Wow they did a remake of the classic. Brings back memories from the arcades. Hope this one lives up to the expectation.

Damm, this is worthy of a update. Lets hope its casual enough like the original with simple button mash controls and none of the left, right, up, down, tap left, tap right, square, circle, half circle, left button, double tap square, up, down, pause (0.5ms) double tap left... Combo nonsense.

I think there will be a degree of that, but hopefully watered down. The original had a button combination iirc. Punch and kick together would give the OP back Elbow which would help u finish the game

Two I can cope with... I think

Good, then do Target Renegade!

There's been multiple DD releases over the years, the most recent being DD Gaiden which was released last July.
Not sure what to make of this announcement. 3d and beat 'em ups doesn't tend to work.

Exactly, i must sunk hours in the arcade playing double dragon, first time i beat it, it was so enjoyable. I remember the next challenge was to beat it in one go. Those were the days.

I thought Sleeping Dogs worked pretty damn great...

Sleeping Dogs most definitely is not a beat 'em up. Think Streets of Rage.

Overall, no, but from what I recall the many fighty bits were essentially button-mashing, with a couple of simple key-combos or attack strings.
It's how I'd expect a 3D beat-em-up to work best.

remake ?

so is this Double Dragon just for the todays tech ?

im still waiting for Double Dragon to be released, just an amazing beat em up that i spent money on

I remember the original fondly on the sega megadrive!

It was my favourite arcade game growing up. Have it on a diy arcade can I built for the kids and enjoy playing it now and again with them.

I suspect this won’t live up to the wonders of the late 80’s.

They need to take the Streets of Rage route. Sometimes less is more
Give the originals a face lift and then they can chuck their own vision in as a bonus

ShiWarrior · 2024-07-19T15:47:38+0100

yeah just needs facelifts , golden axe, double dragon, renegade, green Beret etc

ZXSpectrum · 2024-07-19T16:29:11+0100

Golden Axe is being done

Streets of Rage 4 was awesome. There's another SoR game currently in the works, a 3D affair that's probably going to turn out terrible....hope not though.

Also a 3D Golden Axe game....we all know how awful the previous 3D GA game was.... I just want GA to get the SoR4 treatment.

The new Shinobi games looks like it could be decent though
