    Double Dragon is an arcade game developed by Technos and published by Taito in 1987. It was later ported to many home consoles including the NES, Sega Master System, Atari 2600, Sega Genesis and others. There were also several sequels including Double Dragon II: The Revenge, Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone and Super Double Dragon for the SNES. In 1993, Rare developed a spin-off Battletoads & Double Dragon which combined the two franchises. And in 2012 there was a remake for Xbox Live Arcade called Double Dragon Neon.
    This week, James Rolfe and Mike Matei try out the first Double Dragon game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This home port had many disadvantages in comparison with the arcade version, but is a classic in its own right. Near the end of the video, we also try out Mode B where players fight against each other in a one-on-one match! It's time for some Double Dragon!!!

    @dunnono00 9 років тому +32

    lol, I guess this is part of the reason I can't help but like the AVGN videos. There's just a genuine quality to them. Like the way James just goes crazy with the effort of making a tough jump "EHHHHHNNNNN!, or the way he says he actually felt that last hit from Abobo. It's nostalgic, I guess. Just takes me back to the days when I played these games and lived and died with every victory and defeat. This video just puts a smile on my face.

    Ahh... When James shouted to Mike "Count my hearts, count my hearts!" it took me back to the arcade days, playing those busy-screen looking games where you'd shout out to your friend to check out what you can't see because you're too busy trying not to die... Nostalgic.

    Double Dragon 2 has the best attack; you jump, and after landing and before the character getting up, you jump again, making a jumping knee kick. That thing is so brutal is really fun to attack with, even the sound it makes.
    I'm hoping for a Double Dragon 2 James & Mike Mondays.

    • @micoromico
      @micoromico 10 років тому +2

      ***** Back in the day when my brother and I got that game, there was Saint Seiya airing for the first time. There's a technique called 'Rozan Shoryu Ha' and the translation was "Ascending Dragon." Naturally we called that move in DD2 ascending dragon, because it's so powerful that you may be able to stop a waterfall like in the animation. We still play it from time to time. Good times.

    • @davidofclay

      That move was mad easy to do with a turbo fire controller. Really that was the only way to play that game.

    • @micoromico
      @micoromico 10 років тому +3

      Walter White But it feels awesome when you do it on command without turbo. That's how I roll.

    • @Mrtypeoj
      @Mrtypeoj 10 років тому

      Yeah, i used to call it a knee flurry, remember using that for later in the game. Also cheaped out when playing solo,and start with 2pb i think, as you kill your partner you gain his lives so after that you can start the game with 8 lives instead of 4, something like that.

    Funny you mentioned the part with the Door "Imagine You didn't know you had to go into the Door..." Well that was me. I used to Play Double Dragon on Arcade and on the Arcade there are no doors so when I played it on NES I didn't know what the fuck was going on as I kept scrolling the screen to the right. I ended up turning off the game in frustration and never played or bough it again (back when it was a new game) I own the game now, picked it up years later to add to my collection. hehe

  • @DrDeathpwnsu
    @DrDeathpwnsu 8 років тому +13

    Single Dragon. Heh. Speaking of, I always feel singled-out when people reminisce over the NES game. As a kid, I dropped so many quarters in the arcade version before I even owned an NES or saw that version of it. When I finally got my hands on the NES version, it's not like I expected the graphics to be as good, but... Single player? The weapons disappearing after a few uses? _What a shitload of fuck._
    I understand that is kind of my own unique experience, and if you didn't grow up falling in love with an arcade game that was at the pizza place right by your house... (Like who the fuck are "Billy and Jimmy"? That's Hammer and Spike; it said it right there on the artwork by the buttons, duh...)Then the NES version probably seemed pretty cool.

      Yeah, that one is a pretty straight-forward port from the arcade if I recall. I have to agree; DD II arcade didn't make any real improvements (besides maybe less lag on a full screen) and DD III arcade was an absolute abomination! Usually video game sequels get better... but DD arcade seemed to want to follow the sequel quality trend of movies.

    Double Dragon's shadow knee kick - with accompanying sound effect - is probably the most awesome/violent move I've ever seen.

    Oh wow.. I never knew what the hearts were for in this game as a kid. I never really made the connection that some of the seemingly random new attacks I was doing had anything to do with them! I also never really got far enough along to get six or seven hearts to get the elbow or roundhouse kick they were talking about either! o.O
    ...guess I better dust off my NES again and try it out! :D
    EDIT: Jeez.. I never knew to go in the cave on level 3 either! I always had too much trouble with the two Abobos.

    There is a bunch of games on nes I didn't beat as a kid and then years later I beat them as an adult. Double dragon is one of them. Classic game I love it. I beat it every year or so now and it's really fun. Very nostalgic. The music always makes me smile.

    Battletoads and Double Dragon. Two of the hardest NES games of all-time. No coincidence that they both starred in the same game.

  • @PeteSkerritt
    @PeteSkerritt 10 років тому +10

    I was hoping for a reference to The Wizard, and was not disappointed. As much as that film gets trashed for its poor story and unnecessary character development ("Show me the games!"), just the idea that video games had a supporting role in the film was/is great. I watch it more often than I should probably admit to in a public forum.
    As for the NES version of Double Dragon, it's one of my favorite ports. I like the RPG-lite element of leveling up your character and having him learn new moves; it's a bit deeper than the coin-op original in that regard. There's also a great soundtrack here.
    Finally: I didn't know about that glitch Mike mentioned until now. I'll have to use this!

  • @PaleHorseShabuShabu
    @PaleHorseShabuShabu 10 років тому

    I was inspired by this video, so I put Double Dragon into my top loader. After getting to the random jutting wall bullshit and dying on my last life, I started again and beat the game.
    Willie was tough because the bastard kept running away when I would try to pin him in the corner. I kept having to weave up and down in hopes that he wouldn't shoot, and he never did. I kept kicking him, grabbing him by the hair, and filling his face full of knees.
    The last boss is actually pretty simple. He just takes a lot of abuse. My first fight with him ended because of the game's stupid timer, but I got him on my second try. I kept kicking him and landed three spin kicks. I got in a good, uninterrupted series of punches, too. Throw in a ton of jump kicks and a few back elbows, and it's a victory for me.
