10/10 comment.

[@RockRedGenesis]

Still love that AVGN joke, cracks me up!

[@NintendoPsycho]

Nowadays, AVGN is a joke.

[@CuppaKofe]

MAAAAAN, I hate to say it, but skipping over the GBA version like that is a HUGE disservice! Despite the smaller screen, it actually plays extremely well. You're the first person I've ever heard say it doesn't play well. I'm kinda surprised.

[@slopesgameroom]

+CuppaKofe hahahaha i have had sooooooo many requests to look at that again. Tempted to do a lets play or something lol

[@Darknight0681]

That’s crazy, it was one of the best releases of that series ever.

[@jessicabayley-williams5827]

@@slopesgameroom if havent done this yet you still need to... it is a gem. so many memories all amazing. as above , the only person to this day ive ever seen look down on it.

[@roundboxfitness3588]

I was just about to comment about this. To me it’s the best version of double dragon. New moves, mechanics (blocking , etc) and new weapons and enemies. Really challenging AI as well.

[@bakerfresh]

I think this GBA was one of the best. Game Play and graphics...music. I definitely liked it more than Neon. Especially if you played it on PC with the emulators linked and played 2 player with one window full screen.

[@jorge1170xyz]

Phenomenal video. A work of Art. One of my fondest childhood memories is walking into the local arcade and "witnessing" Double Dragon for the first time.

[@hibikino]

What about Double Dragon Advance? I think that is a worthy mention. Great controls and nice arrangements of the classics. It also pays homage to some of the best aspects of the series including some classic enemies like the final boss from Double Dragon 2. Graphics are surprisingly good for such a small screen, too.

[@LiarLiarPlantsforHire]

hibikino it's a remake meaning it's not in the timeline

[@XeroFailGames]

I still have that one too this day stil the best one too me

[@niggmac]

Like it’s so seriously underrated

[@crazyoldschool6342]

Love the gameboy advanced one! Still play it.

[@anonymouse9960]

He picked NEO over Advance. Lmao! Shit taste imho. He like the Bouncer!

[@ah5284]

I agree! Double Dragon 3 the Sacred Stone was the best version of the third installment. Super Double Dragon was really fun. Double Dragon 4 (playstation 4 / nintendo switch) is also really fun because it has the same design as DD2

[@Spills51]

HELL YEA! I owned the Gameboy version. Remember those long car rides kicking ass(when I could actually see the screen of course...damn sun)

[@Dino83]

there's nothing better than when one of your favourite youtubers covers a series you grew up with and had mad love for! fantastic video, love it!

[@DODGETHISLUCAS8BIT]

This brings back so many happy memories for me! I remember my brother owning Double Dragon on the Gameboy. I had come so close to completing it and one Saturday Morning I asked to play on it. He agreed and I managed to get to the last stage, avoid those doors that suck you in and with beads of sweat pouring down my face I was somehow able to kill the shadow boss! I ran upstairs to show my brother and he couldn't have been happier! We even owned the master system version and I did play the second one again on Gameboy but could never complete it! An awesome video and I have subscribed to your channel! I am learning stuff about games that I never knew! Keep up the good work!

[@Catkeeper]

My personal favourite in the series is Double Dragon Advance, I think it's the best mechanically the series has every been, without going too goofy like with Neon (though I do love that game also.) I'd love to see a new game in the series buy Reverge Labs, the guys behind Skullgirls, their gorgeous 2D art married with classic brawling gameplay would be bliss.

[@DSan-kl2yc]

Wouldn't you rather they just make an inspired game. A game inspired by DD

[@jbr293854]

Oh man, what a great video. The original DD is probably my fondest memory of gaming as a kid. I was hoping to hear more about the GBA version, though. :( That one is my favorite game on the system, far and away.

[@fedupN]

Know it was only a passing mention, but THANK YOU for mentioning the Bouncer! My friends and I played that game to DEATH back in the day. Had a multitap only to get the full four player experience out of that. It was great!

