Whoa now. Scott Pilgrim is a great beat 'em up and I'd love to see it return on current platforms, but I'm side-eyeing anyone who goes so far as to say it's better than Streets of Rage 2, 3, and/or 4. It's not like it's way worse or anything, but it definitely isn't superior to them. (SP's soundtrack is far better than SoR 3's though, I'll give it that!)
The first Streets of Rage... perhaps, yeah. SoR 1 is still a good game but it hasn't aged nearly as well as its sequels.

Cool, more people can see what an absolute slog this game is: it takes what feels like forever to even reach the first boss and you start off really underpowered (I don't like the money system).
The sprite work and music is wasted on it but it has reached mythic status just because it got delisted.

THERE we go.
That's the culprit. In recent years, Universal has tried some game stuff, but unsuccessfully.
we got a mummy demastered physical from LRG so neversaynever
Mentionings of the game in August 2020 is interesting though, because August 10th was 10th Anniversary of the game. It didn't release onto XBLA until August 25th 2010, though.
It's almost time for the veil to be removed for everyone that missed out on it to realize it's actually a pretty middling beat 'em up at best.
Friendly reminder that even objectively average games can have dedicated fan bases because it's more than the sum of its parts. Even if better beat em ups have come out since, the success of this game at that time actually introduced a whole new generation of kids to the beat em up genre. Not every game needs to be ground breaking or innovate a genre. It's simple, fun, and a visual/auditory treat.
yep. glad it's coming back if it is for preservation purposes but the game plays like butt.
I know. I'm not talking to people who have played it, I'm setting expectations for those that haven't and have had the game built up to be something much better than it actually is because of the talk surrounding it since its delisting. People have had huge regrets over missing it, and until it's available again I'll say from my own experience that they shouldn't and aren't missing out on much. Listen to the OST and play Double Dragon Neon or Streets of Rage 4 instead.
maybe, it's hard to say for sure
ubisoft being quiet about the game for so long after the delist certain makes it seem that way
I find it pretty great even If it's not in SOR series level.
Much better than River City Girls for instance
Ehhh while I enjoyed DDN Id say SP was more enjoyable. The OST was fire but it had some irritating decisions on some stages and the game itself felt a bit clunky.
I cant say anything bad about SoR4 tho that game is potential goat in the genre.
Hopefully it happens for preservation's sake. It's a fun little game let down by some of its design but elevated all the same by it's aesthetics. Middling at best 'em up, though.
I wonder if they do end up re-releasing this if it'd come with the DLC. Knives and the extra modes would make sense but I recall there being some controversy with the Wallace DLC involving plagiarized spritework.

hell yes, still salty i missed out on the window for the DLC back then too, ugh. hope the vinyl OST gets a repressing one day as well.
this + double dragon neo are so very high on my physical want list, along with a collection featuring alien vs predator
oh? first ive heard of it, damn

Monkey's Paw curls, it's actually a Scott Pilgrim mobile game. (Please don't kill me for this joke)
I sure fucking hope so. It was just a goofy River City knockoff with the Mario 3 overworld, but it was fun as shit and the soundtrack was dope.
I always felt like the game was a novelty.
It was, like, too much of a dream ticket that didn't really add up to the sum of its parts: a River City Ransom Scott Pilgrim game with the Baby Pirate guy doing sprites and Anamanaguchi holding down the soundtrack.
I played it enough to get tired of it. But in the best way: I had like 3 houses full of like 12 friends and we played local 4-player this shit to death.
I'm happy to see so many people excited for the game, but I honestly don't really care too much for it in retrospect.

Nah get with the times. Snotgirl it is!
Seconds is so good though.
They gave us a lot of fun, it just takes way too long to get the upgrades. When you start your characters are way too damn slow.
Loved the game back in the day but it definitely felt a bit rough around the edges. I remember things being rather glitchy and sometimes certainly sequences didn't work properly.
Also didn't like that the game didn't tell you what food items did to your stats, but I still ended up maxing out stats on most of the characters via guides.
Still a good time nonetheless.
