Online Play Coming to All Retro Games on iiRcadePaul Acevedo

The announcement of online multiplayer for all retro games came during this week's livestream. Every week, iiRcade founder and CEO Jong Shin hosts a livestream on YouTube in which he and other staff show off games and features such as online play, which is currently in alpha status. During the latest stream, iiRcade revealed online play in Breaker's Revenge, Double Dragon, Data East's Hoops, Magical Drop 3, Out ZoneSnow Bros. 2, Gunbird, and Windjammers - four of which are co-op titles!

The iiRcade is a home arcade cabinet that can be used in either bartop or upright configurations. It comes with 11 pre-installed games, but the chief selling point is that iiRcade also allows users to buy and download individual licensed arcade and indie games. iiRcade offers several models with different skins and slightly varying features. As a lifelong Double Dragon fan, I chose the Double Dragon Bundle, which set me back $599 plus $49 shipping (there was no sales tax).

iiRcade Home Consoles feature an arcade-inspired design, so they don't quite resemble existing arcade cabinets. Each unit includes a removable base, allowing the console to function as either a countertop arcade or a stand-up arcade. The monitor is 19-inches (Arcade1Up screens are 17 inches), and the stereo sound system offers 100 watts of power. Some models feature Sanwa arcade sticks, and storage for games ranges from 64 GB to 128 GB.

Nintendo might be churning out new games quite slowly on their Virtual Console market (about 1-2 games per month on average), but we are glad that some co-op classics are making it onto the Wii U and 3DS scene; Double Dragon being one of them. If anyone can recall not too long ago, this game was rebooted on XBLA as Double Dragon Neon, which certainly has its loyal fan base. However, if you want to relieve the golden days of gaming, then these Virtual Console versions are a fine way to start.

It's time once more for a video edition of Co-Op Classics. Today, we are in beat-'em-up mode, with two great examples of this teamwork-heavy genre. Double Dragon is arguably the most influential brawler of all time. Knights of the Round is a solid, flavorful offering from Capcom's heyday.

Everything old is new again, it seems.  Retro remakes are all the rage right now, and with so many different systems to release on, anyone can have easy access to the classics of yesteryear.  One such vintage powerhouse coming to a phone near you is Double Dragon.  If you're not familiar with Double Dragon, stop what you are doing and read the Co-Op Classics article covering it; it's one of the most influential games of all time, particularly from a co-op standpoint.  A few years back, Billy and Jimmy made their way onto XBLA, and next month, they're headed to iOS devices.

It's one of the most influential video games of all time.  Two brothers.  A kidnapped heroine.  A trek to the distant lair of an evil overlord.  The description might fit Super Mario Brothers, and that game is excellent, for sure.  But this is Co-Optimus, and only co-op will do.  We're talking about Double Dragon, a game that is synonymous with co-op; indeed, for many people, it was the first co-op game they ever played.  We'll take a closer look at this genre-defining brawler for this week's installment of Co-Op Classics.