[@alfaomega5532]

Jesus this brings back memories mate! Recently came across your channel and you've taken me right back to the good old days..😉 Keep up the good work and memories fella 👍

[@xaer0knight]

I loved the 3rd one on the NES. many hours of playing it with my younger brother.

[@connery801]

Mystical Glimmer I loved that one too, only Double Dragon Game I played. 🍻

[@jonathanjimmyshearman2500]

My most favorite of all time is Double Dragon II.

[@Hellwyck]

DD3 "Back flip move" is a German Suplex

[@MrNewland101]

I shouted this out when he said it. Really glad this comment is here.

[@Dungeon_of_Rap]

​@@MrNewland101same 😂

[@jjenk911]

I haven't watched a lot of your videos-I'd have to say that your Kickstarter videos are my favorite-however, these Complete Story series on retro games, I can tell you take a lot of time and research to make these videos, and your love for these games definitely show. I'm glad I found your channel via Larry Bundy, Jr. ('Ello you, again.)

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Finally got around to watching this one all the way through--incredible job, I see why it took so many hours for you to render this beast! Definitely learned a lot about the various ports of Double Dragon games...and now I know why I never really liked most of the games in the series, since Technos Japan wasn't involved with most. Again, great job man, and props for working in a clip of "Once Upon A Time in High School." Love that movie.

[@StevenCusic]

Oh man you forgot the GBA version THAT'S THE BEST ONE!

[@slopesgameroom]

+stevacus maybe i need to play it more. I just wasnt impressed when i booted it up

[@StevenCusic]

what I liked the most about it was the move list, it seemed like a mesh up of double dragon 2 and double dragon returns with other added moves , I enjoyed the music remixes as well. ai was top notch also

[@hugh2hoob668]

I liked 3 on nes the best and the sega version

[@redcrimson1028]

Um.. no its not

[@spectrumparadiseretrogamer9588]

Double Dragon III is a reaally good game on the NES, at least I enjoyed it a lot.

[@jabocdawookie123]

This video brings back a lot of memories of my childhood. Me and my brother were huge fans of Double Dragon and spent loads of our dad's money on it at the arcade. A few years later we saw the commercial for Double Dragon 2 on the NES and were so excited because my brother was getting it for his birthday! It was one of our favorites on the NES along with Ninja Gaiden and Contra.

[@ryansingh8901]

Bruv you have no idea how monumental your channel is. Respect.

[@Freestylr88]

Looking forward to Double Dragon IV this month

[@slopesgameroom]

[@Freestylr88]

You're welcome! A lot of great games are coming out this year ^___^

[@MisanthropikOne]

AvatarTre Harris LMAO!! Jesus, I don't need to hear that! My pockets will be empty this year!

[@Freestylr88]

MisanthropikOne man I'm playing the injustice 2 Beta and that game is great. when it comes to beat ups of our time I would say Let It Die(Free for PS4) and Nioh(really impressed by this game playing the demo I had to pre order it)

[@alopexau]

Did you seriously just say the brilliant GBA remake has 'not so good gameplay'? It's a masterful expansion of the original gameplay, the squishy resolution doesn't hamper it at all. Did you not give it a proper go? I can agree that other than the unfair difficulty DD3 gets way too much flack, it's a good game overall, even if Bimmy and Jimmy stand like they're busting to go to the john, but DD Neon... I can't agree there. To me it looks and feels just awful, with ugly graphics, stiff, robotic animations, suspect collision detection and all the attempted 80's styling feeling forced and cringy.

[@Syklonus]

I disagree. The small screen and washed out colours feel claustrophobic, and that stupid feature of having the enemy move back a few pixels every time they are punched is super annoying, becasue they always end up out of reach. A lot of good features in the game mind you, but it would have been better served on a proper console with a proper screen.

[@trrrmac]

totally (agree) . dude knows not about DD apparently, to the fact that dd neon as his #1 and he rubbish the gba ver. he needs to quit really.

