They just issued the license. Virgin was responsible for that garbage, as well as some other atrocious games. Dojo Master 8/4/04 Hello! Thanks. I'm surprised at how many Europeans email me saying how much they love Double Dragon. I had no idea that area of the world was so into it. We'd all love to see a 3D Double Dragon. Who knows, it just might happen. I can guarantee this site will not shut down within my lifetime. I've seen too many sites come and go but this one won't. I don't know what's causing your problems with FilePlanet because I'm certain that the links are correct. We can't get rid of it. You see, we have free hosting and unlimited file space given to us graciously by Classicgaming.com and along with the banner ads we have to use FilePlanet. Considering how much we get from this deal, it's more than a fair trade. Dojo Master 5/26/04 I finally got my hands on a copy of Double Dragon 2 for MegaDrive/Genesis. I got it really cheap too! I have to say it isn't nearly as bad as people have been saying it is. In fact it is my favorite Double Dragon out of the Genesis ones. It does have a bit of slowdown but that just makes it like the Matrix! Steve Wow. I'm surprised to see that somebody actually likes a game with slowdown. I prefer a little faster pace with games though. Only one Double Dragon game was released for the PC Engine: Double Dragon 2. It's a bit strange that they picked the second game only and not the rest. We'd love to see Super Double Dragon dx also. Hopefully Atlus gets some ideas. Thanks for your compliments. Much credit goes to Game Kommander for letting us reprint the article and Johnny Undaunted for translating it. Dojo Master 4/14/04 Double Dragon Advance contains these tributes to Bruce Lee - the brothers forward jump kick is exactly the same as Lee's flying jump kick from Game of Death (vs. Kareem Abdul Jabbar). Lee is on the back of the truck in Level 4. And check these pics out! Mikey Yes we've noticed these things before thanks to our staff member Johnny Undaunted. Atlus has also confirmed them. But just in case anybody didn't notice before, here are the obligatory shots again:
Dojo Master 2/27/04 I had just found a little discovery when on the third level of
Double Dragon 1 for Nintendo (the greatest game system in the world! :). When you are
fighting Will in the cave after beating up Chin, there's a cliff off to the left side of the screen that you can't see. But if you throw him to the left of the screen, then he's dead because he fell of the cliff. I was wondering if you or anyone else knew that because I find some neat things on DD 1 often. At first I never realized that people had discovered the trick with
Linda's whip turning into a bat. Brandon Thanks. We'll probably never stop receiving emails notifying us of newly discovered glitches. Dojo Master 2/23/04 Who is the band that sings on the Double Dragon Arrange Album?? That girl's voice seems familiar. Akumu Hau You mean the music in the arranged Double Dragon II music album? The remixes
were done by Kazuhiro Hara and Nobuhito Tanahashi. I don't know who did the vocals in Dead or Alive (the J-Pop rendition of the Double Dragon) though.
You got me there. 2/8/03 Double Dragon Daria as silly sequel? Maybe not. A sarcastic teen fighting the Shadow Warriors and teaming-up with the Dragons wouldn't fly.
Though Capcom did release Mega Man Soccer and Tradewest/Rare did Battletoads/Double Dragon, so I wouldn't be surprised if Atlus did. Seems to me Atlus is the only third party publisher on the GBA that gets me excited about new games. Though I do play all my games via Game Boy Player. Tyrone Warbasse Let's all hope for a 3D Double Dragon. And let's hope it doesn't have the Lee brothers beating up a giant octopus. Dojo Master 2/1/04 Double Dragon Advance is a great game and truly a game for the fans. Here's my thoughts for the sequel. The sequel should take a more unique approach, one that will impress not only Double Dragon fans but fans of fighting games in general. Artificial intelligence: if someone was trying to beat you in the head with a baseball bat, would it not be a wise idea to disarm your opponent? "enemies climbing ladders in pursuit of you" Timed moves: kneeling for excessive, and extended periods of time, making you invulnerable to enemy attacks is borderline lame. If this wasn't in Double Dragon 1 I wouldn't excuse it. Better graphics engine: Less of the same, Double Dragon Advance was an excellent remake mixing elements of several Double Dragon games-"genius" but I would like to see Double Dragon 2 have more evolutionary characteristics to it, like when Double Dragon 2 for the arcade was totally remade for the Nintendo. Being a fan myself, I think Double Dragon 2 should be made for the Nintendo D.S. "Nintendo's new handheld system'' It's a more capable system and its coming out this year. Thanks for your time..... A Pringle Nice ideas. I'm sure Atlus won't disappoint us with the next game, but chances are that it's skeleton will consist of the arcade sequel. Chances are that we could end up with three titles on the GBA like Castlevania fans did. I have no clue if Atlus is interested in the DS. Dojo Master Great site—very informative and I love the fan art. I’ve always been a big fan of the NES Double Dragons (despite their flaws), especially Double Dragon II.
