On the heels of Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons‘ launch, two classic Double Dragon games are getting modern ports this November.
If you love Double Dragon, you have some retro goodness to look forward to this November. Arc System Works has announced they’re bringing Double Dragon Advance and Super Double Dragon to modern platforms at last! These classic beat ’em ups will launch digitally for $10 (each) on November 9th.
For over three decades, both games have been hailed as the epitome of action games. Originally published on Game Boy Advance and now making its way to modern consoles, Double Dragon Advance is a remake/expansion of the 1987 arcade game Double Dragon that incorporates elements from its sequels and home versions. Players take the roles of protagonists Billy Lee and his brother Jimmy as they must master their martial arts skills in the fight against the Black Shadow Warriors to save BIlly’s girlfriend and martial arts student, Marian.
Super Double Dragon was originally released for Super Nintendo as the fourth installment in the series. Players on modern consoles will see Billy Lee and Jimmy return in a wild new adventure that takes players through city streets, jungles, and temples in the quest to once again save Marian (now a policewoman), who has been kidnapped while investigating the criminal group known as the Black Shadow Warriors.
Double Dragon Advance and Super Double Dragon will hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PCs on November 9, 2023.
