While this is unsurprising given the sheer number of top quality fighters currently competing for sales in a less than stellar market, I genuinely hope that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 finds the success and audience that it so clearly deserves. Potentially proved by the relatively disappointing sales of Street Fighter X Tekken earlier in the year, it seems that the beat-em-up bubble might be about to burst, or at the very least, loose a bit of air. That all obviously changed when Capcom released the seminal Street Fighter IV and subsequently proved that the long dormant genre was once again financially viable but while this somewhat amazing U-turn has led to an array of first rate beat-em-ups of both the 2D and 3D persuasion, it is arguably getting to the point in which over saturation is a very real problem. Sure, there were a few mid-tier titles knocking about here and there, but for the most part, the beat-em-up genre had become something of a barren wasteland in which fans were forced to return to their dusty old Dreamcasts to get their gaming kicks.

It’s strange to think that just a few short years ago, there wasn’t a single beat-em-up of note to be found on any of the major platforms.
