Shoot Em Ups have an entire subgenre autistic fans have labeled "cute em ups," but I only know of 1 cute beat em up (picrel.) Do any others exist? I don't care if they're actually good, but bonus points if they are.
>>11492516Well there's 4 sailor moon brawler games I know about, they're all at least good but from the ones I played (sfc, r on sfc, and md) md is the best.Pu-Li-Ru-La might count as cute.
>>11492516For the arcade you got Ninja Baseball Batman, Buck O Hare, Asterix, the Simpsons, Sailor Moon, TMNT Arcade and Turtles in Time and as said Pu-Li-Ru-La..On console you got more Turtles and Sailor Moon games, Stone Protectors and all the Goemon / Legend of the Mystical Ninja's games.

>>11493013We got so many indie "spiritual sequels", I want to see someone do it to this game. Meatier gameplay, sure, but primarily better aesthetics
>>11492526Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon on MD is one of my most nostalgic games of all time.I love it, it's fun to play, has the more "revealing" transformation scenes, and imo what makes this game special to me is the soundtrack, which is by Aki Hata.Just listen to this. This is real retro game melancholy in pure musical form.https://youtu.be/sUWvNY_Ne-8?si=70QcQ-xrYyF53li4https://youtu.be/KZdBjnTZMiQ?si=Z7-CwpazU1RetJZYI still need to play the SNES games, I know they support 2 player co op, which is honestly a shame the MD game doesn't have.
>>11493509I played the MD game last and it was apparent within seconds it had better mechanics. The stage design is better too. R on the SFC is better than the first game on SFC but neither are great imo.
>>11493517Not really, it has more jank: regular enemies have wake up i-frames, spammy jump special, slowdowns when punching things, can't cancel-throw anymore. The SFC one is a solid FF clone, Makoto is the equivalent of Haggar.
>>11493509Have you tried the arcade game, great music, backgrounds and huge sprites.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Exdbs5qRPYo
>>11493676Oh also if the enemy is a bit far you'll hit but not combo because the combo string is shorter reach than your first hit lol
>>11492516>Pu-Li-Ru-La might count as cute.Pushing it.
>>11492516Shonen Ninja Sasuke on SNES.
>>11493042Best part of that game is the full non-pixel portraits and the shopkeepers
>>11492971I didn't know about this game, thanks
theyre called cute em ups
Now THIS is belt scrolling!
>>11494209that's reserved for cute shutems though
CB Chara Wars, kinda
if shoot'em ups are called shmups, why aren't beat'em ups called bemups
>>11492971not retro
>>11493038nigga named their main character "pee"
>>11492986I mean that's just a cartoony setting, not a super cute setting. If that qualifies then some TMNT games and that Simpsons one do too. I wouldn't really count them though
>>11494898I'd count it, based on this screenshot
>>11495072They're not called either though.
>>11492516What kind of stupid idiot calls this "cute"?
>>11499896uwu desu senpai
