Double Dragon, the 8-bit classic brawler, has been announced for iOS systems (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad).

Aksys Games is pleased to unveil the grand return of the legendary franchise that introduced gamers to the joys of side-scrolling beat’-em-up action: Double Dragon iPhone.

Developed by Brizo Interactive, Double Dragon iPhone is an enhanced remake of the original arcade game featuring all new art, music, and extras. Grab a friend or get ready to brave the streets alone, because Double Dragon iPhone will be appearing in the Apple App Store this March.

The Black Warriors have taken Marian hostage, and they present Billy and Jimmy with a grim ultimatum: give up the sacred Sousetsuken scrolls or never see Marian again. Not taking the news lying down, they take to the streets to hunt down the Black Warriors and save her. Equipped with their deadly martial arts prowess and slick street smarts, Billy and Jimmy must carve through an entire army of thugs to see Marian safe again.

Here is a gameplay trailer.

  • Double Dragon for a New Age: Double Dragon iPhone has been completely reborn with new remixed music and all new art and character sprites.
  • All New Double Dragon Experience: With new attacks, enemies, bosses, and even achievements and hidden characters to unlock, Double Dragon iPhone is nothing short of a new Double Dragon experience.
  • Easy Combo and Control Scheme: With an easy to use on-screen controller and combo system, you’ll be ready to take on an entire horde of thugs in no time!
  • Bluetooth Multiplayer: Team up with a friend via Bluetooth in Double Dragon Mode and take to the mean streets together.
