Is the Beat'em up Genre dead?

Marian was turned into a man in the American version of Double Dragon because they didn't want to depict a woman getting punched in the stomach in America

Its been beaten by other more popular video game genres.

Pretty much. Still a few series but its pretty niche now. Its evolved onto a 3D plane though too. Yakuza is probably the most popular current best em up.

Senran Kagura on 3DS is beat em up, the others are more musou like.

I'm playing a pretty fun game that came out on 3DS in Japan last year Kenka Bachou 6. And there's a really interesting new 3D beat em up coming for Vita called "Uppers" which looks really good.

in the remake they made marian look like a literal street whore, yet censored the panty shot when he slings her over the shoulder because that would be inappropriate for young males

Thinking about getting into pic related

Does it have any life left?

I could never finish the very 1st battletoads
it was so fun and sadistic, what were the devs thinking?

>>334749429
played a while ago (few months).

Streets were packed still for trading, got into matches no problem. Unless something drastic happened i can't see it being dead in any capacity

Hack 'n Slash are basically the modern Beat'em ups
