"The good news: Double Dragon 2 definitely appears to be coming to Xbox Live Arcade. The, uh, different news is that it's a 3D remake of the arcade game. According to Co-Optimus, the game will be titled Wander of the Dragons -- not "Wanderer," apparently -- and is being developed by Barunson Interactive, a Korean developer best known for its side-scrolling MMO, Dragonica.

 

Wander of the Dragons is based on the arcade version of Double Dragon 2: The Revenge, and features new 3D graphics and revamped gameplay. Fans hoping for a faithful remake are in for something of a shock, as the character designs are radically different from the originals, though some may appreciate the more modern approach to beat-em-up gameplay.

 

According to Co-Optimus, the game is slated for a September release with a price of $15. Check out some (possibly upsetting) footage embedded above."

looks crazy interesting; notch (minecraft) says it's a scam, wish i had the details on that.

 

I've read a lot of that over the last few days. The following are all theories, they keep the whole thing under lock and key (another reason they would attract detractors). It can look like they're just holding off for a big buyout.

People are saying that it would be impossible to animate, that it's not even a real tech demo, they don't like that the programmers aren't going into detail about how they're doing it.

Basically, everyone who's feathers would be ruffled by some group of nobodys calling their efforts primitive are upset about it.

:old: see, in my day, that was a free 64-player (?) Quake 2 map from PC Gamer called Coconut Monkey's Box o' death, or something. just a big square with BFGs in every corner and even if you somehow had a network connection, it just meant you were telefragged quicker. if you lived more than a few seconds, you started to think you were immortal.
