The masterpiece Double Dragon Advance (originally published on Game Boy Advance) makes its long-awaited arrival to current-gen platforms after 20 years. As a remake/expansion of 1987 arcade game Double Dragon, today’s current-gen release incorporates elements from its sequels and home versions to bring back all the action, graphics, and other elements that players have loved – plus five new wallpapers to adorn your screen with dragon debonair befitting a martial arts master.

Retro powerhouse Super Double Dragon (originally released for Super Nintendo as the series’ fourth installment) makes a 30-year return with its first-ever arrival on modern platforms. The current-gen port features the familiar wild adventures of Billy Lee and Jimmy – plus an all-new play speed function for high-throttle combat up to twice the speed as well as five new wallpapers to spruce up the sides of your screen.
