I love sidescrolling beat'em ups like Streets of Rage and Final Fight. I feel that very often new games in the genre are hard to discover, unless they have a big license like Marvel attached to them. Do you know of any good new games in the genre that came out this year? Indietitles and hidden gems are always appreciated.

Ironically Marvel Cosmic Invasion came out December 1st and it's a very solid sidescrolling beat em up

Thanks, as I implied I'm pretty aware of that. Have you played it?
