Prepare to relive the saga of street brawlers Billy and Jimmy on a smaller screen than ever before. A newly enhanced version of coin-op arcade classic"Double Dragon"is coming soon to iOS platforms -- that means you too now, Verizon-folk! -- from publisher Aksys Games and developer Brizo Entertainment. If you actually need any more convincing than that, you can find some details after the jump.
The press release is short, sweet and to the point. The nature of your adventure is unchanged from the original: street-brawling sibling do-gooders Billy and Jimmy Lee must punch, kick, swing and throw their way through an army of punks in an effort to save damsel-in-distress Marian from a vicious street gang, the Black Warriors.
What's new is basically everything else. The original game's music has been remixed. The background art and character sprites have all been spruced up for modern audiences. You'll also be able to hit harder with a range of new attacks, which are balanced out with the introduction of new enemies and bosses. The enhanced version will also feature an assortment of unlockable characters and achievements. Of course.
Controls will be situated on the screen, but there's no way to know how they'll feel until our fingers are actually manipulating it. There's also a new system for executing the brothers' combos/special attacks, presumably one that takes advantage of each device's touchscreen capabilities.
Best of all, co-op multiplayer will be a reality thanks to built-in Bluetooth connectivity for the game. It's not quite the same as standing next to your buddy in a dimly lit, smoke-filled backroom arcade, but let's be honest here: is that really such a bad thing?
