Double Dragon: Wander of the Dragon going to XBLA, which is a full reboot of Double Dragon 2 in full 3D.

That looks... really bad. At least from that video.

I love beat'em-ups but even I'm not enticed by that video. It doesn't look impressive but more importantly it doesn't look fun.

I kinda wish they'd revive the NeoGeo fighting game:

For some reason I kept reading it as a Dragon Age 2 reboot and was like wtf.

I just realized D typed "Double Dragon 2 Reboot"... Shouldn't it be remake? How do you reboot a sequel? Doesn't "reboot" suggest the franchise canon as a whole is rebooted? It's 2:40 a.m. I need sleep!

Well, they're trying to reboot the series from Double Dragon 2.

I don't know why they didn't just take Double Dragon 2: The Revenge as it was in its 2D glory, get it running right, and just release that on XBLA.
That game rocked at the arcades and on NES.
