it is a lost art indeed. i wish there were beat 'em up games these days.

They are, indeed!😊 I think I haven' t had such a good "beating time" since them!

Nah plenty of good ones out there. Muramasa, dragon crown, Scott pilgrim, phantom breaker battleground, odins sphere, River city girls and we even get a Streets of rage 4.

2017's Fight 'n Rage is fantastic.

I miss Scott pilgrim. I had it on my Xbox, but the hard disc died out. That game was so awesome.

Es lo de la niña

Super late answer here, reason is that Ninja Warriors arcade is much older 1987 (I believe it is) compared to Ninja Warriors Again (1994) for Snes. But what you said is actually true, while Ninja Warriors arcade is surprisingly addictive and fun if you stick to it, the Snes game is so polished that it's impossible to not give it the medal. And now we have the amazing Ninja Warriors once again or Ninja Saviors (sadly they had to change the title in the west as the name Ninja Warriors was taken by the TV show). This version is the top one, with tons of new content and two new characters, it's like a dream come true.

For me, Final Fight 3 also deserves the first place in SNES-beat 'em ups!

I wonder why he always picks 13 instead of 10 or 15 or 11 or 12 or 14 and a half?

@@adayinforever he likes weird numbers and seems to not believe in bad luck. 👀

Even the hit sounds are better than the arcade version.

yea it's a lot like the punisher, maybe a tad better actually

Totally agree with you. Iron commando is an excellent game and it is very similar to the style of play that The Punisher has. Therefore I am fortunate to have in my collection the Iron commando game is a gem of the genre of Beat'em up. Cheers!!

play it, it's right up there with turtles in time in my opinion. so much fun

Yes, the SNES music.

Only In 2 player mode

Yes, it has some slowdown but at least it's not game breaking! Great game - for me, it would be on place one on the list!

I agree.

I agree with you! and left out another good is the Combatribes. Regards

You should play the arcade game like I did the other day, I think you are going to have your eyes opened like mine were. The SNES port is great but the arcade has so many more touches to it.

i agreee, the snes game is better than the arcade. more content, and tighter controls. konami knocked it out of the park with that port.

I agree with Ken, the arcade version is better in many ways. ...But I think the SNES version of Knights of the Round is better on the SNES due to the better controls.

In the SNES version you get: Bebop and Rocksteady, Slash, Rat King... Plus a coulpe of stages that are not in the arcade version Don't forget the VS mode and time trials

Remake too lol

Yeah, they're just seriously different, first one was more looking like a straight out bad comic book, but they sure learned from their mistakes with the second one, three characters to choose from instead of only Sonic Blast Man and nobody else, also, the game was way faster and this time you get to play as two players... Favorite character in Sonic Blast Man 2 was Sonya, when using her all out attack, she kindda look like some Super Saiyan mode straight out of a DBZ manga, of course, it's only her attack, nothing else, but the game itself is a lotta fun... Those guys from Taito seriously took it to new and improved, they adressed all the issues and fixed it all, not many game companies seem to fix up and improve the game....

But that game only has 2 beat em up stages (the first two) the others are platforming and weird levels with few (or zero) enemies or you can't hit them.

I would (maybe unfairly) lower it on my list because it's cheaper and arguably better or as good on genesis.

Battletoads and Double Dragon is better than it looks in the 4 versions, is very underrated in my opinion. I preffer the SNES one (better music, better intro, better double dragon art, new elements -abobo flying to the tv when you defeat him- and the new design of some elements -the enemy pods, turbo bikes, stage backgrounds-) but any of them is funny.

You're right

Yeah, a tiny bit more polish to some of the cut-scenes and presentation stuff and it would be one of the best beat 'em ups on SNES.

It's good, but after playing it recently I noticed it kinda drags because of the lack of enemy variation, and a ton of stages that are a little too long at times. But I own a copy, and I love the franchise, so I'm speaking purely from a "how it plays compared to other stuff" lens.

Yes! It is my favorite Beat em up on SNES, even ahead of Turtles in Time. That is mainly because it has more mechanics, like the tattoo men who you have to block before you can attack them. And some ememies are really mean on hard. But I agree with J Myers that the game is too long. This goes for most stages. Plus, the enemies take way too little damage from traps.

Same :(

100% @SNESDrunk must be garbage at Maximum Carnage, that's why he didn't add it. I think SNESdrunk also likes to shill for Sega Genesis. He said some dumb stuff like playing beatem ups is a better idea on Sega Genesis. Nah it isn't, the sound chip is garbage on that system! SNES for life!

Pirates of Darkwater is pretty underrated too, and Great Battle III (Japan)

It was pretty easy

Stick with the ROM unless you got deep pockets. But it's a solid game for sure.

Just found out about it earlier this week and threw it on my snes classic. It's so good

It does help to have a great Player 2

Do you have any siblings?

Final Fight 3 is the answer. Wish more games had a CPU assisted 2p mode.

Very true. I have my two player coop games lined up if I ever find a friend who wants to join me.

No it's more of a sequel than a remake.

It was called ”Ninja Warriors Again” in Japan, so yes a sequel. It now has a new sequel on modern platforms called ”Ninja Warriors Once Again” in Japan, but in the West it is called Ninja Saviors.

I'm not sure why anyone would think a radically different sequel made seven years later is a "port". One of the playable characters is thematically based on the primary character in the original arcade game, and the story is basically the same, but that's where the similarities both begin and end :D I like SNESDrunk's takes, but the comments (including incorrectly describing the blaster meter) proves that he didn't give it much of a chance, despite obviously liking it. It's really a masterful game, and a blueprint for how to design a perfect action game.

THEE BEST MUSIC BY FAR!!!!

Joseph Bekin I was coming to mention it. But it is 1p, and sometimes feela longer than needed. I loved all the extras like hidden areas based off of helper use. No AvP love? (Kidding)

Yeah..! The Combatribes

Ninja Warriors is amazing!!!!!!

I think that tittle belongs to the SOR saga for the Megadrive, Sor2 is better than all the games you listed there.

@chinitosoccer1 No, SoR2 is too repetitive and simplistic to be the number 1. Turtles in Time has better level design and varied gameplay, and Ninja Warriors has much more depth.

Great list, but I wolud put highter Super double dragon and King of dragons.

Javier Romero Romero yay another spanish speaking drunk fan. es cierto el borracho es fantastico.

Saludos desde Panamá SNES Drunk el mejor..!

Peter J. Anchor G. Puerto Rico here. QUE VIVA EL BORRACHO! JAAJAA

Saludos desde México ✌🍻🎮

Saludos desde Venezuela Borracho del SNES xD

He already know.

For real battletoads is the only beat em I like on snes, because there's actual skill required

Cholo?? XD

Yup I played that through all the modes and characters, repeatedly!

I was kindda dissapointed about the characters choice we could play, obviously there was King Arthur, and naturally Sir Lancelot, but I didn't know about Percival until later, now he's my character of choice in that game, might be slow and a little clumsy, but he hits hard with that battle axe, best of it, Percival is the only character in this game to use a dash attack, and he can take a decent level of punishment, beyond that, he's kindda slow...

Thanks for watching
