Beat em up's that DESERVE a home console port.

[Matt-El]

I'd have a heart attack if I were able to play the Konami X-Men game or Taito's Superman on a console.

Any you want that have never came to be?

[Cmosfm]

Alien Vs. Predator & The Simpsons come to mind.

[DragonMaster Sam]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by itself, not with the newer TMNT games.

[roushimsx]

the Spikeout series comes to mind. I'm glad they made Battle Street for the Xbox, but I really wish they had ported over some of the other Spikeout games. Hell, Slashout on Dreamcast would have been nice.

Violent Storm, the one Konami brawler I can stomach, should have gotten a home port. It was such a radical step up from its predecessors and from pretty much the rest of Konami's brawler lineup.

[VG_Maniac]

A few beat-em ups I wouldn't mind seeing ported over to home systems.

The Simpsons
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Battletoads: The Arcade game
Alien vs Predator

[TheRedEye]

I'd have a heart attack if I were able to play the Konami X-Men

We've got a cabinet over at my friend's house and, trust me, it didn't age well. You beat it once, and you don't really want to play anymore.

[pragmatic insanester]

every damn one. i makes me sad when i realize that most of the arcade only BEUs are going to stay that way, either from defunct companies or lazy compilation makers.

[klausien]

Konami & Capcom need to get together and make an arcade beat 'em up collection. There are just too many to list.

[Ackman]

Vendetta, a lot of IGS games, The Crytsal Kings, Vamp 1/2, Night Slashers, Legionare.... too many too list

[syd]

Captain America and the Avengers! The Super Nintendo version was so disappointing. And of course X-Men and the Simpsons. I hate it when they do such bad ports of arcade games to consoles.

[The Plucky Little Ninja]

Here's another vote for The Simpsons. Why Konami hasn't gone and done a BEU compilation is beyond me. Maybe there's some strange deal with all the licensing that's involved.

[pragmatic insanester]

there was an amiga or c64 "port" of the simpsons arcade. WHY WHY WTF!?!?! that's like trying to shove ff7 onto a tiger handheld. i don't see why they didn't make a better attempt on something like the snes. bleh.

[Tron 2.0]

The Simpsons
X-Men
AvsP
The Punsiher

Still those are lincense games and i doubt, Konami&Capcom want to "spend money" to use these in a collection.

[Querjek]

I agree with everyone on the X-men and the Simpsons games.

[Massimiliano]

Violent storm
The simpsons
Asterix

Konami RULEZ

[Richter]

didnt The Punisher get a Genesis port?

[youruglyclone]

we need some Vendetta up in here...copyright infringement, gay bikers, horny dobermen...it's perfect fodder for recognition hungry politicians.

[reads thread]
whaaaaaaaaaa someone already mentioned it. hahaha

[evildead2099]

The TMNT coin-op has already been ported to the NES, complete with an extra level or two. Granted, the NES version of that game wasn't nearly as fun to play thanks to its wattered-down attack system.

Arcade Beat-em ups that I always wanted to play on my NES / Genny back in the day:

The Simpsns (Konami)

Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom (Capcom)

Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara (Capcom)

Alien vs. Predator (Capcom)

X-Men (Konami)

Spider-Man (Sega)

Superman (Taito)

and, in particular....

Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder (Sega)!

[Ackman]

Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom (Capcom)

Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara (Capcom)



Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder (Sega)!

Wasn't this already on the saturn or the dreamcast IIRC some collection? Might be JPN only memory is a bit fuzzy?

I'm like 97% sure

But I know for sure GA The Fighter was on the saturn, oh wait you mean't GA2 oh then no sorry.

[Ascending Wordsmith]

No mention of DJ Boy?

But, yeah. What others have said. Especially Revenge of the Death Adder. That game is sweet.
