MCV:
Arc System Works has acquired a number brands formerly owned by Technos Japan Corp.
AGB reports that the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue developer has purchased all of the company’s IP, which is currently owned by Million. This includes Double Dragon, River City Ransom and Super Dodge Ball.
Double Dragon will perhaps be the most recognisable name for many. The 1987 arcade outing (which was ported to Sega’s Master System by Arc) appeared on a large number of platforms and spawned a number of sequels throughout the ‘90s.
Arc System Works has formed a capital alliance with AQURIA, the companies announced.
AQURIA is more a RPG maker according to the article...so the prospect of an rpg that looks like guilty gear strive has me excited.
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.
Today Nexon Finally announced the release window of the first DLC character for the fighting game DNF Duel, developed by Arc System Works.
