I wonder how drugs are going to work.

Sadly I think it is anon. I wish it wasn't so cause games like Dragon's Crown and Advanced Guardian Hero's was amazing. :(

It's a pretty shallow genre originally designed to be a quarter eater at arcades.
There should be one or two coming out over the years via indie devs or Kickstarter and such, but nothing from big developers.

Yes

Well Vanillaware is still making games but that's about it really.

Stuff like Bayonetta or God Hand can be interpreted as modern bear em ups. Especially God hand, considering you're fighting a bunch of bikers and cuballs and shit like most arcade bear em ups.

Unfortunately yes, nobody wants to just sit next to you and play games anymore and these are not nearly half-good online.

Last one I played was Scott pilgrim which I thoroughly enjoyed. My roommate and I finished it together. Kim a qt

True enough but one company does not make a genre sadly. We do get Odin Sphere later this year so there is that.

What don't you like about that game?

>someone else likes Advanced Guardian Heroes
It wasn't as good as the original, but I liked it.

>>330301482
No. It just evolved

This. DMC kind of made it evolve into a hybrid genre. GodHand, DC, and the Warriors are more traditional examples of the genre though