I’m in the process of making a MUGEN fighter with NES Double Dragon sprites.
I’m not releasing it publicly or anything; it’s just a hobby. I just always thought it would be cool to see Chin vs. Ranzou, Princess Noiram vs. the Shadow Warrior, Williams vs. Gibson, Willie vs. Jim, etc. Until I learned about MUGEN, I never thought it would have been possible.
But, I digress. Thanks. To answer your questions: The name of the blue ninjas from
DD 2 is simply Ninja. He's basically a nameless character. Yes. Chin from DD 1 & 2 is the same guy, Mr. Taimei. Chin Seimei from DD 3 is his pissed off brother. Dojo Master I have played all versions of Double Dragon One Two Three
and Return of/ Super Double Dragon. My opinion, Double Dragon Advance is a mixture of all versions.
Which is great, superb. If they were to make a sequel I would like it to be like
Double Dragon Two: The Rise of the Dragons, or something. Something completely new.
Same game play. Different levels, different enemies, etc. I must have the music though. Without the music Double Dragon isn't complete.
I actually work out to Double Dragon soundtracks. Langley The good music from Super Double Dragon was basically the remakes of old themes such as City Slum, which appeared in DDA. But if you want SDD original music in the next game I would recommend the themes from levels 1 and 4. I'm sure some people might be getting tired of Willy but don't forget that DDA is as much a remake as an original game. When we get an entirely new game I'm sure they'll create a completely new cast. Double Dragon has returned since we have a new game, but I'm guessing that you mean for it to return to its original glory days. We'll probably need a console game for that. Dojo Master 1/26/04 Oops. I wrote you a letter the other day singing the praises of Double Dragon 2 for the Game Boy, but I goofed. I was actually playing Double Dragon 1! I've since played DD2 and am writing to caution anyone who read my glowing "review" for DD2, to take note that I screwed up. Don't waste your time with DD2! I got confused as I was recalling memories of DD2 for the NES while playing DD1 for the GB. Yikes, no wonder you thought I was crazy! :-P Sorry for the confusion. Jay Thanks for clearing up the confusion. I thought something was screwy. Be warned everybody and under no circumstances go near Double Dragon 3 for Game Boy. Dojo Master Hello. Great site. I am happy to say that I have been the proud owner of Double Dragon Advance for a couple of months now (since November). I just love how the game really follows the arcade version (especially with the weapons). Not like the NES or original Game Boy versions where the weapons disappear. The Abobos with afros, the secret service guys, Hong, Burnov, Chin, the bald version of Chin, the Five Emperors, and Kikucho (the samurai) were also a nice addition. I do agree that Raymond is a ridiculous name for the Mission 7 boss. Plus, I liked how they named the green Abobo with the mohawk at the end of Mission 5 Mibobo. I sure hope they make a sequel to Double Dragon Advance in the near future. Dave Great ideas. I would have suggested the same things. Chances are that if they make a sequel it will be very close to what you suggested. Did anybody catch that strange dialog after beating Raymond? Sure sounds suggestive to me. Dojo Master Do you know who were the crew (director, writer, etc.) for the Double Dragon cartoon series? Perseus Well, unfortunately no. The best way to find out would be to write down the credits at the end of each show. If you don't have a copy of the show I could check out one of my tapes and post the info in the Dojo. Normally I would recommend that you check out TvTome.com but I couldn't help but notice that you are the editor for that section. Bet you didn't think Dojo Master would know that did you? We do post the name of the writer for each episode when we review them, but so far we have only one review. We should slowly expand our cartoon section this year. Dojo Master 1/20/04 I recently got myself a GBA player and decided too try some of my bros'
