Final Fight And Magic Sword Return In 2010

In downloadable form, that is. Capcom just revealed Final Fight: Double Impact, a two-for-one title that will hit the PlayStation store and XBLA in April of next year. The release will play host to two Capcom classics – Final Fight and Magic Sword.

Offering plenty of action, Final Fight follows Cody, Guy and Haggar as they melee their way through Metro City in order to confront Mad Gear. In Magic Sword you play as “The Brave One,” a warrior who must rid an ancient tower of evil forces.

Double Impact is taking advantage of Capcom’s proprietary graphics engine to make the jump to HD. Don’t fret if you are a “purist pixel junky,” however, as you can swap between a classic arcade interface (above) and the smooth mode (below) as desired.

Multiplayer also harkens back to the arcade experience, allowing voice chat and the ability to join games in progress through an open invite system. Leaderboards will undoubtedly facilitate some friendly competition, making it easier to boast to friends without a photo of the cabinet in question.

Are you itching for some classic arcade action? If so, does Double Impact land a spot on your priority list?

final fight never really did anything for me. and i've never heard of the other game. what capcom needs to do is release the arcade version of aliens vs predator. THAT is a game i'd love to play again! also, note to Konami: Simpsons arcade game is looooong overdue for a PSN/Live download.

Yea I'm into old-school side-scroling games such as these. But sadly it wont make the cut this holiday season.

I already downloaded Final Fight on Wii's Virtual Console. Classic game!

Haggar was funny. A shirtless mayor that takes on thugs bare-handedly? What fun!

Love both of these games. Takes me back to my arcade days. It really is a shame arcades went the way of the dinosaur...

Downloadable? Ugh! C'mon, you guys can do better than that! How about a version for xbox 360?? ps3?

Nice. Those were two of my favorite coin-op titles 'back in the day'. I kind hoped they'd do a HD remix version of them because SF2THDR was well done in that aspect but I can definitely live with 'classic' and 'smooth'. I'll keep an eye out for them in April.

I love Final Fight, but I've never heard of "Magic Sword". Can anyone tell me what it is?
by OmegaSpartan08 Tuesday, December 01, 2009 at 01:11 PM

mmm... maybe...

I have too many games to play to consider downloadable games.
by Perry Smith Tuesday, December 01, 2009 at 02:05 PM

Will be lots of fun playing Final Fight. Eager for this to drop.
by Twisted malice Tuesday, December 01, 2009 at 03:07 PM

I used to pop some many quarters in the arcade playing Final Fight with my best friend. I just might have to get this.
by BatmanPrime Tuesday, December 01, 2009 at 03:11 PM

Final Fight is hilarious! Nothing says teamwork than a kick to the face.
by DarkLadySarai Tuesday, December 01, 2009 at 03:12 PM

I played final fight in an arcade once... never heard of magic sword... I may look into this when it comes out.
by Vote 4 Pedro Tuesday, December 01, 2009 at 03:31 PM

I believe I still have Final Fight on my Capcom Classics Collection I disc for the PS2... X-D
