Where in the sam hell is this game on Xbox live...? I know it USE to be there, but it's not in their library anymore. WHY the fuck did they remove it, and are they bringing it back?

Double Dragon brings back fond memories of playing the game in the arcade as a kid. It was the very first arcade game, I could actually beat. Too bad, Microsoft de-list the game from the Xbox Live Marketplace. It was going to be the first game, I downloaded from XBLA...

@insanechromeface YEAH WHERE THE FUCK? I use to love this game had it on the original XBOX MAME ahhh so cool. They should remake DOUBLE DRAGON on the xbox360 leave it a side scroller with 3d graphics OHHHH YEAH! elbow, elbow, knee, knee & throw, now get lesbian chick with blonde perm in the purple spandex in a full nelson then let your team mate whip her slow enough for points for extra life but not fast enough to kill the lesbian.

Luckily, I bought this game right before it was removed off of XBLA (company filed for bankruptcy). It's a pretty damn good port if you ask me.

I heard that there is a remake in the works for XBLA but id rather have the original arcade port,no idea why they removed it,maybe some licensing issue or something.I thought i had gone a little mad when i was looking for it to download as i was sure i had seen it there before but yah its gone,shame.

When they gonna give this game the remake it deserves. I have so many ideas it's ridiculous. 4 player coop on an offline with a mixture of castle crashers background with random stuff happening and humor engine, leveling-up and learning new moves.

@endrigosuellen

And, no, this is NOT the best Double Dragon remake ever.

@endrigosuellen

Why are you posting in all caps?!? It looks stupid.

[endrigosuellen]

THE BEST DOUBLE DRAGON REMAKE EVER, THE IPAD VERSION SUCK'S, AND THIS GAME IS ALMOST PERFECT EMULATION OF THE ORIGINAL, WHITH HD GRAPHICS, SAME DOES NOT HAVE THIS GAME ON PSN AND XBLA

[OldsXCool]

IMO Double Dragon on the GBA is the best version even over the original arcade.
