Rediscover the Nostalgia: Classic GBA Game Set to Make a Sensational Comeback After 2 Decades

Highlights

Double Dragon Advance, the acclaimed version of the original arcade game, and Super Double Dragon, praised as the franchise's finest installment, make this release highly anticipated by both long-time and new gamers. Marking its return to modern-day consoles, the timeless game Double Dragon Advance, originally released for the Game Boy Advance two decades ago, is generating immense excitement among fans of side-scrolling beat 'em up games. The wait for the revival of this beloved classic is finally over, with its re-release scheduled for later this year.

Double Dragon, a classic side-scrolling beat 'em up series, is renowned for its popularity and influence. Originally released as an arcade game in 1987, it was one of the first of its kind. The story follows twin brothers Billy and Jimmy, who developed their fighting skills on the tough streets of New York City. With its immense success, the original Double Dragon spawned numerous sequels and eventually made its way to home consoles during the 16-bit era. While fans can easily find and play most of these beloved games, there has been one elusive entry - until now. Arc System Works has recently announced that Double Dragon Advance and Super Double Dragon, two missing entries in the series, will finally be available on modern consoles starting November 9.

The digital release of Double Dragon Advance and Super Double Dragon has been announced by Arc System Works. In addition, they have also revealed a physical collection for the Nintendo Switch, called Double Dragon Collection. This collection includes the two aforementioned games along with four other titles in the Double Dragon series: Double Dragon, Double Dragon 2: The Revenge, Double Dragon 3: The Sacred Stones, and Double Dragon 4. Whether you're an old-school beat 'em up enthusiast or a younger gamer looking to delve into gaming history, this 6-in-1 package is the perfect choice.

Double Dragon Advance is an enhanced reimagining of the original 1987 Double Dragon arcade game. It is widely acclaimed as the definitive version of the classic arcade title and has become a highly sought-after Game Boy Advance game. Released in 1992, Super Double Dragon for the Super Nintendo marked the final installment in the series before its development team, Technos, faced financial troubles. Notably, Super Double Dragon is significantly longer than other entries in the franchise and is highly regarded by both fans and critics.

On November 9th, Double Dragon Advance and Super Double Dragon will be made available for PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
