Product Information

Are you ready for a classic beat ‘em up genre game? If so, Double Dragon Advance for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance (GBA) is exactly what you need. Released in 2003, this side-scrolling classic Gameboy game is a remake of the 1987 arcade game Double Dragon, and is based on the arcade game, its sequels, and the home versions of Double Dragon. Just as in the original arcade game, in the Gameboy version you take control of either Billy Lee or his twin brother Jimmy Lee as they fight their way through members of the Shadow Warriors gang. The goal of Double Dragon Advance is to rescue Billy’s kidnapped girlfriend, Marian. In the world of Double Dragon Advance, global nuclear war has left the world in ruins, so gangs control the cities. The Shadow Warriors are interested in getting the book of the "Sou-Setsu-Ken," so they won’t give up Marian without a fight. In this side-scrolling GBA adventure, you can play as either brother or enter a third mode where you play both brothers by freely switching between them. You can also play with a friend by using a Gameboy game link cable. There’s even a survival mode available for playing where you must beat as many enemies as possible with a single life. The brothers are martial arts masters, so be prepared for a beat-them-up, bare-knuckles adventure. They are on a mission, and there is a fight wherever they go as they battle their way through Chinatown, a cavern, a fortress, and on top of a truck with weapons like nunchakus and double kali sticks. Double Dragon Advance for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance was published by Atlus and developed by Million Inc., Paon, and S-NEO. Most of the enemies you encountered in the first two arcade games have returned for another round of battle and they brought a few new enemies to fight you, too. New enemies you need to defeat to inclllude the Twin Tigers, Hong and Huang, the bold Kikucho, and also the Five Emperors who are led by a thug named Raymond. Fighting moves you could not use against some enemies in the earlier arcade games are now part of your character's arsenal of skills, like the hair-pull on the enemy named Burnov. If you’re looking for a classic fun game for your Nintendo Game Boy Advance, Double Dragon Advance certainly fits the bill. While games from the Double Dragon series were also released for the Playstation, Atari 2600, Sega Gensis, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, PSP, and NES, the Double Dragon Advance game is only available on the GBA and GBA Online. Double Dragon Advance does incorporate elements of the other Double Dragon games, but also builds on the Atari and NES versions by including additional levels available only in Double Dragon Advance. The game received positive ratings and is fun to play. If you’re only familiar with the Atari or NES versions of Double Dragon games, this is a great time to be introduced to the GBA version. Dust off your Gameboy and plug in Double Dragon Advance. You’ll be glad you did.
