This is my all-time favourite Double Dragon game. I enjoyed the arcade and NES ones, but this was superior to me in the graphics, the game flow, the expanded fight moves, weapons, the backgrounds, and music. It's a damn shame they only made one of these for SNES/Famicom, I would have loved to play a series like this.
I'm glad to have played this game. Return of Double Dragon (or Super Double Dragon) was and always will be a much better game that Double Dragon III ever will be.
I loved this game, I beat it first time I played it first try, I loved Billy's catch kicks and punches, cocky Bastard. But hey he was a seasoned street fighter at this point, I think he was showing his superiority over the Shadow Warriors, demonstrating power and control.
Also for those who don't know, press down and kick button and Billy will deliver a devastating double kick that instantly stuns even a boss, and press forward and kick while the opponent is stunned and he delivers a sidekick. Try it if you still have the game.
I remember when I was kid and played it for the first time, before I used to play double dragon 1, 2 and 3 NES, then when I got my SNES I was shocked with the soundtrack graphics, colors what a improvement, despite my favorite versions is DD 1 and 2 from the Arcade
I thought I would prefer it too, but for some reason I like the American arrangement better. The music at the beginning of duke's palace is the truck music in the american one and that's how I like it. I also prefer the American Chinatown music. but I will say they did save the best for last at least. I don't like the new songs at all.
Super Double Dragon music line up is better. Only thing I dig about return is the last level music and stage is like the original. Ending still sucks for both, return not worth playing at all
I preordered the rerelease of this on SNES. Stopped by this video to check out the difference in gameplay from Super Double Dragon. Stoked about the spin kick hitting multiple times. Can't wait till it comes in the mail
I have played this game before. But looking at the gameplay, I don't remember Jimmy's style being so different from Billy. I could be wrong, but I thought that their styles were supposed to be the same. Then again this is a different version of the game I played. Just noticing the slight difference
Shamgod1987 , the music isn't any different from the US/NA and EU ports of the game, rather, they merely play in a different order than the US/NA and EU ports of the game.
+Pax Humana Well, the music for the 1st and 3rd stages weren't in the US version. Other than that is was a music shuffle except for stages 2 and 6, which were the same as the US version, and the song for US stage 7/title screen which wasn't in this version at all.
Best Double Dragon game of all time. Imagine this was out for PS4 or 5 and it has a sort of Batman Arkham Knight/Power Stone like Fighting System but more Kung Fu based. That will be awesome.
WIsh they'd bring this to the Switch. One of my favorite fighting games on the SNES. Didn't realize you could change the music in the game. Oh...I see it's being released on Switch on the 8th. I just pre-ordered it.
Hey arronmunroe, I've been looking for Return of Double Dragon footage, would you mind if I have permission to use this in a Double Dragon retrospective I'm working on?
Without a doubt, this is the most polished version of the game. Too bad we didn't get this version instead of the Super Double Dragon one. And while this game wasn't officially titled "Double Dragon 4", its technically the fourth game in the series. So I guess to us fans, it could be considered "Double Dragon 4".
This is actually the Japanese version. I know in the US version, different songs are used for different levels, but I think it uses all the same songs.
@@arronmunroe thank you for the reply. Strangely I cant recall this song from the first level. I finished the game countless times with my brother back then 😄
Isn't there an ending for the Japanese version of the game? I do know the hurricane kick is different in the Japanese version (it hits multiple times).
The only thing that was disappointing about this game aside from the final boss fight which lasts for an eternity, is the ending. All you get is a black screen with text. And that's it. Honestly, I was expecting something more like a cut scene. But oh well.
Would´ve been nice to getting an intro cutscene as well, seeing the girlfriend being carried away by a clown and a couple of thugs would've been enough. Its a shame, I heard the game was rushed though.
RDD has a mayor issue, the hurricane kick is broken, you can avoid and charge the bar and kill normal enemies through the game without much problem. In SDD is 1 hit, so you can´t do that, developers knew this and make that crucial change. Final level, weapons and arranged music are better in RDD, but for the reason I mentioned I prefer SDD.
arronmunroe But, you can download unofficial version of it to your PC) And yes, there is no multiplayer mode, so if you want to play it with someone, then you need to ask your friends come over to your house to play in DD4 on your PC) I know that it's on consoles too, but i'm PC gamer, so that's why i'm talking about PC version. And, i'm not asking you to do it right now. It's yours channel so it's your choice, when to make that video about new Double Dragon 4)
i play this game on snesfun.com but i would like to play with the pink men alson but i can't, what button i have to press on my keypad or what mode player should i try so i could play with the pink men?
That's not how it works. He is meant to be controlled by a second controller, used by a second person. If you don't have anyone to play the game with you, then you won't be able to play as him.
Amigo, bateu uma saudade de um certo jogo do Super Nintendo. Pode ser jogado de 2 players, o objetivo era salvar uns pequenos bixos vermelhos e na maioria das vezes matar os azuis, o recurso disponível era colocar blocos,
There's a rom hack that restores the U.S. soundtrack arrangement but fixes the title screen so it plays the actual Double Dragon theme like the Japan version... I prefer the U.S. arrangement over this... those two new songs in Mission 1 and 3 are garbage.
The song you're thinking of is at 16:56. Super Double Dragon, which you're thinking of, has a few changes from the Japanese version, including which stage has that song.

