Beat Em Ups.

No, I dont care that Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, and Turtles had an entry recently; theyre the exceptions, not the rule. SoR led the nostalgia charge, then came TMNT, and then DD came and went with a whimper. Lets see how long we get another prominent entry in the genre.

Good point.

Double Dragon Gaiden and DD4 were both shit because they were based on the crappy Nintendo versions. I will never understand why they would base it on unofficial nonsense instead of the great arcade version.

And SOR4, for me, if I can't buy it on disc then the game doesn't exist.

Such a shame on both counts.

Final Fight is dead because Capcom thinks putting FF characters into a different genre is the same thing, lol.

Maybe Golden Axe will be brought back.

Not sure if it's a "genre" but movie licensed games are pretty dead

Good point. Mostly because a movie takes a couple of months to make, but a game seems to take 4 years to develop, and then the publisher wants to drag out DLC for another 6 years, meaning the movie is 10 years old, lol.
