Same deal as Peace Keepers with alternate paths. But not a single cop in sight.
Guardians: Denjin Makai II
Guardians: Denjin Makai II
One of the most polished 2D mashing-a-thons on arcade. Looks nice and plays nice. Plus, lots of dudes to choose from.
Kurohyou: Ryuu ga Gotoku Shinshou
Kurohyou: Ryuu ga Gotoku Shinshou
Delinquent protag in a Yakuza game. Pretty cool.
Ninja Gaiden Black

I haven't played the Ninja Gaiden Chuuuuu doooe for 360 so I'll put the less coked up first game here for now.

Good remaster of a good remake of a pretty bare arcade game.

Japanese version better.
Alternate paths out the ass and vary per character. You get a color editor for all players and enemies. Music is nice too.

Coolio rpg brawler

Bonafide classic. Upon further inspection, music isn't as cool as 1's.
Urban Reign
Urban Reign
One of the more polished brawlers mechanically. Depth doesn't necessarily come from how many times you punch a dude. Brutally hard but satisfying. Multiplayer fun as fuck.
Yakuza 2
Yakuza 2
Isn't as crazy as Spike Out above but it's simple enough and engaging to fool around plus a pretty cool story. Exploration is the key for the REAL big dick brawling.