[@MMarcak]

These "Complete History" videos are my favorite. Keep 'em coming guy!

[@slopesgameroom]

The next 3 are all Complete History Videos :) (that is if I can keep up with the editing process lol)

[@MMarcak]

Right on! Can't wait.

[@ChrisVellrath]

Subscribed, that's so much for editing this!!

[@whosaidthat84]

the moment I saw double Dragon in the title I stopped everything and had to watch!! but I gotta disagree with one thing: Double Dragon Advance is phenomenal! I rank it up there with Neon and Part One. Let's hope the franchise can continue soon enough!

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

I'd love to see a Complete History of the Kunio Series! But it'd definitely be a lot of work for you. Over on my channel, I recently did a comparison of the Japanese and American releases of Super Double Dragon and a lot is different between the two. If you have a minute, you might want to give it a look! Keep up the good work, man.

[@BigRico.]

Bro, I have been watching a lot of your videos lately. Well done sir! You are usually spot on. I also love DD NEO. Thanks for all the hard work you do for these. Also I think your accent is a nice change of pace.

[@slopesgameroom]

+RICO “Ragin Rico” ahhhhhhh thanks buddy :) really appreciate the nice words

[@shockz16]

Loved this Dan. Double Dragon has been a favorite arcade game of mine since a child and definitely one I would actually have a dedicated cab for if I had the money and space. My fave home port has and will always be the Game boy version as that's the one I grew up playing. Really glad the Neo Geo tournament fighter got a mention as I recently discovered this game on my MVS multicart and was pleasantly surprised by how well it played. Great work as always buddy :)

[@slopesgameroom]

+shockz16 thanks so much buddy. It was a hard video to make. However, its done really well so happy I did it. Also love doing these sort of vids because i discover games like the neo geo games, I had no idea originally. Thanks 4 commenting buddy

[@fireflocs]

OH MY GOD DO AN ENTIRE KUNIO VIDEO PLEASE.

[@rarecoolitems]

The Double Dragon Arcade was and still is the best. Billy Mitchell = "Winning " 👍

[@TheRogueMonk]

the new 3d gane neon is very bad the graphics and sniation are stiff and uggly

[@Skaera75b]

Probably said it before, I'll probably say it again, but I love your work. The subject matter, the format and the in-jokes? Perfect. I might just marathon these with my cat and a pack of beer. Thank you.

[@ProjectblackstudiosTX]

Just got "Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones" on NES for my Birthday (yesterday). I'm glad you've got this episode... it's great to see the many different ports side-by-side, and in this case, "Double Dragon III" is a game that came out so late in the NES' life cycle in the USA that I *never* saw it for rent, for sale, or in any of my friend's collections. I'm guessing you read that kickass interview with the series creator on Polygon? I wish they'd do more articles like that... it was a fascinating way to blow off an hour at work one day for me. Not that it took an hour to read, but I *did* do a lot of supplementary tabbed browsing based on things featured in the text.

[@TheVonzilla]

Neon was reviewed badly when it came out, the reviews I saw anyway, but I absolutely loved it. The humor was right up my alley, even though the reviews labeled it as dumb and misogynistic. It was the first game since the N64 that a friend and I geeked out and played co-op mode all day a few times. We drank while we did so, which lowered our skill levels enough to make the game slightly difficult. Everything combined made the whole experience feel like I was a kid playing an NES again.

[@bystandah9626]

I'll admit, I have Double Dragon Neon on my Steam wishlist. At first, I wasn't too impressed with how the brothers were portrayed in it. But I watched another clip of how the gameplay works and I want to play it now. However, being the cheap bastard I am, I'm going to wait until the next Steam sale when it's $2. :D

[@TheVonzilla]

+Bystandah $2 or $30, you'll be happy, especially if you have buddies to play with you.

[@bystandah9626]

Probably not with a buddy. Everyone I know is too much into that CoD or Battlefield shit.

