VC Monday Madness: Double Dragon

by David Hinkle { Apr 28th 2008 at 9:45AM }

This week sees a lone wolf of a release on the Virtual Console. And, to kill the sense of suspense as to what the game is (unless you like to, uh, read the title of posts), we already knew it was hitting today. That's not to say the game isn't good, though!

This week's Virtual Console release is:

Double Dragon (NES, 1 - 2 players, 500 Wii Points)

As usual, be sure to stop by later for our video wrap-up of this week's releases, complete with commentary and direct-feed game footage. We hope to see you there!

It's not really worth picking up if you have an Xbox 360. :P If not, though, stick it next to River City Ransom and enjoy some eternal bliss.

Don't get me wrong, I loves me some Double Dragon... but why didn't they include some Super Mario Kart along with today's release? I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants that game...

You're definitely not the only one that wants it. Having SMK on the VC would be easier than switching my SNES on and blowing into the cartridge... I can't imagine what their commentary on the DoubleDragon would be. It'd be fun though.

Personally, I've still got 800 Wii Points in the wings for Phantasy Star IV. I played RCR on an emulator a while ago and wasn't too impressed with it (though, I gotta say, it was a billion times better than Double Dragon).

As for the retro-titles being released, I was very disappointed not to see Smash Bros. for the 64 come out last month. They spoiled us with Metroid Week and now I feel like the VC ain't got no lovin' for us when major titles come out.
