A few attempts were made to keep the genre going on PlayStation and its contemporaries, but they met with limited success at best. That happened for many reasons, including market saturation, the popularity of one-on-one fighters eating the genre’s lunch, an overall lack of innovation, and the 3D nature of the gameplay meaning it got precious little boost from the shift into polygons the way other genres did. That’s certainly the case with beat-em-ups, a genre which reached its height in the 16-bit era only to almost completely vanish in the following generation. Old genres rarely die, they just often end up evolving into something a bit different.
