Now, since the new release has a few people talking, I want to see if I can encourage some new players to try their hand at being the heroes. Certain installments can be a bit frustrating, but I always find myself coming back and trying again, pushing forward to save Marian and bring some justice where I can. ![]() In this post-apocalyptic world Billy and Jimmy Lee battle against the Black Warrior gang in a series inspired by Mad Max and martial arts films. I’ve also been re-watching some of the cartoon, one of my favorites when I was a kid, and while I could go read the comics that Marvel produced for the franchise again, or (if I really get desperate for more Double Dragon) there is that movie we don’t speak of, but those are all just icing on the cake to the games. Not just because I would get a new beat ‘em up to fight through, but because the news offered me the perfect opportunity to replay all of the games. The cartoon inspired the Tradewest-developed Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls, released in 1994 for the SNES and Genesis (also ported to the Atari Jaguar) while characters and plot elements from the movie were adapted into the 1995 Technōs-developed Neo Geo version of Double Dragon.ĭouble Dragon was a major influence on other beat 'em ups such as Final Fight, The Simpsons, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade games.I know I can’t have been the only one excited recently to see a new retro-styled Double Dragon game coming out, and so soon after its reveal. In turn, the animated series and movie inspired their respective video game spinoffs as well, both which were fighting games. These include a six-issue comic published by Marvel in 1991, an animated TV series which ran for two seasons from 1993 to 1995, and a live-action film in 1994. The characters of Randy and Andy in the 1989 NES game River City Ransom are based on Billy and Jimmy in Japan, they are known as Ryūichi and Ryūji, and they appear in later Kunio-kun games as well.ĭue to the popularity of the game series, Double Dragon also spawned a series of related media in the United States. Billy and Jimmy also appeared in the 1990 NES game Super Spike V'Ball. Also in 1993, a Game Gear game by Virgin Games was released titled Double Dragon: The Revenge of Billy Lee. A crossover game with the characters from Battletoads was released in 1993 by Tradewest titled Battletoads/Double Dragon, which was released in North America and Europe for various platforms. Technōs produced a fourth game in the series titled Super Double Dragon, released for the SNES in 1992. Both games were also followed by various home versions. ![]() Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons (2023)ĭouble Dragon was followed by two arcade sequels: Double Dragon II: The Revenge in 1988 and Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone in 1990.DOUBLE DRAGON & Kunio-kun Retro Brawler Bundle (2018).Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons (2013).Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls (1994).Double Dragon: The Revenge of Billy Lee (1993).Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones (1991).Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone (1990).Double Dragon II: The Revenge ( NES) (1989).The Double Dragon series consists of the following titles: ![]()
