You had to know that this one was coming eventually, right? After all of the time I spent talking about the Double Dragon Trilogy arcade titles brought to Steam recently, and my Retro Reflections on Double Dragon and Double Dragon II: The Revenge, it was pretty much inevitable I was going to revisit Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones for the NES. Problem is - I always hated this game.

This game was part of the swansong for NES, and decades later it’s now a case of a historical curiosity which may be enjoyable to those genre enthusiasts with an acquired taste."

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
