Overview
Description

Billy and Jimmy Lee return from training to confront a new threat in Egypt, guided by a mysterious fortune teller. The quest for the Rosetta Stones leads them through side‑scrolling levels filled with enemies and hidden weapon shops. The game introduces size‑changing power‑ups, energy boosts, and extra lives, while moving to more realistic character graphics. Play solo or with a friend in classic co‑op beat‑em‑up style.

Double Dragon Advance brings the iconic side‑scrolling brawler to modern platforms, expanding the original arcade experience with fresh levels, enemies, and combat mechanics. Play solo or team up with a friend to punch, kick, and grapple through city streets, Chinatown, caverns, and an enemy fortress to rescue Marian. Developed by Million and published by Atlus, this 2003 remake features enhanced graphics, a deeper move set, and the full spirit of the Double Dragon series, now available on PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
