Final Fight and Double Dragon are the first ones that comes to mind.
Trying to still wake up and function so I can't think of others at the moment.
Oh! Battletoads was pretty fun from what I remember.
i would say TMNT IV
Is AvP any good on the SNES?
Peacekeepers comes to mind. Not the best, but pretty good.
The Genesis probably had better beatemups, I would say.

No. Stinky side scroller. Not the excellent Capcom beat 'em up. Stay far away.Originally Posted by Kevincal
It is a tough call, but I lean toward Final Fight 3 as the best SNES beat 'em up. The original is too neutered and lacks a two player mode. Final Fight 2 is not very good, though it has two player. The Peacekeepers (aka Rushing Beat Syura) is the best in the Rushing Beat/Rival Turf series, but Final Fight 3 is better.
TMNT IV is also spectacular, but much simpler in design.
In terms of beat 'em ups at large, the arcade version of Final Fight may be considered king, but I think Bare Knuckle/Streets of Rage 2, though derived from Final Fight, is the supreme overlord of the genre.
AvP sucks as BEMs go, King of the Dragons is a awesome sleeper, TMNT IV, Final Fight series, King Arthur Knights of the Round is good, Legend is fair but not great, Maximum Carnage, and we are all forgetting Batman Returns.
If they made a movie out of your top five worst sins, what would it be rated?

just stay away from rival turf at all costs.
Super Double Dragon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, and Ninja Warriors would be my top picks. There's quite a wide variety of good beat em ups on this system. Although I think the Sega Genesis got the best 16-bit beat em ups (SoR trilogy, nuff said), the SNES tends to have a larger selection of quality ones.
Note: Ninja Warriors doesn't have free 360 degree movement like most beat em ups. It has a single plane system, kind of like Bad Dudes and Two Crude Dudes, except those two generally had two planes to jump to at all times.
hey everybody thanks for the feedback i forgot how many beat em up there were for snes.
TMNT IV was my favorite.
I would pick Super Punch-Out. I'm sure a boxing game isn't what you were really looking for but they are fighting...and it's one of my favorite SNES games.
Final Fight and Turtles in Time
the only beat em' up game I enjoyed for the SNES was Battle Toads and Double Dragons. It was a great game I think it is my favorite beat em' up game.
Final fight 1. But the Sega Cd version is MUCH better: 2 player simultaneous, guy is in there, 2 extra levels from the arcade game + CD music.
Good call man! I always forget about that one and it is incredible. Excellent graphics and well-balanced gameplay.
Disagree. I thought this game got a bad rap when really, it's not THAT bad. In fact, I rather enjoyed it. Also, considering how common it is, and how cheap it is, $3-$5... it's worth picking up if you're a fan of the genre.
I haven't seen:
Brawl Brothers
Combatribes
Sonic Blastman 1 and 2
mentioned. These are pretty good. I especially love The Combatribes, have a soft spot for that game, though it does have a certain acquired taste.
I also say STAY FAR AWAY from SNES Alien vs. Predator. My gosh, what a horrible game.
Oh yeah, Adventures of Batman and Robin is pretty cool!
I LOVE this game. It's apart of the Rushing Beat (thanks for the correction) series and by far the best of the bunch. I love the alternate pathways and the character depth.
I remember EGM giving this game a low score because it lacked music. Apparently they never checked the options menu because in order to hear the games music, you must turn the music ON. I guess the programmers wanted to show off the games amazing background noises and sound effects so they left the music off from the get go.
another vote for the Rushing Beat Trilogy.
Rival Turf is basically a Final Fight clone but with 2p play (which was the reason we originaly bought it with our SNES) and Brawl Brothers and Peacekeepers were just flat out fantastic (imo of course; this thread proves that your mileage may vary
If you're into the whole "hey downloading roms is a-ok" thing, then feel free to check out the japanese version of The Peace Keepers for some better artwork (especially during the super moves...whatever they're called) or grab a patch for the US version. Fuckin' A-1 good game.
also, comedy Gourmet Sentai Bara Yarou option.
Ditto that. I really enjoyed this game back in the day, one of my fav. SNES games.
I'm always looking for new boxed NES accessories. If you've got any for sale, shoot me a PM!
