Double Dragon on XBLA with Online Co-op!

Before the Wii came along, I was downloading every bit of Arcade goodies I could get my hands on from the Xbox Live Arcade, but post-Wii launch, it’s been getting little love from me due to the Virtual Console and the plethora of NES gaming memories.

However, I am happy to say that Xbox Live Arcade has succeeded to catch my eye once again, you vixen you!

According to Kotaku which is according to XboxWorld.nl, which I can’t read because I am not bi-lingual despite what doctors might say…. Double Dragon will be hitting down on XBLA in MARCH; for a mere 400 MS points. Not too shabby.

The best part; Online Co-op!

The 2nd best part? Enchanced Version!

Now I’ll admit I’ll probably play quite a bit on the old school pixelated goodness version, but its always nice to have the option to bump it up to a bit smoother graphics.

Although with 1st party power houses like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Mario Kart 64 in their arsenal, Microsoft will have a hard time competing for my attention from the Virtual Console, especially once Nintendo rolls out original content for the VC similar to how MS does with the XBLA. Either way, Gamers win! Hooray!
