Insta-sold the moment I saw this. With games like Streets of Rage being my early childhood and games like MadWorld and Yakuza being some of my personal favorites this gen, I do enjoy that someone is trying to give a modern sense of appeal to an old genre. For all the media cracking down on it being a Multiplayer Beat-em-up, the story trailer seems to say enough about the single player to asume they're putting an effort into that as well.
I was a little worried at earlier footage of the multiplayer what with a noticeable amount of lag in some clips and even trailers, but the newest videos I'd seen off-screen and on don't seem to have nearly as much now. I also gotta say that I'm surprised by how many characters have since been announced--it started off with only three, now it's almost four times that much. A bitchin' easter egg I'd say would be adding someone like Axel or Shiva from Streets of Rage into the game.
Though it seems only to be a spiritual successor to MadWorld, here's still hoping for the return of Greg Proops and John Dimaggio as the announcers along with the characters Jack, Matilda, Baron, etc. returning as well.
