Hey, Top Hat Gaming Man. Can you please do a review of The Bouncer for the PlayStation 2 in a future video?

[@moonlightblade11]

I called for sonny lee and i got sonny lee! He is my main now, very pleased with his presentation, love his drunken fist style moves. I must thank you Top hat for your platform is a great inspiration of info for developers and to Raymond for contacting you and creating such a masterpiece.✌🏼

[@SecretBase]

Wao, I wasn't expecting a 30 minute video! So happy to hear that you are having fun, and liking the new characters. And thanks again for covering what happens over development. Tbh, with the game now released, I can barely remember the gruelsome period when I look back. It's like time fast forwarded and I suddenly have a game on my hand, but also lost a few years of my life. Such a surreal feeling! In any case, I am glad it was recorded in this video, and I will definitely return to watch time and time again :)

[@Unquestionable]

Wanted to tell you as a life long Double Dragon fan you made one of the absolutely most amazing games in the series! I bought it day one on Switch after being hyped from the reveal trailer and was not disappointed in the least. Seeing how much hard work and love went into it's creation has only made me appreciate it more. Very much looking forward to any and all future projects and going to pick up Streets of Red (which I can't believe passed me by before now, looks great!). Thanks so much for expanding on one of the all time great franchises and giving us fans a modern classic.

[@DaysOfTheDeadFilmFestival]

As a horror convention and film festival, we love horror and beat ‘em ups. It’s great to get friends and fans together and play. I’m curious if you’re planning a sequel to Streets of Red or some late DLC for that project? Or, another horror related project? Thank you for the impressive work on Double Dragon Gaiden. I’m kicking around the idea of having a small tournament at our events for Streets of Red since it’s horror centered….or Double Dragon Gaiden (though it’s not horror).

[@MortimurGrimm]

Will there be an Anniversary Edition coming with more content, or does the game wrap up with this DLC? Thanks for all the incredible work you put into this game, making this franchise great again.

[@SecretBase]

@@MortimurGrimm It's TBD at the moment. The free DLC did performed better than we anticipated, so it's not impossible :) And thanks for the compliment. It makes me all the more happy knowing that it's a worthy entry to a legendary franchise.

[@MatiasGomez-dt6mp]

I downloaded this game last night and i´m loving it! The first character i unlocked was Sonny, so i still have a lot of hours and fun ahead. Thank you for this awesome game and i hope it gets more content in the future

[@mrkarate8134]

Growing up in the early 80s playing Double Dragon at the arcade room was such a treat especially seeing how the graphics were completely better than the NES version. I love how this Double Dragon game keeps all of the original music from the Arcade version from the 80s.

[@ufcfan3940]

It was my `favorite as a kid in the 80s

[@mrkarate8134]

@@ufcfan3940 Hell yeah 🔥🔥

[@mattdarrock666]

I got to play the DLC pretty hours after its release and defiinitely enjoyed it. Sonny is my favorite character so far! I just hope they act on the suggestions i emailed them not long ago (They responded and said they would forward them to the devs). For those curious it was 1) give different endings to unlockable characters and 2) a ''hard mode'' where you must play through every stages completely, with the bosses at max strength.

[@jamman7344]

What makes this almost better than Streets of Rage is the fact that they release extra characters when Streets of Rage creators could not even give you Skate!

[@chriswheatley3146]

I highly recommend the River City Girls series, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, and TMNT: Shredders Revenge. They're all peak modern brawlers.

[@Foreverdensword]

Streets of rage 4 also

[@chriswheatley3146]

@@Foreverdensword It's really good, but I found it a little disappointing compared to the ones listed (same with the DD game in this video). Still definitely worth a pickup though.

[@DrezzyEFTP]

@@Foreverdensword difficult to find someone playing online though

[@ramonantoniodejuanbennett6239]

Also try SD Final Fight for the android. It's a prototype for Final Fight 4, and it's has the same sprites and style as Double Dragon Gaiden. It's fun too?

[@arcademcfly1039]

For some reason these modern brawlers remind me of like Metal Slug or something

[@johnpaulgontor2362]

Double Dragon needs a anime

[@KenMasters.]

The franchise needed a series of mangas, animes and OVAs a long time ago. Instead we got forgettable comic books, a live-action flop, and a cartoon that has nothing to do with the games.

[@KenMasters.]

@@johnpaulgontor2362 I mean instead of mangas, animes and OVAs of Double Dragon. America gave us comics, a cartoon and a live-action movie that are all poorly received.

[@nathanielhickmanll6498]

Sure does!!❤

[@Popularkids86]

​​@@KenMasters.but unfortunately the cartoon is already got rerelease on blu-ray thanks to disco-tek media and also the live-action double dragon movie got officially rereleased on blu-ray also 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 so yeah that's why lay off on the f***ing nostalgia idiot. The nostalgic curse unfortunately continues.

[@Hyowatta]

The Anime needs to be in the Fist of The North Star art style that Arc System Works uses for the Double Dragon instruction booklets and promotion materials.

