Double Dragon Dojo Forums

I can't believe we missed this. This game only came out this year on iPhone 3GS and up. Like the shmups made by Cave, older iPod Touch devices and older iPhones won't play this. It's a Japanese beat 'em up that I hate more than Double Dragon IOS because of the control. I will take Double Dragon's virtual joypad over this virtual joystick any day. The game doesn't look bad. You clearly see where all the extra RAM are going. It may actually be a good game, but I can't cope with that darn virtual joystick.

Looks pretty awesome, wish it were for other platforms, pc, xbl etc.

The sprites are too big for my liking. But I agree, I'm not playing an old school game like that with a virtual D-pad or virtual joystick. These companies should take note: I'm not buying these games on a cell phone. Release them on something with an actual control pad/control stick.

Sprites are ridiculously big for the screen but yeah, looks mildly interesting. Cheers!

The sprites are a little ginormous, but thanks for the heads up you guys! I would've never found this otherwise!

As far as a "physical" controller goes, DojoMaster posted this vid I made a while back on the main page but I thought I'd re-iterate it here..

Blutrol is a MUST for the iphone/ipad!

I mean the ability to play these amazing beat-em-ups with an actual control pad is the stuff that dreams are made of. Honestly' its unfortunate as hell, but these phones & tablets are the only systems that are still getting a steady influx of real games (or retro games as the masses call them)!

You do have to jailbreak your device, and the controller I'm using in that video is a bit expensive, but the makers of the icade are coming out with a cheaper version modeled to make your ipod/iphone more like a psp.

Yeah it's kind of a hassle, but I won't lie, playing double dragon iphone with a real controller is amazing.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to try Fatal Fight!

I've got an iPhone recently and wondered about this but doesn't it defeat the point? Plus, the on screen controls take up half of your viewing area! The idea of putting your iPhone on a TV is pretty cool but I dunno, man... Seems a bit of a waste of time to me.

Still, great video!
