I loved the character designs in that so much.

The 4 characters they used as hidden characters in Matrimelee also made that game so much more sweeter than it already was - even if they were a bit buggy (Jones' call-for-helper move had no hitboxes for example, making it completely safe for evading enemy attacks)

Not OP or >>2741875 but I do definitely understand how to play it. If I were being super generous, I'd move it up to decent. Obviously, once you learn the mechanics it moves up from being "OMGWTF TOO HARD SHIT TIER". The problem for me is that it's a little too easy.
-Enemies have trouble hitting you if you're constantly moving up and down.
-Billy and Jimmy's standing kick stays active for so long that it's easy to bait enemies into walking into it. It also stuns in one hit so you can follow up with grab combo/regrab infinite/cyclone kick for ninjas/nunchucks for bosses. Enemies can't duck it, so it's more consistent than spamming cyclone kicks.
-Billy and Jimmy are completely invincible during a grab, so it's useful for getting enemies to close in without having to worry about projectiles or running jump attacks.
-Chin's standing punches completely decimate all regular enemies and, at worst, trade hits with bosses.
The only real threat to you are the bosses' weird hitboxes and Egypt's shonky platforming.

Double Dragon has always been Hokuto no Ken-inspired in its aesthetics. Especially when it came to their promotional art.

>>2741926
>"no", you probably just don't understand how to play it.
Assumptions much? I didn't think DD3 on the NES was as good as the first two games. I can clear it without much trouble though since all you need is the Cyclone Spin Kick anyway.

>>2741930
I only left out the Genesis versions as far as major ones are concerned and those were just straight ports of the arcade games. None of them were good though, except for DD1 maybe. I don't particular care enough about the 80s home computers ports that were designed to be played with one button joystick.

>>2741934
Other than having 2-player co-op, the SMS version of DD1 wasn't as good as the NES version due to how they messed the combat mechanics in that version. Combos don't work the same way and the way the jump kicks worked was kinda weird. You can't even grab enemies in the SMS version unless they're near death.

>>2742023
Yeah. I forgot about that one too. I like the art style, but could never get into the touch screen controls.

The NES versions of the Double Dragon games are completely different from the arcade ones and not just in the usual "downgraded port" sense. Most people nowadays are familiar with the NES rendition, but the AC version has its fans.

>>2742292
My only gripe with Double Dragon Advance is that they left out the Terminator lookalike with the glowing red eyes of doom from the second arcade game.

Not really. DD1 was only so-so on the SMS and decent on the Genesis (aside from the crappy chiptune and input lag). DD2 and DD3 on the Mega Drive/Genesis were shitty ports of the arcade versions and DD3 on the arcade was already a mediocre game to begin with.

Don't mention anything about how SMS version can have more than 2 enemies, and they can actually be different enemies and not two of the same enemy. The larger number of colors on the sprites also helps. Sure, there are flickering issues, but the master system is closer to the original arcade than the NES, and doesn't involve the crummy leveling system or random platforming elements.

The only problem with DD1 on genesis is the speed of the enemies, which is fixed with a romhack. Aside from that it actually plays better than the arcade because no slowdowns.

The SMS version had problems that didn't exist in the NES version, like the fact that the SMS version couldn't have more than one weapon on-screen at a time and the fact that Rowpers couldn't even pick up and throw cardboxes like they did in the AC and NES version. At least the NES version had you fighting against two armed Williams (one with a dynamite and the other with a bat) at a time. Not that it matters that much, since everyone except Abobo and Willy fights the same way.
>The larger number of colors on the sprites also helps.
The SMS version's color palette is too pastel for my liking.
>Sure, there are flickering issues, but the master system is closer to the original arcade than the NES, and doesn't involve the crummy leveling system or random platforming elements.
The SMS version had flatter level designs than the arcade version though. It didn't even have the climbable ladders/fences that were in certain areas.

The NES version is completely different from the arcade, but I think it's a decent game on its own merits, whereas the SMS version is kinda meh aside from the 2-player co-op.

The Genesis version of DD1 won't respond to your inputs sometime if you press the attack buttons too rapidly. I never had this issue in the arcade version, or any other Genesis beat-'em-up. Also, the music has no excuse sounding as bad as it does on the Genesis and some of the graphics are completely off. Marian in particular was given an ugly redesign.

