Ten Classic Beat'em Ups Honoured

Destructoid linked to a great video on GameTrailers today which lists the Top 10 Beat'em Ups of all time.

As with any "definitive" list, there are omissions galore as well as questionable choices with the ranking order and the actual games included in this esteemed list of classics.

• Double Dragon for the NES was honoured, but not the arcade version? As I remember it, the NES version had inferior graphics and took unnecessary liberties with the level design found in the coin-op game.
• Battletoads?? Get that game outta there. While it was pretty snazzy for its time, it was also way too gimmicky and challenging for its own good. The void left by Battletoads could be filled by any number of worthy classics (props to the Destructoid commentors for some of these fond remembrances): Bad Dudes, Vendetta, Alien vs. Predator, Growl, Combatribes, Maximum Carnage, The Avengers and the Ninja Gaiden arcade version.
• The SNES sequels to Double Dragon should not be overlooked. DD2 featured some great graphics while DD3 introduced some awesome new levels. And lets not forget Super Double Dragon, an SNES "exclusive" that brought back the joys of tossing enemies down strategically placed pits. Excellent co-op play on all 3 games.
  
• Growl sticks out in my mind as a very fun but overlooked beat'em up. It was all about teaching evil animal poachers a lesson. Fighting with weapons was cool in this game, especially so because you were able to pick up rocket launchers as well as beat enemies down with a stick even as they were down on all fours, begging for mercy.
• Guardian Heroes for the Sega Saturn made the list.... and by god this game looks sweet. Who wants to start a petition to get this title on XBLA?
  

What did you think of this list? What other games did they overlook?
