I was wondering, I wanted to check out more games that fit this type, or genre if that makes sense-- 2D Beat Em Ups that are primarily Fighting games or Fighting Games that have a 2D Side Scrolling/Platforming Adventure type mode to them. I listed an example of a few DIMPS games, below, that came out on the GBA and NDS. Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure and the Draglade series. These titles both offer a platforming, beat em up, style game while also being 1 on 1 fighting games. Off the top of my head the only games I can think of, in recent memory, that offer this style of play is Streets of Rage 4 & Fight'N Rage .
Also, I feel that some Arc System Works games had some beat em' up style modes in the fighters they make, but I can't recall which games outside of Granblue Fantasy VS at the moment. Maybe I'm just feeling a little nostalgic, but I found my old DS and fired up some Jump Ultimate Stars and recalled that I spent a good amount of time playing the titles below. I don't think this is a common mix of genre's anymore, or I guess I don't know of many-- I was hoping for some input from Resetera as I'd like to find other games of this style.
