There's nothing like a good old fashioned game of dodgeball after a hearty brawl. This classic arcade sports game is now available for PlayStation 4, but is it as good as our memory tells us or were we hit in the head a few too many times?

Well, you're in luck if you are as today we see a smattering of old, new, titles arrive on Xbox One with ARC SYSTEM WORKS porting over some NES classics for the modern day gamer to enjoy. And yep, it's Double Dragon that steals the show."
Double Dragon 1-3, River City Ransom, Renegade, Super Dodge Ball? Omg I played the living daylights outta these! Shoot, nice adds!
Hopefully there will be an option to turn off those stupid side borders. Great line up never played the NES version of Double Dragon I only own the SMS version.
Thought this was going to be Nintendo returning the favour to Microsoft for their exclusives.
Why is the final boss of Double Dragon the only character in the game with a gun? There is an entire gang running the streets with baseball bats, dynamite, giant rocks etc. But none of them carry guns. They will kill you throwing giant rocks at you
In case you missed it, the month of October is adding Solomon’s Key, NES Open Tournament Golf and Super Dodge Ball. Nintendo of America's Twitter account has now confirmed the games will become available on the October. Nintendo's Japanese YouTube channel has also uploaded a brief trailer to showcase the three Famicom games, which can be seen above.
So many NES games are such basic experiences it’s hard to find interest in this NESquik service
Solomon’s Key is a deep and challenging
Puzzle/strategy game. I loved it as a kid.
Have you played Super Dodgeball? It is a lot of fun. I love the special move for certain players. I miss technos japan
Don't forget River City Ransom. Making totem poles with people, tires, boxes, etc. I must have played that game a thousand times as a kid.
@DrumBeat I love River City Ransom. I only mentioned Super Dodgeball because that is what they are adding to the online service.
I just want my virtual console on my switch... is that too much to ask for? We all know they can do it. So whats the hold up?

Yeap I agree, I prefer Virtual Console system. I prefer to pay for game and to own it.
The problem with Switch online is...NOBODY wants to pay for this shit. They basically took features and put it behind a paywall and added literally nothing new except NES games that nobody Is willing to pay for.
How about they add 3 more features instead.
1. Party chat
2. Messaging system.
3. Local back ups.
Replies(1)I actually wanted them to have a completely revamped nintendo online for a supposed 9th gen console. and what we got was a huge let down. I guess theres always next gen... in 2018 forward... an online has to at the very least match what others are doing and if not... it better be free... and its not and its not
Not saying it is perfect nor am I defending it, as it does lack some features that many people want, but it functions well enough. You can play online, you can chat(regardless if you like how it works), cloud saves work well enough(splatoon should work though) and you are getting NES games, with promise of more to come(clearly from the article) claiming it should be free is both unreasonable and unfair for this price point. If they were charging $60/yr, it damn well better be comparable.
This is no different than people that talk about how underpowered the Switch is(despite the extremely small size) compared to the competition, but are completely unwilling to pay more than $299 for it.
Nintendo is just getting started and it will improve over time. the competitors have had years to collect $ and improve their services. Either get in on the ground floor or wait for that perfect service before you do, but ask yourself what features you would be willing to lose if Sony or MS reduced their services and started charging accordingly.
