Play Double Dragon Advance Online
Double Dragon Advance is a side-scrolling beat ’em up for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Million and published by Atlus. It remakes the 1987 arcade game with roughly twice the stages, new bosses, and moves drawn from later entries, including the rising knee, dash punch, and wall jump. Billy and Jimmy Lee fight the Shadow Warriors using fists, bats, and chains.

“` Two notes: sources give the North American date as November 12, 13, or 18, 2003, so I listed the month only. No scanned manual turned up, so the button assignments follow the series’ standard layout — the moves themselves (dash punch, wall jump, brother switching) are documented for this version.
