Re: Clarifying the Abobo and Bolo mix-up

Something it made me wonder about is this: Given that "Jeff" is not mentioned in the original materials, but Taimei is, do you suppose it's possible they were originally intended to be the same character? They're both the boss of Mission 2, and they're both a sort of evil-Bruce-Lee-type (...

Clarifying the Abobo and Bolo mix-up

I know it's strange to bring this up after all this time, but I really never found an official source confirming the names of the enemy characters in the arcade version of the first Double Dragon outside the KLOV entry for the game and as some of you may know, KLOV features mostly user-submitted inf...

Re: Double Dragon Neon

It's possible they're both variants of Williams, seeing how they're both around when the name "Williams" is displayed (unless the white guy has his own name introduction during the kidnapping sequence), but it would be lame if that's the case (especially if they pull a Battletoads & Do...

Re: Double Dragon Neon

Aside for the graphics, what bothers me the most about Neon is how the game's developers and marketing people barely talk about the actual game system (i.e. the "gameplay"). It's all about how they're "not taking anything seriously" or how the lead developer wants to include a Ba...

Re: Double Dragon Neon

This is the current build of Double Dragon Neon http://youtu.be/ygwkXEEFChI Again, not being on iPhone already makes this game better than Double Dragon iPhone. Can't argue with that, but I would've liked something a lot closer to the earlier games for Double Dragon's modern console debut, somethin...

Re: Double Dragon Neon

That aside, I might get something thrown at me for saying this, but I kinda like the character designs, for DD Neon. Seeing as I shared my thoughts on the Neo-Geo DD designs, I figured I’d do it again, here: The palette-swap style just looks too silly on 3D models. I know it's supposed to be a thro...

Re: Double Dragon Remake Coming to iPhone and iPod Touch

I don't think Zangief was ever supposed to be gay though. All the speculations started when a fan-written plot guide misinterpreted Zangief's official profile in the Japanese version of Alpha 3, which stated that Zangief disliked "cute girls". I don't think that automatically means that he...

Re: Double Dragon Remake Coming to iPhone and iPod Touch

I thought that's what the vid said? Really? My mistake, I only saw the first few minutes and didn't realize that what he was clarifying. Sorry. I sometimes wonder whether Poison would've such a huge following if it wasn't for all this false controversy about her true sex. Personally, I think the fe...

Re: Double Dragon Remake Coming to iPhone and iPod Touch

Sorry, but that video is a bit inaccurate. Poison and Roxy were already established to be transsexuals during the game's development, it's not just something they made up for the Super Famicom version's manual. The design sheets for the arcade version have an illustration of both of them labelled &q...

Re: Double Dragon II box differences?

The funny thing about the Japanese DD1 arcade flyer is that it was drawn by Koji Ogata, the game's actual sprite designer, who didn't have much experience drawing (since he was mostly a dot artist). Even Kishimoto himself makes fun of the flyer in his site by pointing out that Billy looks like a mon...
