EGM cover the PC-Engine version, but didn't do it justice.
Double Dragon II: The Revenge (PC Engine) English Subtitled Playthrough
The SCD version is crazy expensive (like 200$ expensive) though.

Power Knee in this?
I want this!
Crazy ?, but any idea how large the DL file size will be for PS4? I live in a place that has limited internet, but I can DL smaller things. I can't stream, a la Hulu r Netflix, but a smaller DL file wouldn't be a big deal.
In 2 Player B mode which enabled Friendly Fire, if Player 1 killed Player 2, player 1 would gain an extra life, and player 2 killing player 1, gains player 2 an extra life.
You could effectively make it so you'd always have full lives during the play through if you let the other player to finish you off when your health was low to effectively trade lives back and forth.

This came out of left field. DD II stands, next to Final Fight, as one of my all time favorite beat 'em ups. Ton of fun 2P, too bad that there is no online multiplayer. Really looking forward to hearing some of the new music tracks, too.
Why didn't I know this...
That's my take on it. Return of Double Dragon is clearly Double Dragon 4. This is ignoring it as an excuse to use the NES graphics for cheapness of development or nostalgia.I kinda think they retconned that as an excuse to use DD2 graphics and moves. I don't know that for a fact but it doesn't really make sense otherwise.

DD really needed defensive options though.But Return of Double Dragon is basically a totally different game which is why it's actually not numbered as Double Dragon IV. It tried to make Double Dragon into Streets of Rage and I personally think it doesn't compare to DD II on the NES. I don't think they picked the NES graphical style because it was cheap, it was because I think the look embodies Double Dragon the most to me. There's maybe some nostalgia but for good reason...DD II on the NES is a masterpiece.

I've tried to get into Super Double Dragon to no avail.
Love Double Dragon Advance though.
I get absolutely no Streets of Rage vibes from RDD. SOR is a much more simplistic and flashy style in the Final Fight vein. To me RDD is clearly an extension of the DD2 - DD3 continuum of ideas of getting more technical with each entry.But Return of Double Dragon is basically a totally different game which is why it's actually not numbered as Double Dragon IV.

Try Return instead, it's better.I've tried to get into Super Double Dragon to no avail.
Love Double Dragon Advance though.
Thanks! Sold!Right there in the OP, pal:
PS4 version got delayed in Japan
WOAH. WHAT THE FUCK?
This seriously exists?
How did I not know about this? I freakin love DD!
Want to learn about two unique Japanese versions of Double Dragon II? Check out my column that looks at Double Dragon II for PC Engine Super CD and the Mega Drive version.
I wouldn't call the arcade version iconic. The NES versions are what a majority of people remember.
Fairly certain that the former isn't true, and I don't recall fondness for or reverence of the look of the arcade versions ever being commonplace either.
The NES version was only big in the US and Japan specifically, guys... The arcade version swept the whole world, it was huge in Japan, NA, Europe and SA.
US gaf seems to consistently not realize the NES was not a hit at all in Europe (33.5mil units in the US vs 8.3 in Europe. 250mil people living in the US in 1990 vs. 721mil people in Europe).
Not sure why this US centric interpretation of video game history is so commonplace. Huge events like the video game crash were contained to one single region yet get treated like industry shaping events on a global scale, which is just not true.

In celebration of Double Dragon 4, ive done a run through of Double Dragon 1 on the NES....

it still plays really well!!!
i'm not sure it's worth 7 bucks... maybe 2.99 imo with the 7 missions i played so farI have no problem dropping $6.99 on this but I'd like to get some impressions first lol
I think that's always what it was, the game had great ideas and isn't bad at all. It just had a lot of flaws holding it back, 30 fps being one of them.
