What I am looking for is a side-scrolling fighting game (the fighting and graphics quality should at least be on par with Streets of Rage (Genesis) or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Manhattan Project (NES). They can be be much better also.) with RPG elements. On par with those meaning the fighting should have multiple moves and combination (rather than just button smashing one button to attack) and at least a few characters with different fighting styles and benefits and faults. Of course characters don't have to stick to strictly melee fighting (it seems like people felt that way) but I would like to have it as an option. The idea is fighting many weaker enemies and at the end there's a strong boss or something.

It should have a story that you can skip also. I cannot emphasize the importance of being able to completely ignore the story. The example I used, Tyrian, has a history and different cultures and planets and information provided in data cubes you can collect, but you can also chose to skip reading those and just shoot and upgrade your ship even in story mode. That is essentially what I want.

The other RPG elements I would like involve being able to build up your characters by doing things like adjusting their stats as they level up or being able to obtain different items or weapons or moves they can use which you may or may not be able to customize. (Essentially what you would find in most MMORPGs and various RPG games, where as you level up you can distribute skill points, upgrade skills and attacks, and buy weapons or armor for your party or character.)

Essentially what I'm looking for is Tyrian as a side scrolling fighting game.. xD Any help would be appreciated... Thank you. =)

I want the game(s) for any of these systems:
NES
SNES
N64
GB/GBC
GBA
DS
Sega Genesis
PS1
DOS
Windows

As always of course I'm open to anything well made so I don't care who developed it, who designed it, or who worked on it. For all I care it could be a game made by a single person on something like Game Maker or something.
Feel free to mention anything, even obvious choices, as hey may have slipped my mind and you may remind me of something.
Decent music and sounds are always a plus, but are not required.

-Multiple Attacks (rather than only one button for attacking)
-Variety of characters an fighting styles
-Being able to level up and improve your character
-Story/plot that can be skipped over (as in you can actually not bother reading it at all, not that it isn't important)
-Game should be in English or at least have an English patch or something (please mention if it needs to be patched because of a fan-translation)
-Multiplayer option (Single player game with a possibility of two players or more, multiplayer not online only)
