CES 2010: Hands-On with Final Fight: Double Impact
Mega Man 10 wasn’t the only hot retro game that Capcom had on display at CES 2010. Final Fight: Double Impact, the upcoming downloadable twin pack featuring the arcade version of Final Fight and the massively underrated Magic Sword, was also available for play within the company’s spacious Planet Hollywood suite.
We’ve already discussed some of the game’s finer points in our interview with Robby Zinchak (associate producer, Final Fight: Double Impact), but we’re focusing on the Final Fight experience in this mini-collection, as well as Magic Sword. The early verdict? Retro gamers have much to look forward to this April.

If you’ve thought it was a Capcom lovefest around these parts thanks to the ongoing discussions regarding Jetpack Attack, Mega Man 10, and Cody’s inclusion in Super Street Fighter IV, prepare for one more round of the warm fuzzies. As promised, our interview with Robby Zinchak, Associate Producer, Final Fight: Double Impact, who kindly filled us in on the upcoming title and the franchise as a whole.
Final Fight is considered by many, myself included, to be the face of beat’ em ups along with Double Dragon and River City Ransom. What’s allowed this game, and franchise, to be continually beloved after all of these years?
I think Final Fight has endured through the years because it features simple gameplay that’s a lot of fun. You can put a quarter in the arcade and immediately know how to play, no instructions required. Playing through the game with a buddy is a great co-op experience. Final Fight’s nostalgic gameplay still holds up, even today.
Play Virtually Any Old School Console Game For Free
Okay, people, you need to go to thesmartass.info#, click on Games on the left hand side, and enjoy the old school nerdiness that will be unleashed in front of you. I’m talking about hundreds, upon hundreds of games from your childhood days. It’s been forever since I was able to play X-Men 2: Clone Wars. Now, I can spend forever trying to get past the first level on my Mac.
Seriously, you need to go here now. You’ll enjoy almost any game you want from Atari, Nintendo, Genesis, DOS and more. It may very well be the ultimate TimeWaster.
Data East Arcade Classics Is Wii-Bound In 2010
“The President has been kidnapped by Ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the President?”
Yes, folks, Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja (possibly the most kickass title that has ever graced videogamedom) is back, along with 14 other memorable titles from Data East’s vaults, courtesy of Majesco Entertainment. Data East Arcade Classics features such wonders from yesteryear as BurgerTime, Heavy Barrel, and the absolutely delightful Magical Drop III, which is my all time favorite puzzler.
Designed for the Wii, Data East Arcade Classics will allow gamers to link their high scores to their Mii and accomplish 75 different goals that unlock undisclosed bonus material. Plus, all 15 games support single player, 2-player head-to-head and co-operative multi-player along with Wii Remote and Nunchuk, Classic Controller or GameCube Controller compatibility.
