This game not only had three sequels but it had multiple endings, and inspired a rockband to use its title as a name for their band. It is a cult classic and was years beyond it's time as a beat em up.

And WHY was this game not mentioned, at the very least?

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

Streets of rage/Bare knuckle is alright but I had more fun playing comix zone to be honest.

Let us not forget the game maximum carnage and separation anxiety as well. Those may not be the best but at least they were noteworthy.

There is also sengoku, golden axe, and knights of the round for people who were interested in folklore games.

You had alot of good notes there that myself enjoyed as a child and with friends.

Especialy during my Spiderman stages as a child playing as Venom and Spiderman togather was hella fun.

I still hold Turtles in Time as my top favorite but alot of what you mentioned is just a notch under it for me.

What about viewtiful Joe?
It's true that if you own a PS3 then all arguments made by those who don't have one are invalid.

Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 were very good. They were extremely difficult though. That's probably one of the reasons why the games didn't sell well.

Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble killed this franchise. It's kinda sad.

Viewtiful Joe would be more of a platformer, imo.

Street fighting is all about analysis, prediction, and reaction. That's it.

A beat-em up with platform elements.
