Double Dragon Neo Geo...one of the best DD games?

It had been quite some time(about 15 years) since I last played the Neo Geo Double Dragon game. I remember it being way better than "DDV", and given it was actually from Technos, I considered it more of an official game. Having recently fired up the ol MAME, I've really taken a liking to D...

Sequels To Renegade..or River City Ransom?

We all know that Technos Japan's first beat em up forray into arcades was called Renegade in the US, and "Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun" in Japan. They would later create a chibi version of the Kunio-Kun series popularized in America as the "River City Rampage", "River City Sport...

Double Dragon EX

From the looks of the screenshots and youtube footage, it has the flow/feel of Double Dragon Advance. Including the Chinatown level. Not sure who some of the new characters are tho m m m http://doubledragon.kontek.net/games/dd/images/ddex4.gif Given it came out in 2005 and has a similar feel/design ...

Re: Double Dragon Remake Coming to iPhone and iPod Touch

Just poured through the videos you uploaded! Was cool to see the addition of bonus stages as well as two new exclusive levels besides the classic stages. I think I like the way they kept the classic stage look more here than DDA. I definitely like the look of the new girl bosses, at least in drawn f...

Re: Abobo study/sketch (Now with Burnov,Chin,Abore, and Will

Oh yeah, the SNK official art is amazing. I also remember pouring through that Udon Street Fighter/Capcom art books, so crazy. I've seen a LOT of great SNK and Capcom art from Korean illustrators too. Your coloring so far reminds me a bit of the style seen on the DDi painted characters and a bit of ...

Re: Double Dragon Remake Coming to iPhone and iPod Touch

http://wireless.ign.com/articles/115/1154925p1.html I bought this the first day, and I'm not loving it. I actually agree with IGN about this game. As much as I wanted to like the game, I can't deal with the controls. Bad controls and cheap enemies make for a very unpleasant gaming experience. I fin...

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: Double Dragon arcade Vs Steets Of Rage 2

I always suspected the look of SDD was partially based on the color pallette/look of Streets of Rage

Re: Double Dragon Fighting Game Now Available on PSN

Strangely one of my favorite DD games...and to me, a lot more faithful to canon and overall DD aesthetic than a lot of the other games(DD3 arcade, DD"V", etc)
I just ignore the crappy movie cut scenes and enjoy it as a kind of pseudo sequel/spinoff from Super Double Dragon.
