From Major Nelson's site :

"400 points will get you 'Double Dragon' which will be available this Wednesday on the Xbox Live Arcade.

Some of the the features include:

  • Two-player co-op multiplayer locally or over Xbox LIVE
  • Special extras such as a look at the original Japanese and U.S. "Double Dragon" sales fliers
  • Gameplay with either the original graphics or with new high-definition graphics
  • All new music
  • Hints and tips for newcomers
  • Three leaderboards
    ...and more"

Not sure whether this is old or not.

I probobly won't be picking it up.  Not that it's not a good game, on the contrary actually, anyone who hasnt played it and has an appreciated for old-school games should definitly get it.  I've just played pretty much all of the retro classics that have been coming out on Live Arcade before... to death... so there's no point in forking over $5, for me.

New properties though, like Catan and Geometry Wars?  Totally worth the cash.

Does anybody know when they say "New Hi-Def graphics" do they mean like Jetpac Refuelled graphics or just some minor upgrades?

Basically the textures will have higher resolutions and will look sharper.  Nothing quite like how they totally revamped the graphics for Jetpac.  It's still called Double Dragon, so there won't be any vast changes.  Taking Jetpac for an example, they changed so much they tagged it Jetpac Refuelled
