10 Video Game Genres That NEED To Make A Comeback

10. Beat 'Em Up Games

Beat 'Em Ups were a staple of '90s arcades and households alike. With titles like Double Dragon and Final Fight still sought after and actively played today, fans of these games are desperate for more modern titles done in this classic style. There have been a few more modern games that have tapped into the lingering interest in the genre, with titles like Double Dragon Neon, Castle Crashers and even Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: the Game garnering critical praise and fan adoration alike. Additionally with the recent release of the highly praised Streets of Rage 4 and the Battletoads reboot, the market shows signs of life.

This is to say nothing of the endless amount of potential tie-ins you get with this particular genre. Some of the most beloved and fondly remembered beat 'em ups were the likes of The Simpsons and X-men arcade games. With superhero movies being the modern day titan that it is, it would make perfect sense for developers to take a look at diving back into this beloved gem of the past.
