Irvine, CA, November 12, 2003
– Atlus U.S.A., Inc. announced today that is has shipped "Double Dragon" for the
Game Boy® Advance to retailers nationwide. This enhanced version of the game
will feature stages, modes, techniques and enemies not seen in the original
arcade game.
Story:
A global nuclear
war has left the world in ruins. There are no laws, and no authority to enforce
them. It is a world in which violence rules and only the strong survive.
Amidst the chaos, gangs emerged as the new elite. Several gangs eventually
joined together to form a larger organization known as the Shadow Warriors,
which seized control of the city and now rules it with an iron fist.
On the outskirts
of town, twin brothers Jimmy Lee and Billy Lee contemplate their future in the
aftermath of the war. Their beloved Kung Fu gym is now nothing but rubble.
Although
they managed to survive the cataclysmic event, they were left with nothing but
their martial arts abilities. And so, the two brothers practiced their Sou-Setsu-Ken
training day and night.
But one day,
Billy’s girlfriend Marian is kidnapped off of the streets, and the brothers
receive a letter. It reads, "We have Marian. If you want to see her again,
bring us the secret book of Sou-Setsu-Ken by 10a.m. tomorrow morning." Billy is
both angry and confused by the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend.
Little does he know that his own brother also has feelings for Marion…
"We are very pleased to have secured the publishing rights to
this well-known classic," said Jim Ireton, VP of Sales at Atlus U.S.A., Inc.