[@horsecorpse]

@@TheVonzilla the real question is, does Boognish approve??????????

[@chazgirl6186]

double dragon 3 was so ooooowwwwwwww hard for the nes.

[@GrumpyCat97]

try japanese version, more health and less enemies to fight

[@InmortalWarlordGaming]

[@carlosmarques8380]

I was a kid and played with my dad and only with 2 players we were able to pass to a certain level using and spamming that jump and spin tornado attack with both characters at the same time xD the game was super hard in my opinion, sometimes i was beaten in the the first lvl without even reaching the elevator :v, recently i've played it again and god i'm even worse now

[@fallofsaigon]

GREAT SHOW!!! Love your channel! :)

[@Real1Gaming]

Very well made video. Felt like a documentary! This channel is criminally undersubscribed!

[@slopesgameroom]

+Real1 ahhhh thanks so much buddy, this was indeed a passion project of mine. Crazy good games.

[@RetrOrigin]

Don't know why you showed Streets of Rage III when talking about dreaded 3rd games, to me that's the best in the series gameplay-wise and a lot of people hate it just because of the experimental computer generated music (which I actually preffer over the 1st 2 games music) I understand people liking the 1st 2 SoR games better for whatever reason but that doesn't make the 3rd one a bad game (specially if you play the Japanese version) The platforming sections in DDII are actually stupidly easy, I don't know why people have so much trouble pressing 2 buttons together to jump, the controls are quite responsive. I agree with you on DDIII for the NES, it's actually a great game. People hate it because it's hard. DD Neon on the other hand to me is one of the worst in the series, way too slow and completely hate upgrade/store system. DD Advance to me is the best in the series.

[@slopesgameroom]

+A Neil i am quite a big fan of streets of rage 3 (japan version) however, i still think its the weakest of all 3

[@troywright359]

Daniel Ibbertson ugh the pal version got so screwed with the.music, it slows and speeds up randomly

[@1183newman]

Double Dragon 2 was best on nes

[@GANGRELION]

Didn't know Double Dragon III on the NES was so despised on youtube. I've heard good things about it in other places, and by the looks of it, it doesn't seem bad.

[@denNESdanMAKU]

It´s pretty unfair and thats the reason for all the hate. No Continues... I never gonna beat this game

[@shaolinlueb]

it fucking blows.

[@Dorelaxen]

It was just too damn hard. No continues, which I automatically friggin' HATE. Game wise it was fine, but the difficulty just sunk it.

[@bystandah9626]

+Bishop Parsard+ I've played battletoads since I was 9 back in 1990, I still play it on occasion to day, and in all of those times, I have never beaten it. In fact, I never got even close to beating it. Yet, I still come back for more because it is a great and entertaining game to play. I agree, games were tougher back then, but you got a real sense of accomplishment when you did manage to win one of them, lol. I know I did. :D

[@TheT3rr0rMask]

Mainly cus of AVGN's video. His vids aren't meant to be taken seriously but his fans are a hate mob for every game he reviews.

[@1CoinOnly]

Wow I just stumbled onto your channel. Thanks for your quality content you have a new subscriber :)

[@bigdaddybeats1]

This was a very Gr8 and detail view of Double Dragon!!! Gr8 Work!!!

[@OldManTheseDays]

The arcade version of Renegade was so awesome. When it came out on NES I grabbed it right away and was soooooo disappointed. What a crap fest. And don't get me started on the NES version of DD. Double Dragon. DOUBLE. One player only.

[@slopesgameroom]

+UncleDeluxe it was the 1st releass so i can let it go. But yeah i agree. Massive disapointment

[@aced1972]

Yep, I was a disappointed little boy when I got my NES copy... So much was changed, with such bad graphics and sound... And yeah, no simultaneous play - although they added that horribly-made alternative game built-in where characters would fight each other kind of like Street Fighter - likely a waste of memory they could have put back into the actual game. Oddly, I still played it for hours and hours and hours back then... I remember getting near the end and almost having a panic attack after pausing it and going to eat dinner, because all I could think about was passing the game ASAP and "what if I die and have to start over from scratch?" And yeah, I died shortly upon resuming play. Pretty sure I stayed up all night until I got it. Video games were definitely my first addiction/obsession, and I understand why my parents were always a bit skeptical about them (and I thought THEY were crazy for not understanding at the time)...

