MonkeyPaw Games, Inc. announced today that Double Dragon is now available on the PlayStation Network starting for $5.99 in the PSone Classics section for PlayStation 3, PSP and PlayStation Vita and has released some launch screenshots for you to check out.
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.
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!
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.
Brawlers were a popular genre both in the arcades and on home systems during the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. Due to games such as Streets of Rage 4 they are now enjoying a resurgence. So, prepare for fisticuffs as we go in swinging into part one, where we investigate their origins and their initial rise in popularity. Enjoy.
Yeeeow, now that is some old school, SNK like fighting game right here.
This was actually quite a decent game back in the day.But Rage of the Dragons was an awesome game that could hang in there with KOF. It's a shame that the developers could never get the Double Dragon license and make it an official DD game.
This is news to me. I didn't know that game was on Playstation 1. I always thought it was on Neo Geo and Arcade machines.
I never knew there was a DD game for PS1.