This is a game I played with my late best friend in the 1990s ! We dominated this game and the memories will never die. RIP Jebbs!
Sad to hear.
Sorry to hear that, i have memories playing this with my brother growing up. Its good to have memories of
God bless your friend, you will beat 'em up again together, but not today (Y)
This is my all-time favourite Double Dragon game.

It's a damn shame they only made one of these for SNES/Famicom, I would have loved to play a series like this.
By far one of my favorite games on the snes
Exactly. When I was a kid, a friend borrowed it to me, and it lasted weeks to finish! Pretty hard game.
I play this with my sister when we're Youngs the best memory's of my childhood thank you double dragon 🐉
this is the best double dragon game. I wish they made a sequel for it.
It sucks that the series died out soon after this
There's actually a dd4 and the arcade version of dd1

HEY, DOUBLE DRAGON NEON IS ALREADY OUT..PLAY IT..REALLY U WILL LIKE IT!
@@cprcomputer7688 YES AND DOUBLE DRAGON NEON..THE BEST OF ALL.
I rented this game so many times, finally my dad bought it for me. :)
I WONDER IF THEY SELL THIS Particular Game for OTHER Consoles?
...Why, 'Cause I MISS It & I WANT It.
You can probably get an emulator for NES system and play it on PC.
THAT'S IT???!!!
SweeTC2847 Yup.
I'm glad to have played this game. Return of Double Dragon (or Super Double Dragon) was and always will be a much better game that Double Dragon III ever will be.
No doubt. Plus Super Double Dragon music was superb. I also loved they had emphasis on the voice overs whenever they do a huge critical hit.
i hated double dragon III, it sucks... Double Dragon II instead was so good.. still playing it
By far.
I loved this game, I beat it first time I played it first try, I loved Billy's catch kicks and punches, cocky Bastard. But hey he was a seasoned street fighter at this point, I think he was showing his superiority over the Shadow Warriors, demonstrating power and control.
I used to love this game. Nostalgia overload
Also for those who don't know, press down and kick button and Billy will deliver a devastating double kick that instantly stuns even a boss, and press forward and kick while the opponent is stunned and he delivers a sidekick. Try it if you still have the game.
That kick was my favourite move.
5:01 This music is Fo Reeel!!!
19:47 Classic!!
I remember when I was kid and played it for the first time, before I used to play double dragon 1, 2 and 3 NES, then when I got my SNES I was shocked with the soundtrack graphics, colors what a improvement, despite my favorite versions is DD 1 and 2 from the Arcade
16:55 Listen with a good pair of Stereo speakers and a Subwoofer. This track kicks major ass. I would of seriously bought a song like this.
41:17 go Billy and Jimmy.
the hurricane kick will never get old.
U Read MY MIND!!!!
And, If I remember correctly, it hits one time, and here, hits 3 or 4 times. Also, music changed. Version, maybe?
I played this amazing game with my brother (13 and 11 YO at the time), long time ago. Great memories kicking heads and butts :)
I preferred the Japanese version because the music was arranged differently
And the Hurricane Kick actually kicked more. Plus, there are some settings. Mission 7 has a room with the final battle, and it's longer.
I thought I would prefer it too, but for some reason I like the American arrangement better. The music at the beginning of duke's palace is the truck music in the american one and that's how I like it. I also prefer the American Chinatown music. but I will say they did save the best for last at least. I don't like the new songs at all.
si esta mejor
I prefer the Japanese version too. The stage themes make more sense and overall it feels more complete. The Casino theme in Return is PERFECT!
I do too. The kicks is also way more better when you do the superkick. Which is kind of not as good in Super Double Dragon original version
Those enemies at the beginning look like Blanka with Nash/Charlie's outfit.
Williams
I'd be surprised if they had this for the Nintendo Switch
Xander j Fox-Agron god I’d love it if they did
I remember playing this game when I was a kid! Fun childhood memories!
Awesome. Great game. Just wish that the ending was a lot better. Hail Double Dragon.
This particular version didn't even have an "ending" per say. The North American version sort of did, even if it was nothing but a bit of text though.
Mission 7 music was fire
I played this game a lot, it was one of the best of the season.
Super Double Dragon music line up is better. Only thing I dig about return is the last level music and stage is like the original. Ending still sucks for both, return not worth playing at all
Then you might wanna give this a shot instead:
ua-cam.com/video/_7lSSk3jsxI/v-deo.html
I'm so retro. Still have my SNES and I still play Super Double Dragon. My ten year old son is Billy and I'm Jimmy.
low and high kick was the go to move, the memories as a kid
I preordered the rerelease of this on SNES. Stopped by this video to check out the difference in gameplay from Super Double Dragon. Stoked about the spin kick hitting multiple times. Can't wait till it comes in the mail
I have played this game before. But looking at the gameplay, I don't remember Jimmy's style being so different from Billy. I could be wrong, but I thought that their styles were supposed to be the same. Then again this is a different version of the game I played. Just noticing the slight difference
This Double Dragon had the best controls n combos and ost wish they remake this
loved this game growing up. of play with my dad cause he needed a second player
That's a great memory!
this is the Japanese version right? the music is different.
Shamgod1987 That's right, it's the Japanese version.
Shamgod1987 , the music isn't any different from the US/NA and EU ports of the game, rather, they merely play in a different order than the US/NA and EU ports of the game.
+Stillmatic7331 I was thinking the same thing. Some parts of the rationalization of video games I'll never quite get.
+Pax Humana Well, the music for the 1st and 3rd stages weren't in the US version. Other than that is was a music shuffle except for stages 2 and 6, which were the same as the US version, and the song for US stage 7/title screen which wasn't in this version at all.
anatnis , the game is still an incomplete mess, regardless of WHICH side of the Pacific Ocean that you are on anyway.
Would be cool to see Billy Lee and Jimmy Lee in Fighting EX Layer, Tekken 7, and Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
Yes for Super Smash Bros Ultimate!
Best Double Dragon game of all time. Imagine this was out for PS4 or 5 and it has a sort of Batman Arkham Knight/Power Stone like Fighting System but more Kung Fu based. That will be awesome.
This is the particular version I wish we had. The Japanese version is a bit more polished and is longer.
My childhood was so dope!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Hm..since you're conveniently standing there" KICK
26:55
WIsh they'd bring this to the Switch. One of my favorite fighting games on the SNES. Didn't realize you could change the music in the game. Oh...I see it's being released on Switch on the 8th. I just pre-ordered it.

