Double Dragon IV

So this came out today… who's playing?

Looks like garbage, why did they use the NES sprites instead of the arcade ones? Why not use the NEOGEO style instead? Cheap nostalgia pandering like Megaman 9 and 10

Because the arcade ones look like dogshit
The best looking 2D double dragon was on the fucking gameboy advance but Double Dragon 2 on the NES was the series's peak

This is some low energy shilling

Eh, I was playing Hotline Miami earlier, saw this on the store cheap. Was a fun of the series when younger.

Yup. Not too far, but it's got that vibe so far.

Also, it's done by Arc, which also caught my interest.

This.
It's a cashgrab.

I had no idea it was out and I love Double Dragon. Great work with that marketing. Maybe I'll pick it up after work.

Arc bought the rights a year or two ago, so they own this and the Kunio series now. That's why you're seeing new titles again after Million sat on the IP for like 15 years.

Play a good Double Dragon game instead of that piece of shit, shameless cashgrab.

Getting Arc System Works to make a game with re-used NES graphics is like getting Ennio Morricone to make a ringtune for a 90's cell phone.

Wasted talent.

Man, the default control scheme is shit for keyboard. ESDX? With keys mapped for diagonals even though you can just hold a vertical and horizontal? Also it doesn't recognize my 360 pad, but I'm not knocking it for that because it might be Wine's fault. First stage is retarded toddler level easy, that's all I tried so far.

Seems like it doesn't require Steam running, so a pirate copy should be up within hours. I'd do it myself but I know people probably don't want steamapi.dll running unrestricted on their systems, and the game doesn't start without it present.

The magic and mystery of Unity.
