I grew up on beat-em-ups. They're my jam. I've noticed in the last ten years or so a resurgence in the genre, and I think that's because folks my age are making games now. Most brawlers these days are pretty meh, but Castle Crashers was the first time in a long time I felt a revival had occurred. Addicting gameplay, couch coop, customization, fantastic designs, potty humor. It's all here.
