I don't think it's a new double dragon fighter. It's most likely a completely new game. Technos made the Double Dragon fighter, and they went out of business ages ago. Nobody picked up any of their licenses, either, sadly...

I've had suspicions that this title might be the sequel to Garou also. The only thing missing would be the word Garou... which seems to strongly point to it being something else.
Still, Garou: Rage of the Dragons sounds like it would fly. Isn't it fun to conjecture? :D
Whatever it is I just hope it has unique gameplay. I could really use something different about now... I'm still a sucker for a good 2D fighter, but I'm finding myself more partial to 3D fighting genre than ever.

Hmm, from the limited amount of characters in the poster I'm starting to wonder if this game will be a beat-em up instead of a fighting game... Stillt hat art looks cool (get him/her on KOF 2k2)

By the looks of it, it looks to be a brand new fighter. I'm glad, because I need a new fighter. Well, I wasn't a big fan of Sengoku 2001, and am not looking too forward to Metal Slug 4, but at least this is a brand new fighter. Let's see what the Gouketsuji team has in store for us......

As of now, I have no clue what it could be. THose two guys could be Bily and Jimmy Lee. Or maybe Ryo and Kings AND Robert and Yuri's sons. Or it could a totally new plot! Looks like we'll just have to wait to find out. Neo Geo land looks so cool :) Is that the one that the Capcom vs SNK level is based on?

The probabilities of this game being a double dragon one are the same as another double dragon movie being in production!

Let's reflect on the content of the poster shall we?
1)The two male characters look similar...quire possibly BROTHERS! 2)One has brown hair and the other is blond 3)One is wearing blue and the other is wearing red 4)behind both of them are a red dragon and a blue dragon
THAT IS SO DOUBLE DRAGON!!!!!!!
If this isn't a Double Dragon game then it's a blatant rip!
If the characters are not named Billy and Jimmy then their names are probably something like Willy and Timmy.

That game was by a US studio, IIRC, so I don't hold Technos responsible for that little farce (based on the really bad US cartoon).
Not that the Neo Geo fighter was any better...-.-

I hold Technos responsible for Gowcrapper and that godawful DD fighter based on the ultra-fugly movie.

Wow, there's so much mystery around what 'Rage of the Dragons' is...
I just hope it gets a home port -_- my local arcade sucks and feel so dirty using emulators when I would be willing to pay for a game if it was made avalible to me.
(if 'Rage of the Dragons' is an AoF game set in Garou times, how long until we get a cool "King of the Fighters" series involvng Garou/RoD characters?)

You can try to insult my intelligence or dumb down my argument but it's not going to change how viable the evidence is given the fact that from simply LOOKING at the picture we see(once again):
1)The two male characters look similar...quite possibly BROTHERS!(Just like Billy and Jimmy) 2)One has brown hair and the other is blond(Just like Billy and Jimmy) 3)One is wearing blue and the other is wearing red(Just like Billy and Jimmy) 4)behind both of them are a red dragon and a blue dragon(Just like Billy and Jimmy)
Oh let's not also forget the Title:
"Rage of the Dragons"
Hmmm Double Dragons
There are TWO Red and blue DRAGONS behind the Red and Blue guys that look similar.
Sounds like "Garou:Mark the Wolves"
Given the fact that members of the Garou team has left their mark for a new generation of fighters...and example of this is:
Terry "The lone wolf" Bogard->Rock Howard

Well, to be honest, it's not really an issue worth arguing about... but since both Technos and Data East are defunct, and nobody bought licenses from either, I don't see this as being a new Double Dragon game. Most likely, a completely new game. There ARE a lot of heroes out there who could be said to resemble Billy and Jimmy, and the dragon is a pretty generic image in games.

I agree...but it's not hard to consider that the rights COULD have been bought. Also when was the last game beyond a Double Dragon game that has two guys who look alike who wear red and blue and are represented by red and blue dragons in a title about Dragons?
Like I said before...if this isn't a Double Dragon game it's going to be a spinoff or something.
Whatever the case may be I have a feeling this game is going to be something special ^_^

Quite possible...maybe the creators sold the rights before the company went under...or maybe they are just collecting royalties. We won't know until a later time...maybe an interview or maybe we can check out the credits...I am going to have to play and beat my old Double Dragon games to compare them with the new game.
