It would be great if Capcom could sort out the necessary licencing to have a Capcom Beat 'em up Bundle Volume 2 with Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, Alien vs Predator and The Punisher included!

C&D and AVP are imposdible due to copyrights being in licensing limbo. The Punisher is impossible because Disney owns him now and they demand outrageous prices for their licenses (especially now when they have financial trouble). Would be great, yes, but it will not happen.

@@MidBoss666 That's just not true at all. The Punisher is already on a 3-in-1 Arcade 1Up machine alongside Marvel Super Heroes and X-Men: Children of the Atom, and AVP is on the Capcom Home Arcade stick they released in 2019. Capcom reps have expressed that they still have a working relationship with Marvel (so technically Disney). Licencing isn't an issue.

Hate the facts Marvel didn't give Capcom the license to add *Daredevil* as player 2 in the Punisher game .. can tell nick fury dose some kind of whip attack... Wonder what Marvel reasoning for that ?
Awesome list. I haven’t heard of a few of these, so I’ve got some new games to try out now.
Punisher>>>Final Fight. The latter was one of the first, but Punisher has MANY more weapons.
Beat'em ups are my favourite genre in gaming! Thanks for this!
I was born in 1980 and from what I saw growing up in the arcades is that 1. TMNT, 2. TMNT Turtles in Time, 3. X-Men, 4. Simpsons, and 5. Alien vs Predator were the most popular arcade games that everybody played in the 80's and 90's at arcades everywhere. Also Bucky O'Hare should've been on the list for sure.

Amazing list ^^ A bit sad that Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun/Renegade didn't make it, but really happy that Violent Storm did ^^
Ah, some good childhood memories in this vid, especially Vendetta - nice to know I'm not the only one who loved that game!
Pretty complete list. The ones I come back to most often cause of their entertaining gameplay, unique mechanics and reasonable length (lets face it, it's very repetitive genre) are: - The Punisher - Vendetta - Night Slashers - Battle Circuit - Violent Storm (honorable mention)

Rock solid list. Good to see violet storm in aswell. Mega cheezy game. Love it. Personally I'd squeeze Asterix and 64th street somwhere in the top 10.
Great list!!!!
could you do a comparison video of Q*Bert ?
I never heard of half of these, and as soon as I didn't see Final Fight anywhere else, I knew that it would be the top game.

ah yes nostalgia side scrolling beat em up games are really good to play, i remember playing a lot of side scrolling beat em up games a lot as a kid

I would love to see all these games on the iircade. I think this is a perfect list. Just not in the proper order for me, but all are classics.
Missing Data East "Bad Dudes". One of my favs. Great list anyway .
Great list...yep, final fight is the king!
Metamorphic Forces omg i forgot the name of this classic , ty vm
those games are legendary! for me better than modern ones with no aim:)
1. Final Fight 2. Turtles in Time 3. X-Men 4. Turtles The Arcade Game 5. The Simpsons
Grandisimos juegos todos ellos. Buen gusto tienen los que han votado si señor. Echo de menos eso si al Mutation Nation.
Los betaem ups de neogeo como la trilogía Sengoku, Mutant Nation y otros títulos
Violent storm is my favorite!

There you are!
These games should be in 2 differents lists, the gameplay and perspective are so different : Double dragon, Golden axe, Final fight etc ... =brawlers Altered Beast, Bad Dudes vs Dragoninja, Magic Sword, Eightman etc = Plafformer beat them up
Nice list, I'm missing Zeroteam and why is Altered Beast here? Feels somehow off and I don't get why Double Dragon is so high on the list, it's iconic, that's for sure, but is it really that good...?
Its funny that one of my favorite beat' em ups is Streets of Rage 2 and it didn't come out in arcades. Unless you count the Mega Tech arcade system, I never actually seen one in person. Golden Axe The Revenge of Death Adder is a hidden gem, it should of came out on the Sega Saturn back in the day!
I wouldn't have expected Renegade to make it (It may have started the genre as it is shown (mostly) here, but it was pretty much a first draft of things compared to even Double Dragon, its immediate successor), but Warriors of Fate not reaching the top 25 was surprising. Perhaps it was a localization issue to caused some people forget or downrate it. (References to it essentially being a predecessor to Koei's Dynasty Warriors series were removed in localization.)

buen video donde se pueden descargar ??
Capcom & Konami’s greatest hits… also, Sega & Data East participation trophies
These are the greatest games of all time.
Searching for an old arcade game (Beat'em ups), where you can choose 1 character ( 2 same ninja guys red and blue, girl and green muscle old man), first boss where 2 twins with halebarda, second on the piers who have a skill that send to you an crow, 3 some phantom or who can disappear. Can some one help me find this game ? Mersi.
Muy buenos los juegos habrá sido reñida la votación y quedó fuera Sengoku 3.
No way in hell does Night Slashers belong above Metamorphic Forces, Violent Storm and Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder. Metamorphic Forces should have been an easy top 10.

Neogeo games have Beatem ups
En ves de double dragon, o del primer golden axe, yo hubiera puesto a sengoku 3. Yo pienso que final fight esta sobrevalorado, no es mal juego, pero tampoco me parece un juego extraordinario para que este primero, hay muchos beat em up de los arcades que superan a final fight
Suprised crime fighters wasn't on the list, that was a popular Konami beat em up.

Final Fight es el mejor de todos. Para los que dicen que está sobrevalorado o que hay mejores, primero aprendan a jugarlo como se debe, con una sola ficha. El gameplay es prácticamente perfecto, los enemigos diferenciados, sprites bien hechos, alta dificultad, etc. Juegos como Dungeon and Dragons son más complejos, con más elementos y opciones, pero mucho más fáciles que Final Fight donde cada pantalla es un peligro. Final Fight es el padre de todos los beat em ups, y el mejor realizado.
