Did the SNES have better beat em up games than the Sega Genesis?

The beat em up genre of gaming was very popular back in the late 80’s and early 90’s on game consoles such the NES, SNES and the Sega Genesis.  For the SNES we had games such as the Final Fight series, Super Double Dragon, TMNT: Turtles in Time, etc. While the Streets of Rage series was very impressive for the Sega Genesis some might argue that it’s among few great beat em up titles that was featured on that particular console.  


In fact there have been people who have been waiting since the mid 90’s for a 16 bit side scrolling sequel to Streets of Rage 3.  But looking at the beat em up titles from the 16 bit era it seemed like the SNES had more memorable games overall Compton the Genesis.
