Capcom has announced that the Final Fight / Magic Sword combo pack known as Final Fight: Double Impact will hit Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network in April 2010. In addition to the previously announced graphical filters, viewing modes and drop-in / drop-out co-op, Capcom has also revealed that both games will feature a selectable soundtrack from the people responsible for the excellent Bionic Commando: Rearmed soundtrack. Furthermore, the games will utilize GGPO, a networking library used to essentially eliminate lag during online play.
Oh, it also includes both Final Fight and Magic Sword.

GGPO is the cats pajamas.... it should be the standard netcode for all 2D online gaming (and pseudo 3D fighters.. aka SF4).

+1 for you.
GGPO should be the end-all solution for netcode. Tony Cannon is a genius.

I wonder if they'll fix that glaring typo. Probably not.

Final Fight, I played this game on the most obscure system known to man, the Sega CD. It blew Streets of Rage away with a big ,muscley, leotard wearing gun and I'd say it's between FF and TMNT (Turtles in Time/Hyperstone Heist, The old ones!), for the best classic 2D side scroller ever.
Bring on the Haggard!

I'm not a big fan of either of those games, but if the soundtrack is half as good as BC:R's then I will buy it in a heartbeat.

Is this the first game then? I guess I better give it a wizz as I have never played any FF games

I assuming that they couldn't sell FF a higher price than what it's worth, so they threw in another game to make it seem more complete. I think it's a weird combo, something like Captain commando would seem more comparible. I love final fight, so i'll probably get this when it's released.

Wow, this makes me want to pull out my Sega CDX and play some Final Fight. The sound track of the Sega CD version of the game was awesome. Crazy 80's metal guitar rock!

the people responsible for the BCR soundtrack? It was just one person - Simon Viklund - who works for GRIN.
