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."
Titles like Double Dragon, Cadillac and Dinosaurs, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Golden Axe were monster hits and have become classics in the beat ’em-up genre, but one in particular deserves a next-gen reboot.
The veteran game developer and the director of River City Ransom, Mitsuhiro Yoshida has passed away on August 30th.
Sad to hear. Such a legend in game developing and creating some of the most fun games in that era . R.I.P.
Mitsuhiro Yoshida: Thank you for giving my childhood so many good memories with my friends that I can take with me forever. You will be remembered. <3 :')
Still one of my all time favorite games and series. Kunio kun anything and I’m in it. River City Girls 2 better have a farewell or memory.
Creators share development stories on the genre-defining, co-op side-scrolling series, from collaborative two-player action to chaotic friendly fire.
Double Dragon 1 arcade is my favourite. It consumed a lot of my parents' money! Both Pounds and Francs.
'Accidental' friendly fire on my brother was always on the menu too!
Being at my local pizzeria while the Double Dragon main theme played in the background is one of my fondest childhood memories.
When I was a kid every weekend after finishing pain in the ass school. I would always rent DD for the SMS always wished my SMS when I was a kid had the FM sound mod to it DD on SMS with the FM I like. I own DD on SMS now bought it dirt cheap in a game lot and I still love playing it. I wish my parents also bought me a NES when I was a kid so I could have enjoyed the other DD games. I played the DD fighting game on the SNES what a complete mess that game is good thing I rented it. Battletoads and DD was a decent game I enjoyed it on my SNES I have never played DD 2 or DD3 on the NES but they look interesting.
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
Nice. Will definately get RCR.