[@sideswipe1261]

Age 9 (1988) I was the area “poster child” for Muscular Dystrophy, in my wheelchair. One weeklong fundraiser at the mall had those who gave $1 a chance to choose an icecube to drop on a wok. Their would either be a real diamond or cubic zirconia inside. The last day I had a chance to try. It wasn’t rigged for me- but I got a diamond! I sold it off ASAP, bought a SEGA Master System and DOUBLE DRAGON! My brother and I played it all the time (2-player, baby!). That and Phantasy Star 1 are the 2 games we truly bonded over. It was all meant to happen as it did. Age 19 I discovered I was misdiagnosed, after spending ages 7-14 in a wheelchair. That was a mind-screw, as MD kills every single man with it, usually by age 35-40 down to toddlers. I knew I was going to die. Then “whoops- we were wrong. You never had Muscular Dystrophy.” But I still have my Master System and Double Dragon, and great memories with my brother.

[@NintendoPsycho]

20:19 No mention of all the scrapped material which would've made SDD 10x better?

[@HumbleHurricane]

Yoooo the fact that you opened up with STREETS OF RAGE being your favorite, just won you my instant subscription ✊🏿🔥🔥🔥💯

[@slopesgameroom]

Hahaha massive thanks mate

[@HyperRoboTenguris1984]

This is an amazing retrospective of Double Dragon that I have seen so far (even though DD GBA and DD IV are not on there), and dare I say you did such an awesome job in doing this. I want to clarify something about the Arcade version of Double Dragon III that I'm not sure if anyone in the comments mentioned or not, but that game was actually developed by a Japanese company called East Technology (they made a few other games, including the strange Arcade shmup GIGANDES (which actually has some great music, which I highly recommend you check out on KZbin if you can find it)).

[@WarlockX4]

I try to point everyone in the direction of Double Dragon Neon as possible. I made my own personal history of Double Dragon myself, I was told to check this out. Excellent work

[@moumorgana3016]

Awesome videos. Good production values and great infos. You deserve a lot more subscribers. And the 'backflip move' from DD3 is called a "German Suplex' ^_^.

[@Larry]

Wasn't Combatribes on the SNES supposed to be a Double Dragon game at some point?

[@slopesgameroom]

+Larry Bundy Jr i literally have no idea, u are indeed the guru my man

[@Mike.Garcia]

ha Larry and Daniel, the best retro youtubers!

[@darktetsuya]

I could see that, since both DD3 arcade and Combattribes both used the digital-style font for the hit points display.

[@16bitfightclub34]

Combatribes was more true as sequel than DD3

[@Larry]

RETRO GAMING ARCHIVE I'd say it feels more akin to Renegade, but yeah, it would have fitted far more as a sequel than DD3 does.

[@dk-227]

Not enough focus on the GBA version in my opinion. But otherwise, another great video!

[@slopesgameroom]

+dk227 huge thanks bud. I think i need to try the gba port again lol

[@Andronicus87]

Not enough focus Daniel didn't even talk about it at all he just mentioned it and it is the BEST version of the original.

