Here's some fun trivia about the most recent appearance of Dynamite Cop: Sega, the makers of Dynamite Cop, did a couple crossover strategy RPGs for the 3DS with Namco and Capcom, titled Project X Zone. In the first of these, Bruno Dellinger is one of the included characters, voiced by Ben Hiura (who dubs for Bruce Willis in many of his roles, most relevantly, John McClane). He attacks using a pepper shaker, mop, and exploding grandfather clock. He can be paired up with Frank West (from Dead Rising) and Hsien-Ko (from Darkstalkers), which leads to the two guys asking Hsien-Ko to carry all their weirdass weapons in her bottomless sleeves. Due to licensing and copyright issues with Die Hard Arcade, they replaced Bruno's BGM in the international release of the game, from High Rise to Hell (from Dynamite Cop 1/Die Hard Arcade) to Poop Deck Pursuit (from Dynamite Cop 2). The Bermuda (where DC2 takes place) is also a map in PxZ, with item-bearing breakable objects using the models of Dynamite Cop power-ups, and the rather unfortunate-looking enemies (the Bermuda Gang) show up throughout the game. In the English version, the localization team changed the title of a chapter taking place on the Bermuda to "Die Even Harder" in reference to Die Hard Arcade, as well.

GamesAreSupernice posted:I always wondered if they just mispelled Derringer. Dellinger's a real name, though there's no one super-famous historical figure I could point to with it.

Since we're talking Sega and beat-em-ups, one thing I can recommend is if you have a PS3 or 360, some years ago Sega released a massive collection of first-party Genesis titles (with a few arcade/Master System games as bonuses), titled Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection in the NA region, and Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection everywhere else. It's got all three Streets of Rage games, Altered Beast (both Genesis and arcade), Golden Axe 1-3, Comix Zone, and Alien Storm, plus a ton of games from other genres (it's the largest single-volume compilation Sega ever released). On the SNES side, I'd echo recommendations of Captain Commando, Final Fight, Captain America and the Avengers, the TMNT arcade ports, and so on. If you can find a version for consoles/PC, the old Simpsons arcade game is a classic of the genre, as well, though that one mainly shines in multiplayer. For more recent games, MadWorld is a fun romp that just oozes style, though it's a bit short. It has a kind-of sequel in Anarchy Reigns (which GASN LPed a few months back), which looked decent. The Viewtiful Joe series had a lot of platformer elements, but was mostly a beat-em-up at heart, and both games were fantastic. Oh, and there's Godhand, of course, though at that point we're departing somewhat heavily from the old arcade conventions.
