Astro Boy: Omega Factor Classic
Best Game Boy Advance beat 'em ups
The Matrix has 50 beat 'em ups on file for the Game Boy Advance, released between 2001–2007. 15 of them support multiplayer, including 10 with co-op. They're ranked below by legacy score, so the games that shaped the genre on the GBA come first, with lesser-known picks further down.
Beat 'em ups send you down scrolling streets fighting waves of thugs with punches, kicks, throws and grabbed weapons. Most can be finished in a single sitting and shine with a second player.
Typical commitment: quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun). Tip: Avoid getting surrounded: keep enemies on one side of you and save your special attacks for crowds. Bring a friend if the game supports co-op.
