Mobile retrogaming specialist DotEmu has released its arcade beat-'em-up compilation Double Dragon Trilogy for iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id730919094?mt=8) and Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dotemu.ddtrilogy) devices, following up on its previous mobile ports of R-Type (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/28/r-type-coming-to-android-september-12/) and Out of This World (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/22/psa-another-world-returns-on-ios-today/).
The collection includes the original arcade version of Double Dragon, along with its coin-op sequels Double Dragon 2: The Revenge and Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone. All games offer optional remixed soundtracks, Bluetooth-enabled co-op and controller support, and a new "mobile" difficulty mode that tones down the quarter-munching challenge of the arcade originals.
Bear in mind that the arcade version of Double Dragon 3 is completely different from the widely hated NES version, but it's arguably just as bad; among other things, it served as an early progenitor of paid DLC, requiring players to insert additional quarters for weapons and other in-game bonuses. Fortunately, the mobile version lets you feed its virtual arcade machine with as many credits as you want, making the game a breeze.
