THE UNOFFICIAL ALL PURPOSE GUIDE TO SIDE-SCROLLING BEAT EM UPS

Thank you for purchasing one(1) "Unofficial All Purpose Guide to Side-Scrolling Beat Em Ups" for the price of $0.00. Contained herein, you will find the largest collection of knowledge on the subject anywhere. Probably. Highlights include "the origin of 3d gameplay", and "why can't I get past this loving boss fight". Information will not be presented in chronological order of release, or even by platform. But do not fret, this thorough digital compilation will take any willing participant though nearly every side-scrolling 2.5D beat 'em up ever made*. This includes arcade titles as well. Let's get cracking.
*Exclusions are dependent on whether I realize a certain game exists, and its relevance to the genre, but I think I have a pretty good grasp. Any games that aren't relevant or unique will most likely be uploaded as extras. Still, suggestions are more than welcome!
Important Notes: This thread pertains mostly to traditional 2.5D beat 'em ups and games directly inspired by them. Some strictly 2D or strictly 3D beat em ups may not be covered. Oh, and anyone else is obviously free to contribute, if they like!
