Like a Dragon Gaiden Receives New Details and Screenshots on Story and Characters

Don’t be paralysed by choice this August on Netflix. There may be dozens of new shows and movies coming to the streamer this month, but we’re here to help you zero in on what’s actually worth watching.

Nostalgia is a helluva drug – and Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is being injected right into our veins. It’s a reminder of a simpler time when gaming wasn’t defined by frame rates, and no one gave a damn about internet forums and “opinions.” It’s a time when someone would pick up the controller, walk their pixelated character around the screen, and kick the tar out of bad guys with Chad names until the credits roll.

Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth is the next mainline Yakuza game, essentially Yakuza 8, despite its rather confusing name. It serves as a continuation of both Kiryu and Ichiban's stories, and might just be taking the series to a new setting.

Cook, Serve, Delicious is coming back with a ‘Re-Mustard’ (that’s a remaster - you have to admit, it’s a good pun) that adds a new campaign, typing mode and a bunch of other shiny new features to the fantastically intense meal-making PC game. The game is being revamped with new visuals, music and even a rebuild of its code to help it run in 60 frames per second, if that matters to you in a game about stacking burgers.

Ratata Arts has released the first gameplay trailer, information, and screenshots for newly announced rhythm strategy game Ratatan.

It's the year 199X, and nuclear war has devastated New York City leaving its citizens to fight for survival as riots and crime engulf the streets. The city has been overtaken by criminal gangs who terrorize its ruins as they fight for total dominance.

Speaking to Push Square during Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons' July 2023 release, developer Secret Base's Raymond Teo described adding highly replayable roguelite elements to create a brawler with an ingenious way of counteracting the beat-'em-up genre's innate repetitiveness.

The humble beat-‘em-up, like so many fan favourite franchises, is enjoying something of a renaissance on modern consoles, like PS5 and PS4. With the likes of Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge proving immensely popular on PlayStation platforms, it was only a matter of time before Double Dragon returned to the limelight.
