I would expect after the success of SoR4 they would be looking at their back catalog for other games to get that kinda remaster/sequel. I mean, as I understand one of the best Golden Axe games never even left the arcade.
They brought back House of the Dead 1 (also because Sega lost the original Master copy and hardware for the game) and Panzer Dragoon. The latter is actually getting a remake sequel for Zwei. Which I'm excited for the most. Sega should also bring back Comix Zone and Vector Man. Though admittedly, some of the Japanese on don't like CZ, but it mostly boiled down to one guy that's not even there anymore. At one point in the early 2000s, Sega did try to bring back Vector Man, but canceled it when everyone realized nobody wanted a Halo clone.
One of the biggest sins Sega has ever done. There's still no reason for them not to port this on digital stores or modern consoles.
Uhhhh..... Hmm.... Uncertainty growing.
The only decent grace is that it looks somewhat optional, but I really wish developers would stop trying to ride the Rouge-Like/Lite train. Not every game, nor every genre needs them. If it were its own separate mode, I would be more lenient, but I gotta see more footage and explanations of how this works out. If this gameplay mechanic becomes too intrusive, I'll just stick back to playing DDIV.
Looks at page...
Yeah, they turned Marian into MvC2_Jill. That's a change I don't mind. Glad to see the character in more active roles. You can only be the damsel-in-distress so many times before it gets old. Great job on that Modus and WayForward.
Wasn't she also supposed to have been a martial arts master who taught Jimmy and Billy?
It varies and depends on the version. In the original story the arcade game (on its story description from the soundtrack and some manuals from the home ports): Marian is a part time assistant martial arts instructor, but not on the same level as Billy and Jimmy. The intro to the arcade game, NES game, GBA Remake, and Neon do nothing to convey this. Her going down in one gut punch makes the backstory highly dubious and sounds like something they made up on the fly or as an after thought. This was back in the old-school days where most didn't care about story or kept things really simple.

I have my concerns, but the more I see, the more I am interested. I know nothing of the developer, other than them making Streets of Red. Which I heard is good, but I have no interests. The last Double Dragon game came out in 2017, so it's this or nothing. DDIV is nowhere close to a bad game, but I know it's not what some people wanted. It got unfairly compared to DD Neon. I like Neon, but I got sick and tired of playing it a long while back. Plus, that game ain't exactly perfect either, and has plenty that annoy me. IV does have something over Neon. Bonus content with extra modes, and unlockable characters you can use in the main campaign. Neon has the campaign, and that is it other than harder modes.
