Re: Double Dragon Renegade short film project

Whoah, you've deciphered all of the DD3 signs / graffiti!

I'm really impressed!

Weird NES Double Dragon Ad

I recently managed to get my hands on the short-lived and under-appreciated N-Lords comic series (any other fans, here?). While I’ve been enjoying it for its usual cheesy, 80s goodness, I noticed an ad in issue #3 (November 1987) for the then-unreleased NES port of Double Dragon. At first, I didn’t ...

Re: Biggest Question: Why the graphic change for DD3 Arcade?

many people consider the Combatribes to be the unofficial Double Dragon 3. I'm one of them. I said it years ago, in this older thread. As far as I was concerned, Combatribes always felt more like the rightful successor to DD II, to me, than DD 3. This was even before I learned that it was also a Te...

The similarities to the cartoon are intentional, but can I ask what elements from the movie you saw?

Re: What Was The Point Of The 1993 Cartoon/Toy/Game?

You raise some good points, there. The first time I watched the cartoon as a kid, my sister commented "This is SO Ninja Turtles!" I think the magic swords were more of an attempt to channel He-Man's success. Think about it; The heroes hold aloft their magic swords, invoke the power of (rel...

Re: Clarifying the Abobo and Bolo mix-up

Okay, so it's five years later (!) and DD IV came out, a couple of days ago. I was having a look at the Double Dragon wikia, which seems to finally, FINALLY clarify the issue that started all this, in the first place. I've never been able to confirm the name of the black mohawked head swap of Abobo ...

Re: Double Dragon IV (from Arc System Works)

Overall, I'm less than impressed with this one. you cant expect too much from a 7 dollar game i guess. That pretty much covers it, but seriously, for the 30th anniversary, I expected better. I will say that I did like [SPOILER ALERT] the inclusion of Sonny and DD1 Jimmy. Those were mark-out moments,...

Re: Double Dragon IV (from Arc System Works)

PD: I'm the only one who think that Jake is based on "Animal" from Dragonninja?? He certainly resembles Animal, with similar armor and mohawk. But I think it's more likely that the reference is to what originally inspired Animal: The Road Warrior-look, from Mad Max and from one of Double ...

Re: Clarifying the Abobo and Bolo mix-up

Thanks, I appreciate that you took the time. In the meantime, Wikipedia looks like it's already deemed "Jick" as canon. I'm pretty sure that it uses the same scan, as a reference. Until I see anything to convince me otherwise, I'm going to assume that Wikipedia is wrong (shock and horror!!...

Re: Clarifying the Abobo and Bolo mix-up

Great find, Seimei! And welcome to the DD Dojo forums! Unfortunately, warosu wouldn’t allow me the hotlinks directly to those images (I don’t know if anybody else had that problem), so you can find the thread at https://warosu.org/vr/thread/S3700487#p3722664 Exactly where you end up on the page seem...
