I was always partial to the DD2 NES box art.
Reminds me of Fist of the north star.Was this actually drawn by Tetsuo Hara, or is it just a shameless ripoff of his style?
The original DD on SMS was SO good. Played that game to death - and bragged to my NES owning friends about its 2-player awesomeness.
A rare victory for Sega back then.
Yeah. Outside of the games based on the cartoon & movie, Double Dragon has always been super grounded and truly captures what it is like to be a martial artist in a Bruce Lee-style martial arts movie. When you take a look at their moveset in Double Dragon 1, you can see how brutal their fighting style actually is by incorporating elbows and knees, and straddling guys to bash their face in mercilessly (also not to mention they're not against using crude weapons & knives).Double Dragon really was a joyful bastard mashup up Bruce Lee, The Warriors, Mad Max, and everything else that was popular with the target audience of the day. I wish Way Forward had gone with a serious, loving take on the unintentional hilarity of the franchise instead of an over the top, too-cool-for-this parody. They got it wrong. The feel of DD was mid-to-late 70s grindhouse, not mid-80s kitsch.

Now if only the game itself looked like that.The Double Dragon Neon art looks like it was drawn by a yaoi fan.

I really hope WayForward is going to overhaul the graphic style of game. If it looked anything like the artwork, I'd be ecstatic.
Talk about ugly boxart. Good lord, it's all bad!
Mark Dacascos is a B-movie legend.Jimmy is the best.
:/Whoa, Jackie Chan is in one of them. So is David Bowie. Didn't know they made a Battletoads & Double Dragon.
That's not the only problem, considering the story for that game.I always wondered about this cover , Why does Jimmy Have Marian? I thought she was Billy's girlfriend.

Hell no, all these art boxes shows the culture of the time. A lost art in today's industry.
NES version looked, sounded and played infinitely better. I really don't think 2-player mode made up for all the flickering, headache-inducing colours, annoying music and horrible animation of the MS version.
The Double Dragon Neon art looks like it was drawn by a yaoi fan.
Eh...I don't know about that - They both having horrible flickering. I'll have to play them again to be sure, but pretty sure the NES version was the uglier of the 2.
NES version was a better game tho - but if you wanted the arcade, SMS was the closest you got back then.
I played the fuck out of the Tiger Electronics version back in the day, less so of the NES version.
So I still love this art...

Super Double Dragon is the second best after Double Dragon Advance.Was the SNES Double Dragon actually any good? I missed out on the rest of the games after NES DD II.
The Japanese Art for Double Dragon 2 is beautiful.
I still have the poster that came with the game.
Should frame it.
Am I the only one that liked and beat Double Dragon 3 NES?
Hirohiko Araki, in the same style of Jojo part one (almost contemporary of Double Dragon in fact), which actually had a sort of Hara 'inspiration'.
No fucking way, he's Iron Chef? headexplode
Better than the Zeebo one? (or no clue cause you haven't played it like most people in the world?)Super Double Dragon is the second best after Double Dragon Advance.
