Something tells me it's probably going to be hard to re-make and release any WWF games any time soon. I'm sure they'd have an easier time re-making that Godzilla game.

Now, are we SURE its the actual Double Dragon rights this time?
Double Dragon has a history of really convoluted trademark ownership. See: the fully completed Neo-Geo Double Dragon fighting game THAT CAN NEVER BE OFFICIALLY RELEASED |

I want a new Double Dragon for the 3DS, Vita, or both.

do you mean the one that got the names changed to "totally not the double dragon characters" (rage of the dragons)? also, I have been told this means doom for the indie developers who are working on a river city ransom game. |

I believe it's the Double Dragon fighting game from 1995 (surprisingly decent fighting game): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Dragon_%28Neo-Geo%29
Apparently, Rage of the Dragons was supposed to be an official sequel to Neo Geo Double Dragon, but Million (formed by ex-Technos Japan staff) owned the rights to the characters, so they had to turn it into a homage. |

I'd love to see the new Guilty Gear engine used to develop new versions of the classics.

You mean the one that was based off the awful movie? |

That would be so hype. I think I'd like to see a new Dodge Ball. Call it Super Dodge Ball Hyper. On the GG engine. Next level. |
