Classic Capcom arcade brawlers available in new double pack

It looks like 2010 will be a year for retro fight fans to celebrate as Capcom has just announced the arrival of a new download pack due to hit next April that contains not one but two old-school classics, Final Fight and Magic Sword.

The pack known as Final Fight: Double Impact will contain versions of the side scrolling beat-em-ups but with improved HD visuals Alternatively, purist pixel junkies can toggle back to classic and arcade cabinet modes to render the game in its original form. Complementing the new visuals is a new selectable soundtrack adapted by the highly acclaimed composers responsible for Bionic Commando: Rearmed.

The multiplayer features will allow gamers to relive these classics with friends online. “GGPO” network technology creates a ‘frame-accurate’ arcade experience across the internet with online voice chat and the ability to join games in progress. Thanks to the open invite system, other fighters can jump right in and contribute some classic butt-kicking to the cause. Leader boards for both games track scores to compete and compare for bragging rights.
