Re: Clarifying the Abobo and Bolo mix-up

Nice! Is there scans online of the whole Famicom DD manual?(or the DD2 and 3 manual?) Also regarding cool instruction manual pictures and figuring out enemy characters names, I once saw some nice scans of the 2003 DD Advance Japanese manual. Not sure where it was online though, but it had a ton of n...

Best DD series reviews on youtube?(mini documentaries)

Loved the 20 minute documentary on Poison from the Final Fight series, and saw the link to the new angry game nerd retrospective on the NES DD trilogy. So I went digging and found these IGN history of DD series m DD series review/PC Engine DD2 review m and the new Angry Nintendo Nerd(just about the ...

Re: What would like to see in a new Double Dragon game?

To me DDNeon isn't 2d, but more of the muddy looking decade+ old 3d we keep seeing with these types of releases. It's a huge disappointment, as Wayforward made the amazingly beautiful(to me) Contra 4 and new Aliens games for Nintendo DS. They couldnt have made a new DD sequel done in that same SNES ...

Re: What would like to see in a new Double Dragon game?

2d or 2.5d style. We got Contra 4, Contra Hard Corps Uprising, Contra Rebirth...all 2d or 2.5d. Personally I wish there had been a Nintendo DS sprite based 2d sequel. Sick of all these "new version/remixes" of DD, though the iphone(and from what I saw, the Zeebo) versions were cool. DD in ...

Re: Double Dragon Remake Coming to iPhone and iPod Touch

whoah, I had no idea that was Capcom's intention all along! Thanks for the info/translation and that documentary!

I always find this stuff fascinating. How Zangief was hinted at being gay, or how unwilling Capcom US was in retaining the boss names in SF2.

Re: a new movie?

They made a new Street Fighter film that came to theaters, which somehow managed to be even worse than the 1994 one.

Im a lifelong DD fan, but that 1994 film is just terrible in my opinion(and I love cheesey early 90s films!)

Only new DD animation or film would be strictly fan made on youtube

Re: Double Dragon II box differences?

I actually love the minimalist pixel art closeup style of mid 80's NES titles. However, it's bizarre how we got these terrible blonde mullet generic buff dudes for so many box art covers when the Japanese originals were much better. Strider NES comes to mind. And Megaman 1 for NES=worst artwork ever...

Re: Technos' WrestleFest returns...

Gahhhh...they use the crappy look of those "click here" banner flash "games" you see on websites of questionable repute. Why oh why? They shoulda used the look of the original. I HATE how "HD" games soften the look of arcade pixels(Final Fight xbox, Super Street Fighter...
