I had a hard time going from 2d side scrolling beat um ups to 3d poligonal games. Evan today i always end up playing more old games than new. Am i crazy?
My very first ps1 game that I got was Fantastic Four lol I also had Ninja and Jackie Chan: Stuntmaster as well. My favorite beat em up of all time is Fighting Force 1...played at at my friends house growing up!
Being more familiar with the 16 bit offers, I'm like a GOOD Batman Forever game!? 😂 I had a demo to that Ninja game and always meant to dive into it more. Yes on the Xena yell! 😂 I'd give that one a try.
Japan has many beat em ups that you have to try: Captain Commando Crisis Beat Gear Fighter Dendoh Hokuto no Ken / Fist of the North Star Panzer Bandit Tenchi o Kurau II / Warriors of Fate Zeiramzone
I own some of these games and honestly i struggle to get into them now. I just find the controls so clunky. Those dated visuals really dont help either.
@@BigRetroShow They do but even back then i wasnt totally convinced. I stuck mostly to the 2D titles, with the exception here and there. I really didnt fully embrace 3D action games till the ps2 rolled around 😅
I think fighting force deserves a place on your list. I played it recently and it still holds up well. Also if you've never played tai-fu Wrath Of The Tiger it's a great game en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%27ai_Fu:_Wrath_of_the_Tiger
Which console is the undisputed KING of beat em ups?
NEO GEO

I feel the same lol
99% of 2D beat em ups are easier to control. Besides the rare exceptions the genre doesn't translate well to 3D.
Funny thing is: I don't consider most of those games a beat em up, since most are action games to me.
Beat em up in combat but they do have other elements platforming and puzzle solving
The Xena game looks pretty fun. Actually the N64 one was a fighting game if I recall.
Never knew that the N64 has its own Xena game. I ought to check it out
How did the original fighting force not get mentioned here? That's criminal. 😅
Love that game. More or less saw that as a beat em up

I’ve always wanted Xena. I don’t know why though lol

I feel that. The games are a bit clunky and the graphics don’t hold up. But they have their charms here and there

I don't know why they ever made two player games. Us gamers don't have any friends
These are facts ! Haha
Speak for yourself
Because the majority have siblings to play with.
Great video but I still prefer horizontally scrolling 2D fighting games
Me too, but these have a place in my library too
Xena!! 😂
She’s a total warrior haha
JACKIE CHAN
mate the thumb nail is bullshit most of these games are shit and they got shit reviews ore mixed reviews
