First porting of the super classic belt-scrolling action games "Return of Double Dragon" and "Double Dragon Advance"! Double Dragon Collection", a set of six titles from the series, will also be released!

Although game genres have become much more segmented in recent years, they used to be a bit more broadly defined in the past. Among the many game genres, the " belt-scroll action " game was probably the most popular genre in arcades and home video games. A certain hot-blooded hard man, a certain pizza-loving turtle, a certain city with a strong mayor, a certain golden axe, and so on... There are too many titles to list, including those that are still in series today. Among them, the "Double Dragon" series is the definitive belt scroll action series. The relatively high level of difficulty and the hardcore worldview made this series very popular in arcades and for home use. I, too, played "Double Dragon II: The Revenge" on the Famicom (NES) system as a child. The latest title in the "Double Dragon" series, " Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragon, " was just released on July 27, 2023 (Thursday), and now it has been announced that the legendary masterpiece that has not been playable on current consoles will finally be ported! The "Double Dragon" series, of which "Rise of the Dragon" has just been released, will finally be ported!
