Beat Em Up among the fighting video game fans. For more than decades, there had been loads of Beat 'Em Up games, and throughout the years, there had been some amazing games of the mentioned category that went on to become classics.
The first ever Beat Em Up game was made back in 1984 by Japanese publisher and developer Irem. It was made for the Japanese Arcade machines, and later in the same year, it came to North America. With its success, it was ported to the NES and its Japanese counterpart Famicom.

But unfortunately, this title had been a disaster both financially and critically. This title totally killed the franchise, and it could never be reawakened. However, there are rumours that Capcom is planning to reboot the series with a potential remake of the first title. A new version of this Classic Beat 'Em Up video game will definitely be a welcoming addition.
