    Default Good SNES/GEN side scrolling beat em ups

    I am trying to beat as many side scrolling beat em ups on SNES and Genesis as possible. I've already gone through a fair few on SNES but I know I am missing some, and besides Streets of Rage and Punisher, I don't think I've played any on Genesis.

    I enjoyed Ninja Warriors (SNES) I'm trying to defeat the last boss though I get close then I die.

    Rival Turf hasn't aged very well, but Brawl Brothers is still decent fun. The Peace Keepers still rocks something fierce, though the jpn version (Rushing Beat Shura) rocks even harder.

    Maximum Carnage, for both systems. I think it's a really good one.

    Comic Zone for the Genesis. Great side scrolling beat'em up. One of my favorites for the system.

    If you have the Sega CD then you can't go wrong with Final Fight CD. It's one of the best ports of that game.

    Captain America & The Avengers for the NES/Genesis is a good one.
    X-Men for the SNES is too (if you can stand to do the Street Fighter moves,that is...)

    Thanks. I've played some of these but some I haven't. Never even heard of Comic Zone and Alien Storm (never grew up with a Genesis except Sonic and stuff). I did not like Golden Axe much though. At least, I think it was Golden Axe..

    Wow, I hope you were joking or being sarcastic. That game blows, and you'd be the first one I met that cited they enjoyed the game.

    I'll recommend Combatribes on SNES. Not the best, but colorful and quite brutal with lots of dark humor offensive moves.

    Steven: I liked AvP a little actually, but it wasn't that good yeah. I was really disappointed considering how much I love both movie franchises. Also, do you post on GameFAQs as Kikko or some name like that?

    SNES - ActRaiser 1 & 2 (though 1 is part sim) and I always loved the Magic Sword port.

    Not a beatemup, but I strongly recommend the 2 Contra titles available. Run and gun at its finest.

    That's The Alien Wars for SNES and The Hard Corps for Gen.

    Well, nowhere does it say I liked the game, I just noticed it wasnt mentioned yet. Honestly I maybe played it for 5 minutes after picking it up at a yardsale. It didnt stand out as either good or bad within that amount of time. At least now I know not to say I like it or I"ll be lambasted on the internet for it.
    I did however like Alien Storm.