+angrytaco Sure, go ahead.
Thanks muchly! I'll be sure to credit you in the vid.

Who is the mcguire's Henchmen on mission 4
18:33 Only 1 punch and Krusty the Clown is already on his fat ass.
47:06 This guy got his ass handed to him mercilessly.

This was my favorite game when I was a kid besides 7th Saga
What is this music and do u get the tasty to hit multiple times
Why doesn’t Player 2’s meter recharge?
Great game! Maybe a little bit slow, but very fun, good and innovative mechanics.
Da gosto só de olhar esse jogo ouvir a música é muito nostálgico.
Best damn game ever I miss playing Super double dragon
The true Double Dragon 3 sequel
primeiro Double dragon que eu joguei/first Double dragon
that I played
for some reason my version of the game has a different soundtrack. is there a difference between us and eu release?
This is actually the Japanese version. I know in the US version, different songs are used for different levels, but I think it uses all the same songs.
@@arronmunroe thank you for the reply. Strangely I cant recall this song from the first level. I finished the game countless times with my brother back then 😄
@@Snakumaru Yeah, you're right. I hadn't known the first stage song in this one doesn't show up in the other version of the game.
Which version was this? I remember playing this with my brother back in 1992 for the Super Nintendo the levels were different
This is the Japanese version of the game, which is a little different from the one you would have played.
@@arronmunroe I see I believe this one is better it breaks my heart I'll never be able to play this or even speak to him ever again 💔😔
How do I play as Jimmy Lee?
Didn't think that was possible as player 1, unless there's some Game Genie code out there that does it.
A reboot of this game, but with the same content would be a great idea for the current systems.
fkn awesome....that hurricane kick was the shit....imagine if they remade it today
Isn't there an ending for the Japanese version of the game? I do know the hurricane kick is different in the Japanese version (it hits multiple times).
It's the American version, Super Double Dragon, that actually has an ending, although it's just some text explaining what happened.
Jimmy is kicking ass the whole time Billy is trying to power up that dumb ass kick....the arm grab and kicks to the face is the best
I'd LOOOVE To SEE a CROSSOVER Game Between DOUBLE DRAGON & STREETS OF RAGE!!!!!
So, WHAT'S The Game called, BOR?
One of the best game ever in this series. By the way I have a question why some of this version in this game have a less soundtrack than this version.
This is the Japanese version, which has a different song order.
@@arronmunroe Thank you 🙂 I have this version too long time ago. And gotta say the soundtrack was very great 🙂
Ah memories.
Never had a clue how many punks with katans used to be on the american streets
I like how to hurricane kick hits more than once in this version.
it`s cool but completely broken.
The only thing that was disappointing about this game aside from the final boss fight which lasts for an eternity, is the ending. All you get is a black screen with text. And that's it. Honestly, I was expecting something more like a cut scene. But oh well.
Would´ve been nice to getting an intro cutscene as well, seeing the girlfriend being carried away by a clown and a couple of thugs would've been enough. Its a shame, I heard the game was rushed though.
the music is wrong on here