old Game Boy carts (love that word). Nemesis and the Mario games were fun, but when I popped Double Dragon 2
in, I could not believe how cool it was! I just couldn't believe that a Jay Wow. Did you really enjoy DD2 on Game Boy that much? I didn't think very highly of it though I was happy to get my hands on an unopened copy of it as a collector. You definitely need to pick up Double Dragon Advance and make sure that a friend buys a copy too. It'll be even more fun with that Game Boy Player of yours. Dojo Master Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! (Again!) I just played all versions of DD1 and DD2 on the Amstrad CPC 6128 (Yeah, I found one, with a bunch of games {all pirates}.) Thought the resolution of the Amstrad reminds me of Apple II resolution (I'll program a port to IIgs in a few months), the bad version of DD1 is bad, and yes, like the Amstrad Mystery review states, it is actually bed that the C64 version! Though it sucks, it looks like it belongs on the Intellivision (there's a port that should be done for fun). Why and who did this to us is beyond me, and I do feel sorry for the Amstrad owners in Europe/Australia that bought this version, and not the good version. Both require the CPC 6128 model, so there's no excuse for releasing the same game twice for reasons only the now-owned-by Electronic Arts Virgin Games (dissolved into the giant corporation somewhere) will ever know. Because of this awful version of the game, this David Leitch should be . . . leached! Tyrone Warbasse Thanks for the info. It's best to just steer clear of all the computer ports of the game. As far as an anime based on Double Dragon, I don't know. Sounds strange especially if it was released in 1988, a year after the arcade game debuted. But if you want to see what Double Dragon borrowed from, just look at Fist of the North Star. Dojo Master 1/15/04 I stumbled across your web page and loved it! It's great to see this game getting the respect it deserves. I would like to contribute a picture of my Double Dragon arcade game I just purchased off ebay. I've always wanted to own the arcade that sent side-scrolling fighters into the next generation. The game is in beautiful condition, and lacks only the Taito side art which will soon be on there. I live in Louisville, KY, so if anyone wants to swing by and help me take on Willy and his gang please feel free to email me. Geoff Schnuerle
Wow. That's really cool. I think that's every fan's dream. Too bad I don't live in your neck of the woods. Dojo Master 1/8/04 I have a few questions! Now what game do you guys like better the Nekketsu series or Double Dragon? Who do you think would win in a fight between the 2? And do you guys know the correct date for River City Ransom Advance? One more thing, do you guys think Double Dragon would be good on a home console? Thanks for your time! Geo Brusso Well, I've never played the Nekketsu series so I can't compare them. I'd have to ask the staff members what they think about them. But obviously Billy and Jimmy would spank everybody. River City Ransom is set for the first quarter of 2004, and of course Double Dragon should be on a console! Dojo Master Hi, I just wish to congratulate you for building this site especially
dedicated to the true hardcore DD fans. It is truly ( if I may say a DD Augusto de Olmos Thanks a bunch. If there's anything DD related, we want it to be here. Dojo Master 1/1/04 Are you guys gonna do the characters section for Double Dragon: Advance anytime soon? Oh, I have info on the shadow boss from Battletoads/Double Dragon. I heard from a strategy guide on GameFAQs that he was a beefed up Burnov. They looked at the opening sequence for DD2 and had mistaken Burnov for the boss, Willy for a mere henchman, and used Chintai for "Will". Intresting... Chadwick Weld Yes, we should have the DDA characters section up soon. It's basically very similar to the arcade original. We're just waiting on the character info from the Japanese game's manual. What you said about the Battletoads & Double Dragon info is basically true. Thanks for the information. Dojo Master