Double Dragon II pretty much came into existence because the lead programmer wanted to keep fixing all the bugs he left out from the final game and he ended up implementing stuff that the team left out from the final game, so they decided to make it into a sequel. It feels like the game Technos always wanted to make.

I didn't meant traced in the literal sense of course, but it's obvious the Atari artist use the Famicom art (which were pretty stylized renditions of the characters to begin with) for reference without fully knowing who the characters were. Like, why the hell are Williams, Chin and Abobo harassing Linda when she's one of them (I know she's supposed to be Marian, but she dresses like Linda in the NES manual art)? Why is Abobo the same size as the other bad guys? Was Chin (the Chinese guy) even in the Atari version?

The word you're looking for is "referenced", not traced.

The Atari cover looks like someone handed an artist the promotional art in >>2744496 and then gave him a copy of The Warriors on VHS and said "take these guys and make them American."

To be fair, Double Dragon's whole visual style was inspired by Renegade (the American version of the first Kunio game), which in turn was inspired by The Warriors. Even the bad guys in Double Dragon are called the Black WARRIORS.

Was it just me or were the Jeffs (the Lee brother palette swap enemies) were cheap in the Genesis version? They were tough in the AC version to begin with, but they could hair grab you more easily on the Genesis.

Double Dragon 3 was really weird. Your punches barely had reach, the character animation was pretty horrible and the US version featured microtransactions in fucking 1990.

The arcade version and its ports of that are nothing. The NES version is the only one that is matters - in anything but a negative way.

It was outsourced to another developer, but Kishimoto (the original Double Dragon creator) oversaw its development and even named the game after one of his favorite '70s bands.

I'm not particular fond of either, but the NES version allowed you to play as a ninja. That counts for something.

I will always love the intro tune from the atari Ste version. My older bro and I wore out many a joystick whip kicking barrel throwing dudes and 80s as fuck women. Weirdly the game had no other music, just meh sfx and the memorable "wah" of the women when they got ko'd

Most home computer games in the 80s were like that. Since storage space was a luxury with floppies, they usually only had two music tracks at best, a title theme and an ending theme. Occasionally you might have one or two background music, but that's that.

Well, that must mean the original creator intended to be making DD3, it that doesn't imply they had faith in the outsourced version. Maybe time constraints meant that the NES version was easier to get done for them, or more likely, they deemed it more important.

Yeah, it did technically have a a ninja, but you can't forget playing as a king-fu master with a belly-flop-of-death. Cause, more capable character and all that.

It was outsourced cause Technos's arcade division was busy with other projects such as WWF Superstars and Combatribes at the time and apparently there was a huge demand for a third Double Dragon arcade game since the first two games were pretty successful. I'm not sure why they didn't wait until they were over with their other projects before working on DD3.

Oh, arcade division, that makes sense.

Wonder why they didn't instead port the NES version to other systems, if the master system and PC engine were still being supported, those would have been an excellent candidates. But PCE's single controller options were, well, anti-double.

Even a solid port of the NES version to the genesis and PC would have been preferable.

Technos only supported Nintendo consoles until a few years just before they went out of business when they did those Neo-Geo games, along with Popeye's Beach Volley on the Game Gear and Geom Cube on PlayStation.

All those Double Dragon and Kunio ports on Sega and NEC consoles and such were actually licensed versions made by other companies, so Technos themselves probably had little choice in the matter regarding which games they choose to convert.

Acclaim were the ones who produced the Double Dragon 3 port on the Genesis and Game Boy.

He complains that there's not enough enemy variety and that it's too old-fashioned, but the 2P co-op is nice (I'm guessing this and Rushing Beat were the only 2P beat-'em-ups on the SFC at the time). The common complaints in the other reviews are that it's too slow-paced, the characters are too small compared to beat-'em-ups, and it's barely an improvement over the 8-bit NES versions.

Famitsu reviews back then could be really harsh if they wanted to.

I don't think they really have any bias against beat-'em ups. Golden Axe on the Mega Drive and Batman Returns on Super Famicom both scored above 30 too. I just don't think they cared about specific genres unless they were RPGs.
