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!
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.
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.
How about micromachines, used to love that game, would be great on live. Also some good side scrolling shooters, r-type anyone?
Who Cares! Playstation Network Store rules!
On second thought. I remember Rush 'n Attack being the bomb. I want that one.
Missle command getting a nice makeover and mad tracks looks like a blast.
Um...oops, I guess I'm telling my age.
But yea, it seems there are more anticipated Arcade games this summer than there are actual 360 games.
I can't wait for Double Dragon! I wonder if Mr. T ever got paid for his likeness??
