Malparido gamín rata inmunda! Horrendo re podrido! Se ve que pasaste horas jugando para poder llegar a ese nivel! El 2do jefe era un autentico dolor de cabeza y alli lo haces quedar en ridiculo!
@scottvska Good question I think the challenge level might have been put on low because in the first game they where much tougher you had to take them down something like 3 times.
Holy crap Double Dragon 2! I loved this game on NES and I remember I would play it for hours just to master that awesome air knee! Everytime it connected, the enemy would fly to mars!
@new0033 i rarely remember seeing little kids in arcades in the 80s. was always older kids in my neighborhoods. u only saw kid games at chunky cheese. they were lame.
It's funny how the level layout was the same for most/all of the levels for this game as Double Dragon 1. Grant it, this game only released a year after the previous, I can understand why they wanted to take some shortcuts and not create new levels from scratch. I consider this game more like Double Dragon 1.5 than Double Dragon 2 because of that. However, there were a lot of improvements over the first. New moves, left and right attack instead of punch and kick, new artwork and level design...
this is one of those rare cases where the NES port (which was actually rebuilt from the ground up) is superior to the arcade "original". if you pay close attention the the level layouts, you'll see that DD2 is the same game as DD1.
Hmmm... They have a heavily armed gunship in what I assume is their home but they rather go and play paddy whacker with the entire neigborhood? That makes 1980's sense.
Around 4:48, a good trick is to go back over to the left & stand still when the girl appears. She lobs the grenade, it lands in the middle &, as she walks toward you, it blows HER up.
Nothing like keeping the graphics and gameplay like the original... LOL! I rather play this arcade version of Double Dragon 2 than the NES port. I would give my reasons why, but I'm sure you can figure that out for yourself.. lol
are they the same two as the first game? I thought one of them had to die at the end of it..who's the guy in white? .. a lot of questions, I know.. but I only knew about the NIntendo sequel that was all fucked up
The funny thing about watching this, is when I played it in the arcade as a kid there was no music. I always thought that the programmers were so in a rush that they forget to put music in
damn he straight bucked her 3 times..LoL he wasnt fuckin around this time around Lol..& damn since part 1 Billy & Jimmy have been ballin large in the projects..they got the heli pad on the roof..
@arronmunroe It's about feel, the arcade feels solid like you are actually fighting. The NES feels like badly drawn paper characters. Who cares if the NES is harder or not if it feels like ass to play.
The fact is, the NES one isn't about punching and kicking, I usually play the game on just the hurricane kick, super knee, and uppercut. I'll admit, it doesn't "feel" like a good beat em up, yet I still enjoy the gameplay anyways, since I don't consider it to be a beat em up in the traditional sense. As for this game, it gets VERY slow from too many bad guys, and I don't really appreciate the combat system much anyways. If I want to play a good beat em up, I'll play Streets of Rage 2.
@ojideagu Hey, since most people hail the NES version of Double Dragon is the best, I want to ask you something how do you feel about the NES Ninja Gaiden series being better that the arcade version?
@yubnub1 LOL most people hail the NES as the best, says who?
I have one simple question for you, what versions did Nintendo base Double Dragon for the GBA on?
Oh OH....It was the Arcade versions. What a surprise!
No magazines hailed the NES version as the best in any shape or form. Only NES fan boys who didn't grow up with the arcade do. I grew up when these games when they came out and trust me, the Arcade Double Dragon 1 was seen as a mega hit worldwide and was ported to EVERY games machine
@ojideagu You said that before and how do you know that they didn't hail the NES version as the best? Did you read all the game magazines? Oh, I believe I said this before, when they made the GBA they did base the game off of the arcade version of the first Double Dragon, that is a given. But, they did adapted properties from both arcade and NES versions of Double Dragon II, Super Double Dragon, DDIII, and Renegade.
@ojideagu Oh, and one more thing, some of us "NES fanboys" actually did grow up with the arcade. It's just that some of us enjoyed playing games whatever the hell versions they were. NES, Atari, or arcade, some of us just see a game. But, as for as DDII goes the NES is the best!!
Did you ever truly analyze both games or did you just say, "This is the arcade version, it is the best because it is the arcade version"?
@ojideagu They weren't that bad. I wonder have you played Double Dragon III, the arcade version? Now, that game was the let down even more so than the NES versions which were very good. DDIII arcade version was a real piece of shit in the whole series. As for the NES, The arcade version being re-papered wasn't the only thing the NES version had over it. The NES version had moves, a story, more enemies, more traps, a cool final boss, and a hell of an ending!
@ojideagu Oh, also, answer this, when Capcom released Bionic Commando 2009 and Bionic Commando Rearmed, which version of Bionic Commando did they based those games on, arcade or NES?
And it was Million that released Double Dragon Advance for the GBA not Nintendo, it was only lisenced to Nintendo.
@JuicyPlayer You are in the minority, Double Dragon was a hit BECAUSE of the arcade. Why do you think it was ported to every game system on earth? The NES games are babyish nonsense for 5 year olds.
@ojideagu The GBA version was beyond the Arcade version since they added more levels and added the NES moves like the super knee and super uppercut. Also i'm not denying that the Arcade version wasn't a hit but the NES version improved on the Arcade version in every way other then the larger graphics which the Arcade version itself couldn't handle since there was so much slow down.
