Capcom has slipped IGN the info that Final Fight will be making a comeback in April of 2010. Dubbed Final Fight: Double Impact, this single digital download will contain both Final Fight and Magic Sword. Those with access to the Xbox Live Arcade or the PlayStation Store will have the opportunity to snag it. No pricing details have been announced as of this writing.
Both Final Fight and Magic Sword are old-school side-scroling beat-em-ups. Magic Sword puts players in the shoes of The Brave One in a fight against he forces of Drokmar. If you didn't already know or hadn't guessed, this is a fantasy-themed brawler. Final Fight, meanwhile, takes players along for a ride with the iconic Cody, Guy, and Haggar as they fight across six stages of Metro City against Mad Gear. Cody and Guy will also both be playable in Super Street Fighter IV.
This release will have two visual modes, one that will "make the games shine in crisp and clear HD glory," and another that allows players to use the original look. Both games will support leaderboards and online play with drop-in co-op allowing players to join a friend's game already in progress.
The border art is pretty awesome. I've never played this (Magic Sword) game, is it any good?
Hope we get more of these beat-em-ups as bundles.
Give us Shadows Over Mystarra please Capcom. (T_T)
Pretty sure they don't have the rights to those anymore so they can't re-release them.
We're better off asking for Cyberbots and Powered Gear. :drool
We know. WE. KNOW. :( :( :( :( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Then again, they lost the Marvel license and appear to have it back now...
yeah ichi, its on! I'll be Haggar. :bow double lariat :bow2 best move ever!
Smooth, it has the usual bullshit emulation smoothing filter (which looks like ass) but not much else is spruced up as far as I know. I dont mind so much as Final Fight still looks and play great. But an HD remix along the lines of SFII would have been awesome!
Red Earth is not a good game, and would be the absolute worst choice to port if they can get CPS3 working on the 360.

Screw Warzard, it's just a fighter.
I demand more 2D beat-em-ups. What non-licensed 2DBEU titles other than Captain Commando and Knights of the Round does Capcom have? Warriors of Fate? Nevermind, that's licensed...
that's jaleco
Capcom's The Punisher arcade game was totally fucking great. At least its my personal fav out of all their arcade brawlers, yes, even more so then Aliens vs. Predator.
Did that Sengoku collection for the PS2 ever get released anywhere?
eeek! Well, if youre feeling better tonight "jump in" and we can play ;)
Hope youre feeling better soon man.
