Final Fight: Double Impact

Capcom have announced that Final Fight: Double Impact will be released on Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in April next year. The package includes HD renditions of the original Final Fight as well as the fantasy inspired Magic Sword.

Here are short descriptions of the games from the press release:

"First up is Final Fight, where players follow the heart-pounding adventures of Cody, Guy, and Haggar - three heroes fighting their way across crime-ridden Metro City in hopes of saving Haggar's daughter from the evil clutches of Mad Gear. There are 6 stages filled with perilous challenges where the only hope for justice is the unique fighting techniques mastered by each character. With the news released last week that Cody and Guy will both be playable characters in Super Street Fighter IV, Capcom fans now have the chance to take a trip down memory lane and experience these characters in their first appearance before playing them in the new Street Fighter game.

In Magic Sword, users will take on the role of the "The Brave One," a fierce warrior who bears the daunting responsibility of cleansing evil forces from an ancient tower. As a consequence of his actions, he will inevitably meet the source of this scourge upon humanity - the dark lord Drokmar. But fear not as the hero is accompanied by eight allies who will lend their assistance through out the game. All of them bring specific skills and talents to contribute to the fight. It's an amazing side-scrolling action illustrated in classic fantasy stylings, making a perfect pairing with Final Fight."

Sounds like good times come April...
