In the words of grumpy cat, NO.
Those are modern 3D action-adventure games. Seems to be a million of those. I was thinking of stuff that looked like this......
.......with an experience system.
Seems to be a short list?

I'm telling you, Bone. Look up Ninja Boy II, Little Ninja Brothers, and the rest of the "Super Chinese" game series.

Will do. I actually own a couple of 'em.

I have owned Super Ninja Boy for years and have still not beaten it.
I really need to get around to that.

There's still ways to get some unlisted games. Sometimes places like Gamestop or Amazon have codes. I also recently found out that Turtles in Time Re-Shelled can be acquired off of the Hong Kong PSN store if anyone is willing to make a Hong Kong account
Also, there was talk from the creator of Scott Pilgrim that he has interest in a PS4 re-release, preferably with a physical disc to go with it, which would likely be made in limited quantities obviously

I want a Steam release on PC!

I'm racking my (limited) brain and can't come up with anything else, the closest is Super Adventure Island 2, but that doesn't have a leveling system and is more of a platformer

What about Dragon View (SNES)? Does it count?

I will absolutely second that choice, and I'm not entirely sure why I haven't mentioned it already! Definitely one of my favorite games on SNES. It skews more towards ARPG than beat-'em-up, but it's definitely got the belt-scrolling combat going on.
Of course, if Dragon View counts (and it should, dang it), then so should Legend of Mana on PSX. It also introduces belt-scrolling combat to the series, and while that might have drawn the ire of series fans, it's still a good (if narratively disjointed) game.