@JuicyPlayer I grew up with Double Dragon in the arcade, It is a classic. I played it when it came out. I detested the NES versions. A very pale immitation. Next you will be saying Nes Ninja Turtles and Street Fighter were better then the Arcade.
@ojideagu No, actually i don't like the NES version of the Turtles Arcade game , it was a watered down port with all the moves gimped and the extra 2 levels didn't really add anything other than to drag the game further. Street Fighter didn't get good console ports until the Saturn arrived , the SNES did it some justice but it wasn't all the way there yet.
@ojideagu I don't know who you think you are calling somebody uneducated but, if liking a particular version of a game over the arcade version is wrong then, I don't want to be right.
Legendary Arcade Version , was a game we used to spend all our quarters on in the late 80's . My father was in the Army and all the Soldier and Kids in the local town by the Base used to flock to the Arcades to chill. Good Stuff. Needs to be included in Xbox Live Library , & Playstation Online Catalog
@ojideagu hehe =), kinda knew some1 was gona say that. but hey their both great, maybe I chose thenes version because it reminded me of when I gvot my first one at chrimbo all those years ago. I would't turn down a DD2 cabint tho, tat woud be well sweet!.
they made the blood color into WHITE. wtf! i guess they were worried about video games being too violent. if you are going to knife someone, it is already a violent act. does the color, from white to red, mean that it is not violent anymore? reminds me of backwards nintendo thinking in its days of mortal kombat censorship on the super nintendo. at 4:30, we see brutus the barber beefcake mixed with stallone.
So instead of kidnapping her, this time the gang just decide to shoot the crap out of Billy's girlfriend. Wow, these guys sure don't mess around. I think it's time for some good ol' fashion revenge!
This one is no doubt one of the best ever Double Dragon games, and is my favorite D.D. arcade game. I actually have the machine to this game, and I use it as my Jamma cabinet too, which I have a lot of other arcade games for. It is kind of strange in a way, that this version is pretty much a virtual remake of the original D.D. arcade game, though.
@ScenicShade Find me someone who grew up with the Arcade who preferes the NES. They don't exist. All i see is ignorant funboys on NES double dragon videos.
@ojideagu It's no doubt. I have played DD2 Arcade game at a Midway's Aladdin's Castle Arcade that was formerly located at the St. Clair Square in Fairview Heights, Illinois back in 1989 & 1990. It was mostly found in the back of the arcade. I played the game and beat it.
@ojideagu Also at that time, I might have agreed with you about the graphics and music because they are better than the NES version. But, we are looking at a big arcade machine that manage one game and can occupy hundreds of bits compared to an a machine that can manage several games but has only eight bits to work with and still does a very good job.
@ojideagu However, I today look at more that just graphics and music because, I look at control and gameplay as well. To me game can look as old as Atari 2600 so long as it has good gameplay. As much as you hate on NES players, I bet there was at least one time in your life that you actually played and liked a NES game. The arcade version could never top the NES version.
@yubnub1 Double Dragon 1 is one of the biggest arcade games of all time and paved the way for Final Fight and Streets of rage, you name it. Why do you think there were so many versions for every home console and computer? Because it was a smash hit and had fantastic gameplay. I'm sure you would say Street Fighter 2 for the Nes was better then the arcade too.
@ojideagu Yes, DD1 was the top of the heap and made a way for other fighting games. Some home versions were good and some were bad. I still play the NES version of Double Dragon and the Atari 2600 & 7800 versions in spite of how bad people said they were. And for your information, Street Fighter II came out for the SNES not the NES and it was nearly arcade perfect.
@ojideagu I wouldn't either. In your last comment you mentioned Street Fighter II. SFII wasn't perfect I agree to that but still it was fun. If you had been I my position where you could only go to an arcade every other weekend growing up you would thank your lucky stars you had a console game system to play when you couldn't go to the mall.
@yubnub1 I owned most home consoles. But the arcades were the holy grail of gaming in the 80's and early 1990's. Consoles were the best we had, an immitation of what we dreamed of, the arcade games. However at least people now have consoles that have superior games to arcades. By the way I never liked the NES aside from Mario. Nintendo were going to use a 16 bit chip at the time but the cost was too high so we got short changed.
@ojideagu arcades were the holy grail! Kids dont know what their missing! I remember feeling like a total cool cat at the arcades with rocking tunes, hanging with my buds! Line the quarters up!
@yubnub1 By the way I don't hate Nintendo, I loved the Gameboy, which was virtually the same power as the NES (proving how dated the NES was)
And I loved the Snes. The NES was WAY past its sell by date compared to the 1987 PC Engine and Megadrive, despite nintendo still peddeling it out into the 90's. The Snes should have been created 2-3 years earlier.
@ojideagu You remind me a little of my brother-in-law because he would swear up and down about the qlories of the arcade over the console. That was manly because he went to arcade a heck of a lot more than I did when he was younger.
In the first Double Dragon, it was possible to complete the entire game with 1 credit using just 1 move (rear elbow smash). Doesn't work anymore in the second game. The enemies got smart. Bummer!

