Final Fight: Double Impact Preview
Capcom has a legacy that dates back to the times of quarters and continues. Ghost & Goblins, Capcom vs SNK, and Bionic Commando have all seen their days in an Arcade machine. Of the wide list of games that have seen their arcade days in Capcoms lineup they have chosen to resurrect Final Fight and Magic Sword for next gen consoles via downloadable combo game.
Double Impact really resonates with fans of the series and gaming veterans. It will have gamers coming to check it out and see what’s new. There’s ‘The Vault’ which houses all your accomplishments throughout both games, it’s fun to do for all those completionists and unlocks some cool stuff too. The game is re-mastered version of both games, Final Fight and Magic Sword. It is originally presented in an arcade machine format with the game screen taking up the middle section of your television. It adds a great retro feel to the whole thing which I think is exactly what they were going for.
The next gen transfer brings a lot of great features to the table. Online Co-Op is a much welcomed edition where you can drop in and drop out and even set your status to invite only, friends or open just like in Street Fighter IV, and even be anti-social with a No Online option. However if you choose this your stats wont be tracked on the leaderboards. It also features offline co-op for those who want to make use of it.
So if you’re a fan of Final Fight or Magic Sword of you just love retro classics keep an eye out for Final Fight: Double Impact coming out April 15th on Xbox Live Arcade and PSN for $10 or 800MS points. Keep it here for our review of the game and all the coverage you need of Haggard, Guy and Cody, and the Warrior guy from Magic Sword (Does he have a name?).
