One of the early stars of the PlayStation Network was the David Jaffe-designed Calling All Cars. The frenzied vehicular combat was a lively, cartoonish free-for-all, but it apparently never found an audience.

Capcom has announced another port of their classic and still immensely playable beat-em-up Final Fight in a package deal (called Final Fight: Double Impact) with Magic Sword.
