Re: Unproduced Double Dragon TV pilot

Popular games from the 80s that are still in the mainstream never really went away (Mario, etc). I too cannot think of a real return that did really well (I'm sure there is some argument for SF4 but it has always had its fans desperately awaiting the next installment and the lengthy period without ...

Re: Find of the day... (DD arcade review from back in the day!)

I don't think any of the enemy characters from the arcade games were officially named (or least publicly revealed) until the home versions. In fact, the only sources I could found that the gave the names of the enemy characters from the arcade games were the manuals for the Master System and Mega Dr...

Re: MSX version - I don't buy it...

Its a definite bootleg. The developers were a South Korean game developer that did several bootlegs games for the MSX, including an unlicensed port of SMB1.

Re: Question - Did Jeff ever use weapons on the arcade version?

To answer the thread title, no he didn't. Neither did the mohawk Abobo. They could in DD2.

Re: Observation about DD on XBox Live

It has nothing to do with popularity at all. Empire Interactive, the publisher of the Xbox Live Arcade version, went out of business around this time last year. As for TMNT: The Arcade Game, it still appears on the official site as "TMNT 1989 Arcade". Maybe you're searching using the wrong...

Re: Streets of Rage 2 opinions...

Dean doesn't really look that much of an Axel Stone clone. If anything, Axel's more of a Cody clone and I always thought of Cody and Guy as Capcom's answer to Billy and Jimmy. Even Yoshiki Okamoto admitted that Final Fight was partly inspired by Double Dragon in an old Gamespot interview. The popula...

Re: Kunio-Kun no Chou Nekketsu! Daiundoukai

To be honest, I haven't been following the Kunio series since Super Dodgeball Brawlers, which I found to be mildly disappointing. The only upcoming games I've been keeping track of are Hokuto Musou and MGS: Peace Walker.

Re: Double Dragon 2600 in the latest edition of GamesTM magazine

I never understood why they even bothered making an Atari 2600 version. I can understand the various computer ports, like the ZX Spectrum version, since every popular arcade game from the 1980's had at least one computer port, but its not like the Atari 2600 was still a profitable gaming platform by...

Re: What's going on with Kunio on the Wii?

m Arc System Works opened a portal site for the Kunio-kun games they're publishing for the DS and Wii, even though they haven't announced actually any Kunio games for the Wii yet (other than the Virtual Console rereleases of the original Famicom games, which are not even mentioned on the site). I do...

Unused Music in Double Dragon 3 (arcade)

I found this tune from the arcade version of DD3 by using the M1 game music player. It never actually appears in the game itself, but it was recomposed for the NES version and used for Mission 5-3 (the player where Hiruko places the three Sacred Stones to open the door). I wished they would've used ...
