Wii-kly Virtual Console Update: 04/28/08

What with Mario Kart launching, Nintendo has seen fit to grace us with only one Virtual Console title this week, but it's a solid title to be sure. Double Dragon, that bastion of heterosexuality is coming to your Wii, so if you can tear yourself away from Mario Kart long enough to download it, you'll be faced with all the goon bashing you can handle. A quick description of the game lies below along with the purchase price.
Double Dragon (NES, 1-2 players, Rated Everyone 10+ -- Mild Violence, 500 Wii Points): Double Dragon begins with Billy Lee's girlfriend, Marian, being kidnapped by a group called the Black Warriors. They demand to know the secrets of Billy's martial-arts style in exchange for his girlfriend. However, Billy won't stand for these underhanded tactics and decides to rescue her himself. Help him fight through city streets, buildings, jungles, temples and various other locations in a quest to find his girl. He'll gain experience by using different fighting techniques to obtain more hearts, which will unlock more powerful techniques to use against his enemies. Keep an eye out for crates, boulders, whips, bats, knives and even dynamite along the way, as Billy can also use them to annihilate opponents. Armed with his mysterious and powerful martial arts, help Billy pummel his way through an array of goons, gang members and other Black Warrior scum to free Marian from their clutches.







Omg, Double Dragon is one of my favorite games ever, at least the NES version. I'm not saying the arcade/neo geo version was bad, but I have more memories with this one