[@Phoenixryu]

I really like what they did with Sonny. His drunken jeet kun do style really sets him apart. He needs a nap an to lay off the hard stuff though... lol

[@ToruKurosawa]

The only thing I don't like personally is the pixel art style... I seen enough of rough pixels growing up in the 80's / 90's. I prefer how SOR4 looked.

[@gstqcomics2017]

Agreed

[@angelotero7729]

if they did the TMNT pixel art it would look better

[@a.jackson6259]

Facts

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

I don’t really mind the pixels, I just wish they went with “realistic” models like the original game. Not really a fan of the super-deformed chibi models. It’s like they just turned Double Dragon into Kunio-kun.

[@calvinyoutube3116]

Double Dragon Neon was the better looking DD series, with much room to improve. I also dislike pixel art, cute characters are acceptable for me though. Would have appreciate if next DD game will have graphic style of SOR4 and Mayhem Brawler.

[@EpicLebaneseNerd]

i live by 1 rule for the DD games , the more DD3 content i see, the better, the NES version of DD3 is still, by far, one of the best games i ever played and still do, so seeing the gang back in DD GAIDEN was a major joy, even the dojo level is there, smashing.

[@chriswheatley3146]

DD3 NES gets a lot of criticism due to its difficulty. It's actually is a decent game and not really that hard once you figure out how to play it. DD3 arcade (and all based on it) is pretty bad though.

[@EpicLebaneseNerd]

@@chriswheatley3146 i played it on release on the famicom, it was standard nes hard, nothing more, nothing less, me, my kid bro and my 2 younger cousins, all not even teens, would finish it without a problem, and yes, the arcade one, the port on the megadrive and the pc dos were so so so bad, shame, it had cool ideas, and the graphics were amazing, until they moved.

[@jaywilk7249]

Bro, having them reach out and research your channel for the new game is freaking incredible. Congrats. You've just sky-rocketed by desire to start a youtube channel for things that interest me. All the work has paid off.. Salute!!!

[@captainmartin1219]

Does anyone remember the double dragon comic book from the 90s? In that book one brother used kicks most of the time while the other brother used punch type moves mostly. I believe thats why billy and Jimmy in this game both focus on either punches or kicks mostly.

[@willdiesel8431]

I don't remember it but that could be a distinct possibility. Also it could just be another way to distinguish the brothers even further...similarly to how Ryu and Ken were changed up so much during the Alpha era.

[@falconeshield]

Bimmy and Jimmy

[@soggybread4583]

Its been a thing since double dragon ios actually

[@HollowNoFace]

I remember. I remember the movie too. I think this is how the game looked back then if I can recall.

[@jonathananderson5990]

I remember it well. It was published by Marvel. It got wild towards the end where it implied that Billy and Jimmy Lee may have a more than vague connection to a certain noteworthy person named "Stan". 😂😂

[@Valentine82]

Me and my brother completed the original Double Dragon in the arcade back in the day. I also love Double Dragon 2 on the NES!

[@officalharryweldonyoutube2094]

I didn't like the art style of the game and I didn't like the art style of DD Neon at first but I decided to give both games a try and I love them. I am glad they're bringing us DLC I am looking forward to it.

[@carterh914]

I know we just got this free update but I feel like there's still some characters that still need to be in this. But overall this is a great game and actually one of my favorite games of last year.

[@shinvaX]

Can't wait to play this later this week off work. You should cover Legend of Double Dragon a fanmade game based on Super double dragon. I heard the original creator had a hand in making 16-bit abobo and linda sprites.

[@JetLagRecords]

Top Hat Gaming Man, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!

[@captainmartin1219]

The game was a more more fun that I thought it was going to be based on the look of it. I still hope we get a sequel with characters that look more like the first two arcade games. Double dragon gaiden 2 the revenge any one? I wish some one was online. I have not been able to find a match online yet.

[@TheLivingDeadFormats]

Sonny Lee is my FAVOURITE Double Dragon character. So glad they brought him back for Gaiden. He needed the beefed up back Story so badly. My head cannon is that he's a Dad to 4 kids and doesn't get much sleep or able to keep up with training, but still wants to prove himself as a martial artist.

[@360entertainment2]

Knowing you get to have a hand in developing a franchise you love has got to be an ecstatic experience, I’m happy for you!

Still can’t get the final achievement “defeat royals in mission 4”. I’ve done this countless times on Xbox and still nothing. Anyway it’s a great game and they really could do with unlockable colour palettes for all characters. Or better yet allow players to customise the palettes themselves.

I admit that the graphics and character design in this game is meh. But I bought it for under $30 new and the game is very fun to play. So its a keeper in my PS4 collection.

New characters are fine... game is still dumb easy though. It needs way, way more depth to the difficulty sliders and more options to em too. Ranzou with the glass cannon mod in survival is definitely a win condition. I got bored 20 levels deep and it didn't do anything more aggressive for the next 30 or so until i let myself get killed from the boredom.

Survival mode glitches and freezes once you get past about $30k... also the online coop is very laggy. Also, very few ppl online and hard to find a game. Still enjoy the free characters, but this is not a great execution... Co sidering online play should have obviously been available at launch. Comments are regarding Switch version.
