TMNT on GBA was pretty good.
WayForward's Batman: TBATB had good fighting system mechanics and plenty of potential for juggles but I can't recall an example of a good Western developed pure beat'em up ever.

TMNT on GBA was pretty good.
I thought people liked Contra 4 and Aliens: Infestation?
Didn't Wayforward do good on those?
Looks pretty shitty! Why the CG instead of proper 2D art? The animation is actually too fluid - there's no real weight or impact to any of the attacks.
Throwing made me throw the controller. (almost) The weightless remark is 100% dead on, when I played this with Korly at Pax it was like paper dolls fighting.
Urgh. That music sounds like something from a shitty Casio. And the overfluid animation looks like a drawback - animation cancelling looks like garbage thanks to the tons of frames.
Mighty Switch Force is pretty clever, and worth playing (especially for its low price), but Contra 4 is massively overrated. Dual screen gameplay = cheap deaths aplenty. Thor looks great but the gameplay is just bad: repetitive, cheap, and slow as fuck. Aliens is OK but really really really short.
