Recently replayed Separation Anxiety on the SNES. I'm pretty sure it's an objectively mediocre beat em up but I love it so much for the nostolgia and the killer soundtrack

Double Dragon Advance
Despite being on a portable system, it's the best DD game imho.

We played through AvP last week and had a blast. I played the female and my son tried out the rest of the characters, but liked the predator with the staff the best. He kept getting surprised when he discovered new moves. We'll have to play through it again several more times before switching games I think. There's a lot to see in this one. The move sets are pretty extensive for a beat em up.

Gud game.
Fantastic game, always enjoyed it.
Played through Pirates of Dark Water on SNES several times this week. Pretty basic but fun beat 'em up really like it.

Ya I remember renting it way back when, actually replayed it over this summer on the flash cart, hella long game, takes about an hour to beat. I remember using Ioz a lot because his damage output was so much better and plowed through everything.
Yeah it is long as hell, Izo is the best makes the game way faster. Its an easy game to 1cc, it give you extra lives every 100K and the point system is generous as fuck. I kinda like towards the end it throws in a shmup level for a boss fight really cool.

I had the Genesis version as a kid and an arcade near my house had KoM1 for a bit, but I never played the SNES or arcade version of 2. I'm literally learning just now that 2 was actually a beat em up and not a fighter, wtf

I don't claim to be in any know myself. However, based on the comments I've observed, it appears that people look back on these games fondly despite their short comings.
The third game does in fact have music. It's accessed in the options menu. However, the US version contains less music than it's Japanese counterpart.
I have a little bit of a negative bias toward the series due to the nonsensical rules in Rushing Beat Ran and the rigid boring tactics one must apply to overcome them.
