One of my favourite NES games. The lack of 2-Player mode was sad, but understandable seeing as it was Technos first NES game and they were avoiding any sprite flicker. The combat was very similar to the arcade, and the extra levels really gave value for money. Just to say, Renegade did get two official sequels, but they were for the 8-Bit Microcomputers only. Target Renegade was even better than the first game, but Renegade 3 was lacking.

Definitely a banger of an episode, and New Sensation as well as that Double Dragon opening music really hit the spot. Double Dragon also shows the wisdom in knowing a console's limitations when doing an arcade port, something that some developers were much better at that others. Looking forward to when Double Dragon shows up in Segaiden in the Master System version for contrast.
@ginormousaurus83943 жыл бұрын
Relatively faithful arcade ports were a selling point for the Sega Master System, given Sega's multitude of arcade games and the Master System's superior graphical capabilities compared to the NES. However, there's not much reason to play many of the arcade ports for the Master System nowadays. The availability of better versions has made them redundant. The arcade conversions for the NES that aged well tended to work within the console's limitations and offered content not found in the arcade originals.

Loving the level of deep detail provided as always. For anyone who wasn't there, it's impossible to understand just how inaccessible everyday foreign cultures - especially those like Japan which were entirely without lexical cognates - were at the time. We got a warped orientalist fantasy interpretation of samurai culture, degrading salaryman stereotypes, visual art, a bowdlerized version of Zen, sushi and some giant robots. But the visual semiotics of every day life - caricature style, religious & folk myth iconography, 99% of food culture etc. may as well have come from an alien planet, their embedded cultural genealogies being so removed from Euro-American culture streams as they were. People living in Vancouver, Hawaii or San Fransisco may have had access to Japanese diaspora-owned shops with video rentals & out of date magazines. But for everyone else, it required a lot of digging through libraries, if the information was there at all. Seeing all this stuff in video games growing up and wondering what on Earth it all was definitely had an impact on my going into academia.

It negates the need for dawdling that you mentioned, but it's more of an exploit than a strategy. That, and the game's brutal instakill parade in the back half sort of negates the combat skills you're earning, as you state in the video. ALSO: +1 like for this great retrospective.

MMC1 could only switch graphics in 4KB size chunks. This meant that if the set of enemies changed, then the player's graphics had to be duplicated into that graphics bank, and this was a wasteful use of space. A few MMC1 games did things slightly differently, and put the enemy graphics inside of the background tileset, such as Clash at Demonhead. So when the environment type changes, the enemies change along with it. Then finally, MMC3 threw all those problems out the window, and let the player and enemy graphics be switched independently of each other.

My first exposure to Double Dragon was on the Game Boy and I loved it enough to feel compelled to play it on NES. At the time I thought it was going to be the exact game as it was on Game Boy, but in color, so it blew my mind when it was a completely different game. I really liked the NES version until I got to that brick wall in Mission 4, which I was never able to get past and turned me off the game. I watched a playthrough of the 4th mission on the legitimately awful Secret Video Game Tricks - Codes and Strategies VHS, and even the pros were not able to beat that level without video editing tricks. My biggest personal biggest disappointment, however, is that the Game Boy version has the complete track of the mission intro theme in 4-1, whereas the NES version only has like 5 seconds of it.

A genre soon followed. Games like Final Fight improved on Double Dragon with better graphics. More refined gameplay and additional characters to choose from. Streets of Rage brought the format home into a console friendly format. Konami applied popular media licenses like X-Men, The Simpsons, Bucky O'Hare, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, while adding additional power to support 4 or even 6 players. For several years, co-op brawlers in the vein of Double Dragon dominated arcades. Ultimately fading only when they were supplanted by one-on-one fighting games or not. All of this is to say that when Double Dragon hit the NES, the audience was primed for it.
