full orchestra score by John Williams! Haha

101 side-scrollers, all copies of copies from one another, but there was never anything like Fighting Force 1 ever again. I can 't understand why they don't make a high-graphics 3D beat-em-up like that, ragdoll physics, realistic destruction. And I'm not talking about open world with car driving like Sleeping Dogs, and the Yakuza games have too many cutscenes which is a complete buzzkill to the feeling one craves to just dive into a high action beat-em-up with tons of fighting non-stop. Sifu is so close but the aging system ruins it for me.
