But maybe you've never heard of the legend of Billy Lee and his decision to risk his kidnapped girlfriend's safety in order to keep his karate secrets to himself. If so, feel free to buy away, if only to more fully appreciate the roots of the beat-em-up genre.

This version of Double Dragon was unique, in that it had an "experience" based system that allowed you learn new techniques over time.

Why would i buy double dragon when the infinitely more playable River City Ransom came out just last week?

Is it just me or is Nintendo not really using their VC to their advantage. Meaning that shouldn't they be trying to get more games out than just at least one a week? The NES had alone 600 Games. At this pace it's going to be 11 Years before we see the entire collection on VC.

Keep in mind also that the conversion efforts, licenses and pricing/royalties that go into producing these games onto VC. If I remember correctly, TMNT1 for NES was 600 instead of 500 points. And there's still the whole matter of any RARE™ games coming on VC...

Man that looks umm, eww...
I have the XBLA remake and its awesome. Great with online co-op!

Totally worth it just for that oldschool feeling no doubt, and the achievements are actually pretty fun in this. You can turn off the redone HD graphics as well to get the full oldschool feel.

I'd pay money to not use a 360 controller for a 2D game. They're fixing the RRoD but screw the crapily designed dpad.

D-pad? Okay...I never used the dpad on this game.

I couldn't even bring myself to get the XBLA version, I so detested this game back in the day.
However, Double Dragon 2 will be worth it...
and "Battletoads and Double Dragon"...
and not that last one...

One step forward, two steps back for VC this week.
I don't mind one-game weeks, but it should never be an NES game unless it's something on the order of, I dunno, Mega Man 2.

Damn it! I was hoping for the recently announced Earthworm Jim games!
Alas, I knew in my heart it was but a pipe dream for them to come out so soon after the announcement.

NES or master system???
The master system version was superior and had 2 player co-op.

Master System. Aside from 2-player co-op, it was true to the original and didn't have all the bugs the NES version did.

Alright, another reason to throw my Wii-mote at the TV. If I remember correctly, this game was hard as a mo' fo. Or I suck at gaming.
Either way, my TV is toast.
