10 Upcoming January 2017 Video Game Releases To Look Out For
5. Double Dragon 4
What is it: Out of nowhere, Arc System Works recently announced the newest chapter in the Double Dragon series, and that it will be a retro sequel to the NES trilogy. Whaaat?
Original team members involved in the classics, including Yoshihisa Kishimoto, Koji Ogata, and Kazunaka Yamane, are back to create the fourth chapter in the Double Dragon series. That is, if you ignore Super Double Dragon and Double Dragon V, which you probably should, in all honesty.
It remains to be seen if this retro return is one worth revisiting. While the original designs are nice, the visuals are no Shovel Knight, and the wonderful Double Dragon Neon already took the beat 'em up genre back to the '80s in a modern style with aplomb, so reverting back to 8-bit basics feels like it could be a mistake.
Luckily, with the game coming out so soon, we won't have to wait long to learn.
When's it coming out: 30 January.
