Final Fight: Double Impact to Hit PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Next Year
Capcom Europe just announced today that it will be releasing a special double pack of two HD-updated side-scrolling arcade games for the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live in April 2010.
Final Fight: Double Impact will be a downloadable pack featuring two arcade titles: Final Fight and Magic Sword. Capcom says that both titles will be released using a proprietary graphics engine to make the games “shine in crisp and clear HD glory.” However, purists will be able to toggle back to classic and arcade cabinet modes to get a pixel-for-pixel translation on screen. There will also be a new selectable soundtrack from the composers of Bionic Commando: Rearmed.
The titles will feature online multiplayer complete with voice chat, leader boards and the ability to join games already in progress.
Final Fight is side-scrolling beat-’em-up in the vein of Double Dragon and Streets of Rage with three main characters – Guy, Cody and Haggar – pummeling bad guys in crime-ridden Metro City to save Haggar’s daughter from Mad Gear.
Magic Sword is a side-scrolling fantasy action title featuring “The Brave One,” a fierce warrior who bears the daunting responsibility of cleansing evil forces from an ancient tower.
Both titles were released in the arcades back in the late ’80s and early ’90s and received ports on the SNES shortly thereafter.
