Our review of Lost Eidolons, an ambitious new RPG that's out for PC and coming to #Xbox later: bit.ly/3DecU7z LostEidolonsRPG 4 days ago We think #APlagueTaleRequiem is great, but could have been better with some more development time:… /i/web/status/1… 4 days ago Three games that recently made the jump to new platforms - here's a look at Them's Fightin' Herds mane6dev), the… /i/web/status/1… 3 days ago Next Next post: Vitamin Connection review (Switch) Search for: Search Twitter Updates If you have fond memories of the original NES games then you’ll no doubt appreciate the work that went into this collection and the ability to play them once more, but the lack of arcade versions and the fact that many games didn’t age well makes this less interesting to anyone not in that category. Besides the obvious benefits of the translations, many games also supports 2 to 4 player multiplayer sessions, either locally or online – adding a layer of modern technology to these old classics from over thirty years ago. The versions on offer might be limited to the NES editions, but they’re some of the best versions you can get. While none of the games here feel like classics that have truly stood the test of time very well, it’s still a collection that’s worth picking up for nostalgic reasons. Speaking of which – where’s Hyper Sports R? There are quite a few sports games here, ranging from basketball to dodgeball and even the Kunio-Kun take on Konami’s Hypersports athletics games.

The moveset is limited, as is the hit detection, and the visuals certainly didn’t hold up well.Īnother thing that’s worth pointing out about the collection of games in this “brawler bundle” is that many of the games aren’t actually brawlers. There’s a certain charm to playing these very early beat ’em ups, but they definitely show their age and haven’t aged all that well. Even Double Dragon itself feels very limited, especially compared to games like Final Fight or TMNT, which appeared on the scene just a year or two later. The games themselves are a bit of a mixed bag, and not just because they’re limited by the original NES hardware. Four of them are just Japanese versions of games that also have an English version though, so in terms of unique games it feels fair to say you’re getting fourteen rather than eighteen. Best of all, however, is that no fewer than eleven of the eighteen titles here are only being released in English for the first time – and they’ve all been fully localized. For the enhanced games in the collection, you can do things like play them without flickering or lag, and you can re-map controls for the games that were originally awkward in that sense. Luckily, a lot of love went into this particular bundle, and some of the shortcomings of the original releases were remedied. This is a bit of a shame, because in my humble opinion the arcade versions are superior in terms of the graphics, the control options (some games had to be tweaked to work with the NES’ two button gamepad) and the multiplayer features. It’s worth pointing out that, although many of these games started out as arcade games, the versions included in the bundle are actually the NES editions. From the Kunio-Kun lineup, Renegade is probably the best-known classic, along with River City Ransom – both are included in this collection. It never received the kind of recognition that Double Dragon did, which is especially well known with western audiences.

We’ve seen that particular series quite often in recent years though, with River City Girls being a recent spin-off. It’s no surprise that this particular collection leads with Double Dragon in the title, though the bulk of the (eighteen!) games in the pack fall under the Kunio-Kun brand. One title that’s pretty much always included, however, is Double Dragon. You’ll hear Final Fight, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage or – if you’re more cartoon-inclined, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or even The Simpsons. Whenever a beat ’em up is released, people are always quick to reference the classics of the genre.

We tested the Switch version for this review. Although its title is a bit misleading, it does provide us with a trip down memory lane filled with both classics and curiosities. The Double Dragon & Kunio-Kun: Retro Brawler Bundle is out now for the Nintendo Switch and the Playstation 4.
