Thank you and happy gaming. Glen
About fight and rage, the fighting mechanics, the combo system seems to me it is the best
This look awesome too!

Anothet good one is Mother Russia Bleeds. It's a bit on the ultraviolent side, but it's worth it.
I thought that said Boatem ups. I've been watching to much Hermitcraft I think
I'm surprised you didn't put Mother Russia Bleeds
Song in the background?
Nigthslashers its on switch library too…
Ninja Warriors is the one.
Appreciate the video, I just purchased a hori fighting mini stick and streets of rage 4 and street fighter 30th anniversary. Hopefully the stick will work on my wii u for mame gaming 🙂
Imo Fight N' Rage is the best beat em up out there right now. Like there are options. Example: You spawn in the first level and have the option of going left. LEFT. IN A SIDE SCROLLER! The music, the combo depth, the multiple endings, all the stuff you can unlock to make the game more interesting. Guys go plz play Fight N' Rage. What one dude was able to accomplish is well worth you time and money if you're a beat em up fan ?
Castle crashers almost reminds me of golden axe
Nice to see fight N rage on here. One of the best beat m ups ever made in my honest opinion.
I wanted Aeon Must Die to be my first beat-em-up game… Will that even release?
Anyone who thinks Scott Pilgrim is a great beat 'em up doesn't know shit about beat 'em ups. Strip away the amazing graphics and soundtrack and all you have left is a subpar River City ripoff with mediocre gameplay
I'm glad that I found a channel who loves beat em up cause that's my favorite genre also. But you should try "Shank", I'm still waiting for another sequel and it's by far in my most top 10 beat em up list of all time.
River city Girls ??
I own river city girls and streets of rage and i definitely like river city girls better, is longer, funnier, story is better, way better gaming experience
I never played a whole lot of beat em ups growing up. I did play river city at my grandparents on occasion. I'm really loving scott pilgrim as my first true beat em up. I'm gonna have to pick up a few of these. They look fun!
You must check Mother Russia Bleed !
The messager
Can't believe Full Metal Furies is not on this list ???
The Street Fighter Bundle!
I need Chronicles of Mystera on switch!!! Cant wait for Scott Pilgrim to come out!
Super useful video, thank you!
Mother russia bleeds
Mega Drive collection suffers from some terrible input lag in comparison to other SEGA collections and the Mega Drive mini. Definitely not the best way to play any of the included games, gameplay and sound wise. It's definitely less noticeable in some games but I don't think it makes it worth the cash
Worth noting that the producer of The Takeover is Matt McMuscles, who has a great series on Youtube
Nice lis Mark!!! Looking forward to get some of these in a future sale… as they tend to be more en the short side if you just make a normal playthrough or to… and don´t play coop.
Next time in a list like this would me nice to mention which ones have coop or onlinplayer coop.
I just got Wulver Blade on sale for like $2.50 (AUD) and its great! Fun action, good fighting and enjoyable historical storyline (and good voice acting)
I loved this video and been trying to grab all the ones from your list, and just wanted ta add my 2 cents.
Thanks for all of your content and keep up the good work.
Wulverblade is another one I love so much
Fullmetal Furies! Death by obscurity.
Good video
I like streets of rage but draining your health bar to use your special is one of the most annoying things ever in any beat em up game I can think of. I’m more of a build it up and use build it up and use it kind of guy. If you miss you miss. Build it up again.
Hate to tell you, but AVP, Punisher, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, D&D were not absent from the Capcom Beat'em Up Bundle because they were forgotten or somehow unpopular. It's because they were all licensed games. Hell, I'm surprised they even got cleared to release the two D&D games on the last Gen, but then Wizards of the Coast probably had much more reasonable terms.
Great video! I love the genre and there are quite a lot I haven’t played yet on the Switch. My favorite at the moment has to be Ninja Saviors, that game is so good!
That's so cool you gave SwitchCorner a shoutout. Your channel and his channel are my favorite, you guys do such comprehensive reviews.
yes capcom beat em up bundle 2 better have AVP that would be an insta buy for me at full price
