Must do. I'm in the mood for some 8-bit.

This looks amazing

Haha, great trailer. Very suprised Nintendo hasn't had things to say about this (all in all it should be okay under "satire" right?, but some of the music is definitely copyright).

After learning of Bit Brigade this morning, I hope they do live concerts of this one day.

umm...ok. I feel like the trailer spoiled the entire game

Weird, I just commented the other day in the article about the new Shank 2 trailer about how I'd love an updated Double Dragon. I'll have to check this out.

Edit: This is AWESOME! There are so many homages to old NES titles in this game it's ridiculous! It's only a matter of time before Nintendo shuts them down, I'll bet.

Oh funny, but i would play it tho
by Chris Mrkvicka Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 03:32 PM

This looks absolutely awesome. They need to have an Abobo with hair either as a selectable character or an unlock.

This game is great. Played it last night for about 1.5 hours. Double dragon part was short but zelda part was hilarious. I made it to the mega man part. Brought back some really fun memories but without the brutal, frustrating difficulty.

Awesome! I saw a preview a few months ago, and I've been wanting to play it since.
by raiden17 Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 05:12 PM

I never thought I would see the day Double Dragon's Abobo stared in his own game.
by Delancey The Mad Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 05:18 PM

Get this game fast because Nintendo might get B*tchy about this and close the game. Just like that Awesome Streets Of Rage game last year.

Hehe...I know what I'm doing for the next hour

ran out of lives right as I was about to fill my rage meter while fighting giant old man
by JonServo Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 07:41 PM

Now THAT was a trailer.
by Matt The Hedgehog Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 08:05 PM

Pfft! That game sucks! Whoever made this crappy game, is going bankrupt and is gonna get this game banned! Besides, this crappy game can't outsell Arkham city. Neiher can Harry potter games -l-.

OMG this is freaking EPIC. This is what I will be doing this evening instead of going to bed.
by durararaGO95 Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 10:09 PM

its pretty hard and easily rage inducing. i definately wont be able to play this during school i would rage during classes
by Solstice Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 10:16 PM

Games I loved to play when I was a kid...omg that was awesome!

I forgot what it's called but what's the title of the game at 0:55?
by Harvester of Sorrow Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 10:31 PM

Abobo! Abobo is awesome!