@ojideagu uh huh, and the NES version of Double Dragon and Double Dragon II, Super Double Dragon, and a little touches of Renegade. Do your homework.

@ojideagu well when it was on Sega consoles it wasn't all that hot.

@yubnub1 I never said it was! But the megadrive/genesis version was closest to the arcade. Although I found it average.

@ojideagu I don't know who you think you are calling somebody uneducated but, if liking a particular version of a game over the arcade version is wrong then, I don't want to be right.

@NWNisFUN NES hurricane kick causes much more damage than the arcade one. It just knocks enemies away.

I played this in the Arcade back in the day and thought the NES version of DD2 was better , it had more content and more better designed levels.

Legendary Arcade Version , was a game we used to spend all our quarters on in the late 80's . My father was in the Army and all the Soldier and Kids in the local town by the Base used to flock to the Arcades to chill. Good Stuff. Needs to be included in Xbox Live Library , & Playstation Online Catalog

My memory of the arcade version is a bit fuzzy. Did it slow down this bad, or does mame just have trouble emulating it?

they made the blood color into WHITE. wtf! i guess they were worried about video games being too violent. if you are going to knife someone, it is already a violent act. does the color, from white to red, mean that it is not violent anymore? reminds me of backwards nintendo thinking in its days of mortal kombat censorship on the super nintendo. at 4:30, we see brutus the barber beefcake mixed with stallone.

So instead of kidnapping her, this time the gang just decide to shoot the crap out of Billy's girlfriend. Wow, these guys sure don't mess around. I think it's time for some good ol' fashion revenge!

This one is no doubt one of the best ever Double Dragon games, and is my favorite D.D. arcade game. I actually have the machine to this game, and I use it as my Jamma cabinet too, which I have a lot of other arcade games for. It is kind of strange in a way, that this version is pretty much a virtual remake of the original D.D. arcade game, though.

@ojideagu It's no doubt. I have played DD2 Arcade game at a Midway's Aladdin's Castle Arcade that was formerly located at the St. Clair Square in Fairview Heights, Illinois back in 1989 & 1990. It was mostly found in the back of the arcade. I played the game and beat it.
yubnub1 1 year ago
@ojideagu Also at that time, I might have agreed with you about the graphics and music because they are better than the NES version. But, we are looking at a big arcade machine that manage one game and can occupy hundreds of bits compared to an a machine that can manage several games but has only eight bits to work with and still does a very good job.
yubnub1 1 year ago
@ojideagu However, I today look at more that just graphics and music because, I look at control and gameplay as well. To me game can look as old as Atari 2600 so long as it has good gameplay. As much as you hate on NES players, I bet there was at least one time in your life that you actually played and liked a NES game. The arcade version could never top the NES version.
yubnub1 1 year ago
@yubnub1 Double Dragon 1 is one of the biggest arcade games of all time and paved the way for Final Fight and Streets of rage, you name it. Why do you think there were so many versions for every home console and computer? Because it was a smash hit and had fantastic gameplay. I'm sure you would say Street Fighter 2 for the Nes was better then the arcade too.
ojideagu 1 year ago
@ojideagu Yes, DD1 was the top of the heap and made a way for other fighting games. Some home versions were good and some were bad. I still play the NES version of Double Dragon and the Atari 2600 & 7800 versions in spite of how bad people said they were. And for your information, Street Fighter II came out for the SNES not the NES and it was nearly arcade perfect.
yubnub1 1 year ago
@yubnub1 The vast majority of people who grew up with the arcade when it was released wouldn't piss on the NES versions.
ojideagu 1 year ago
@ojideagu I wouldn't either. In your last comment you mentioned Street Fighter II. SFII wasn't perfect I agree to that but still it was fun. If you had been I my position where you could only go to an arcade every other weekend growing up you would thank your lucky stars you had a console game system to play when you couldn't go to the mall.

@yubnub1 I owned most home consoles. But the arcades were the holy grail of gaming in the 80's and early 1990's. Consoles were the best we had, an immitation of what we dreamed of, the arcade games. However at least people now have consoles that have superior games to arcades. By the way I never liked the NES aside from Mario. Nintendo were going to use a 16 bit chip at the time but the cost was too high so we got short changed.

@ojideagu arcades were the holy grail! Kids dont know what their missing! I remember feeling like a total cool cat at the arcades with rocking tunes, hanging with my buds! Line the quarters up!

@yubnub1 By the way I don't hate Nintendo, I loved the Gameboy, which was virtually the same power as the NES (proving how dated the NES was)
And I loved the Snes. The NES was WAY past its sell by date compared to the 1987 PC Engine and Megadrive, despite nintendo still peddeling it out into the 90's. The Snes should have been created 2-3 years earlier.

@ojideagu You remind me a little of my brother-in-law because he would swear up and down about the qlories of the arcade over the console. That was manly because he went to arcade a heck of a lot more than I did when he was younger.
