Final Fight : Double Impact is a PlayStation Network/Xbox Live Arcade re-release of classic Capcom arcade titles Final Fight and Magic Sword. Reviews have been decent. It’s an explosion of nostalgia (come on…a game whose plot features the town mayor going vigilante to save his daughter??? That’s almost as good as the ‘story’ from Bad Dudes!). It also comes with the following message if you happen to unplug your PS3 from the Internet.
"Sign into PlayStation Network. (80029516)"
That error code does mean that the game in question has a PSN login requirement. The 360 version doesn’t appear to have any such need to have a connection.
Now certainly, it’s likely that anyone buying a game through an online store is going to have their console online. It’s also rather amusing that a remake of two games that are each 20+ years old has an online connection requirement, though.