Eu e meu irmão jogava muito esse jogo no Polystation,minha infâcia foi otima
The Stage 5 TRACK was The Stage 3 TRACK in The U.S. Version. Haha
Nice. I love this game. You should make walkthrough about new Double Dragon 4)
Although I will probably do this eventually, I'm not setting any dates on it. For now, I don't even own a copy of the game.
arronmunroe But, you can download unofficial version of it to your PC) And yes, there is no multiplayer mode, so if you want to play it with someone, then you need to ask your friends come over to your house to play in DD4 on your PC) I know that it's on consoles too, but i'm PC gamer, so that's why i'm talking about PC version. And, i'm not asking you to do it right now. It's yours channel so it's your choice, when to make that video about new Double Dragon 4)
I had forgotten to reply to this, but I played through Double Dragon IV a while back.
My favorite move was always catching their arms and repeatedly kicking them in the face.
Mí saga favorita, Double Dragón!
You could argue this is better than streets of rage 2.
i play this game on snesfun.com but i would like to play with the pink men alson but i can't, what button i have to press on my keypad or what mode player should i try so i could play with the pink men?
You just need to choose one of the 2p game modes instead of "1p mode".
i did and press every single button of my keypad and the pink man never appeared.
let me correct my mistake. yes the pink men appear but he doesn't move. i though that he would help me to fight but he doesn't move.
That's not how it works. He is meant to be controlled by a second controller, used by a second person. If you don't have anyone to play the game with you, then you won't be able to play as him.
that sucks. i would have think about my idea if i were the maker of this video game.
The tracks feel misplaced from what suited the US version.
Tatsumaki Senpukyaku was named after Twin Kick.
Loved this game when it came out. I already owned DD 1,2 3, but this one was epic. Fyi stay away from DD Neon for 360 arcade.
O melhor double dragon ja feito, muito massa
Mucha nostalgia con las melodias de la mision 2 y 5
Amigo, bateu uma saudade de um certo jogo do Super Nintendo. Pode ser jogado de 2 players, o objetivo era salvar uns pequenos bixos vermelhos e na maioria das vezes matar os azuis, o recurso disponível era colocar blocos,
A parte dos vermelhos me lembrou Sonic 4 pro antes SIM PRO SNES mais ele não e multiplayer e não tem bonecos azuis
@@ninguemconfia7544 o nome do jogo que eu tava procurando é Trodlers.
THIS IS LIKE DOUBLE DRAGON MEETS NINJA GAIDEN!!!!!!!!!
I guess this one didn't count as DD4 since they released "DD4" two years ago.
DD 4 ver.1 aka battletoad and doubledragon released in 1990s DD4 ver 2 aka double dragon 4 released in two year ago
Super Double Dragon/Return of Double Dragon is really the 4th game even if people don't say that it is
i feel the same way.
This is the 'fixed' version with the shit music. You gotta play the older, unfixed version, which has dumber AI but much better music!
There's a rom hack that restores the U.S. soundtrack arrangement but fixes the title screen so it plays the actual Double Dragon theme like the Japan version... I prefer the U.S. arrangement over this... those two new songs in Mission 1 and 3 are garbage.
This game ROCKS!!😁😇
Memories...........
They gotta make a double dragon of today game
Is this on the PC?
This was played on an emulator on a PC.
Podiam fazer um remasterizado dele com final
excelente gameplay
Super double dragon music selection was better
Base on double dragon game gear ver but use in snes
2:53 jajaja me parto,. se quedo ciego
What happened to the amazing lv 1 track?! This is not it!!
The song you're thinking of is at 16:56. Super Double Dragon, which you're thinking of, has a few changes from the Japanese version, including which stage has that song.
@@arronmunroe You are right! Aww that is, to me, the musical equivalent to "this is SPARTA!". Thanks!

OWW-WAA!!! Lol
Loved this game... except it was too dang long.
Ok, The OTHER Stage 3 TRACK IS/WAS Sooo MUCH Better Than THIS 1!!!
