[NA] Virtual Console release for this week (of 4/28/08) : Double Dragon!

StarJet | 18 days 4 hours ago | News | Wii 
Double Dragon! Yay! Not so much "Yay!" these days, but it was a good game in the NES era. But Nintendo continuing to release only one game per week seems to be annoying some VC players.
But let’s be realistic. What could that game possibly be? Ninjas, kung-fu, twin brothers, a gang leader named Willy, girlfriends! This game could not possibly exist, it would contain too much awesome for an NES cart to hold. But wait, what does this press release say? Ninjas? Check. Kung-fu? Check. Twin brothers? Check. A gang leader named Willy? Check. Could it be? Girlfriend’s being kidnapped for blackmail? Check! Double Dragon (NES, 1-2 players, Rated Everyone 10+ — Mild Violence, 500 Wii Points) has arrived.

    I used to love Double Dragon back in the day. I remember when they had a game where they teamed up with another group, I forget but they were like the Ninja Turtles.

        Oh, yeah. That was pretty cool. (Though I don't really remember the "battletoads" part. )
        True NES goodness.Anyway, were some Double Dragon games on the Genesis as well?
