Released in 2009 for the Nintendo DS, Tokyo Beat Down is a beat 'em up video game that ingrains itself in the veins of classic arcade action. Developed by Tamsoft and published by Atlus in North America, it offers players a combination of old-school brawling mechanics with a comical narrative. Players step into the shoes of tough-as-nails cop Lewis Cannon as they take on the seedy underbelly of Tokyo. Fighting through hordes of thugs, the game delivers a satisfying mix of punches, kicks, and combo moves.
