Midway compliments Brawl for ˜beat-em up` resurgence

“Super Smash Bros. [Brawl] was a fantastic game, Soul Calibur [IV] did very well, Street Fighter [IV] is clearly a big one next year, and we shouldn’t forget Tekken [6]. I think there’s a resurgence in the genre, especially compared to recent years where other genres such as FPS have dominated.” - Midway’s Mortal Kombat brand manager Mark Cook

This may be just me, but when I hear the term ‘beat-em up’, I think of games like Streets of Rage and Final Fight. Anyone else with me on this one?

Information on Pikmin Wii (Nothing here is certain, though):
Green Pikmin - Parasites. We saw them in the bulbmin in Pikmin 2.
Orange Pikmin - Explosive. New bomb-rock carriers. Immune to explosions.
Brown Pikmin - Battle Pikmin. Wear armor that protects them from attacks four times. Can be as heavy as purple, but not as strong. Weight depends on amout of armor.
Tan Pikmin - No special features or abilities. Weakest attackers. One can have three-hundred of these on the feild at once, as well as one-hundred of the other colors.
Black Pikmin - Ninja Pikmin. When left alone, will travel through area, unnoticed by enemies, & map out location of "treasure." Dodges enemy attacks. Throws darts instead of using the leaf on its head. Flower Black Pikmin throw larger darts.
Gold/Silver/Bronze Pikmin - Commander Pikmin. Can only be one of each color at a time. Think of them as a replacement for Louie. Large heads. Intelligent. Can order its Pikmin to build devices of transportation or weaponry.   - Wazzup?
