    I've given it some thought, and I think Double Dragon is a series that needs to be brought to next-gen.  Sure, beat 'em ups are a dormant genre nowadays, but I think in the right hands, DD could make a hell of a comeback.
    If nothing else, it should get the 1942 or Bionic Commando Rearmed treatment, or come out re-mastered on the DS or PSP or something!
    I miss my Double Dragon.

    Errrr... I'm one of those people that think that we should move on and not take a risk in changing a once beloved game or franchise. I totally agree with evolving the game with a sequel, but in most cases, it's been there, done that. To me, though, games like Bionic Commando Rearmed are acceptable because they are refreshing the game intensely rather than remaking it from the ground up.

    Have it go either the Mega Man 9 or Bionic Commando road.

    I'd prefer the latter over the former. Something about MM 9 seems too retro.

    THAT'S a game that would be hilarious to go the way of MM9.

    All 8-bit graphics. I'd laugh my ass off and be a permanent Square Enix fanboy.

    I know the game is on XBLA, I have it.
    But that's hardly the treatment that Bionic Commando or even 1942 got, but I digress
    The Warriors WAS actually an amazing 3D beat em up, and that's the only way I could see a NEW Double Dragon being made on the next gen.
    Still, I'd rather see something like Contra 4, a sequel that plays remarkably like the original, but brings enough new things to make it a brand new game.