[@EvilKris]

Jeeeeesus, DD NEon is your pick? DD Neon?!! That's like someone that loves a good burger saying McDonalds is the best. Puh-lease, are you for real? *sigh* Dude, you barely even mentioned the best one- the DD Gameboy Advance. I mean, it has the whole kit and caboodle, brilliant graphics that improve on the original and yet still stay true it, incredible soundtrack. It has EVERYTHING. Secret power moves, multiple routes aikido blocks, a variety of weapons, double tap run, almost every enemy featured in the DD series put into one game. Want more? Storyline, cutscenes, survivor mode...??? Difficulty choices? Frankly, you'd be hard-pushed to find a finer tribute to the original. It gives the fans everything they could dream of. Shit bro, I mean, no offence but you claim to be a guy that knows his beat-em ups, and you've not even mentioned some of the best scrolling beat em ups there is- Crimefighters, Aliens vs Predator, Dungeons and Dragons--for example. And I'll bet you've not even played the king of all beat em ups. SpikeOut. SpikeOut is THE best beat-em up game ever made. Not that Battle Street shite.The arcade original. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWmcm2V5o92DaKs It's still popular here in Japan, there are guys that can one coin it, and the skill required to do so is insane. OK, not meaning to rant. Love your channel. I do appreciate the work you put into your vids. I'll go watch the SORF one. And if you don't even mention the SORF Remake project and sing it's praises then I'll know for sure you have no ability to know good games.

[@TBelly]

Double Dragon IV has released since this video and has helped the series ALOT

[@N0sferat66]

1:20 I can so relate to that. My very first brawler was actually Double Dragon on the Gameboy. I loved it. Never got through the first boss, but I still liked the game. I have played the Atari 2600 version, which I found to be extremely hard. Next brawler, Double Dragon 2 on the NES. Man, that game has become one of my favorite brawlers. I despise the platforming in some versions though... I have discovered Streets of Rage years ago while searching for ROMS and this is still my favorite brawler of all time and one of my many favorite game series on the Sega Megadrive/Genesis. Your video's are superb man. You make quality content and explain everything so well with all the details. I can really hear you are very passionate about the games you talk about, especially the Sega Megadrive games. Even though I like the SNES a lot, the Sega Megadrive is my favorite console of all time too. Keep doing what you are doing, you make excellent content. Cheers!

I'm in the minority who hates Double Dragon Neon. I played it when it was free on PS3 and I couldn't stand how the enemies can interrupt your combos, as a result I couldn't be arsed to grind the points necessary to proceed through it.

[@speedy316uk]

Not the only one, i got it on the XB1 and i thought it was awful and i deleted it off my HD within a week after playing it for 2 hours and i got to the third level and i know what your all thinking "why dont you git gud bro" and my response is i havent got time to GET GOOD at a game that is slow and frankly a little bit stupid

[@diegofloor]

Same here. It's a grinding game, and that's not for everyone.

[@speedy316uk]

diegofloor yeah in an rpg grinding is fine but in a side scrolling beat em up that I play to purely relax you shouldn't have to grind

[@Galdelico]

You're not alone, man. Slow paced, excessively grindy, and visually unappealing, to me. Huge disappointment, back in the days it came out. And, related to the video (brilliant as always, Dan!): I get the 'number 3 syndrome' reference but... Bare Knuckle III? Really? It's a phenomenal game on the MD, in my opinion the most solid and advanced beat'em up on 16 bit consoles. US and PAL versions are stupidly censored, and that hurts the overall experience, but - even if I'm the first one totally understanding the love SoR2 usually gets over 1 and 3 - I'd pick up BKIII any time, if I had to chose my favourite entry in the whole trilogy. I also quite enjoy Golden Axe III, but yeah, I know i'm in a very small minority here. :D

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

mcchrism Then it's not Double Dragon.

[@avalond1193]

Dd3 nes is good game screw avgn and hipsters

[@dizzi3dadarkhorse127]

Just played DDN last night. Love that game. The shop, moves, an stances were awesome. Made it feel like an RPG but more simple with reasonable replay value.

[@oldschoolhiphophd]

Double Dragon 3 for NES was my first Double Dragon and I loved that game a lot, playing with friends it was a blast!

[@TheMan-je5xq]

Old Shool Hip Hop I think that game gets a lot of shit but I played it all the time. I liked the idea of having other characters and weapons but like all games back then it was continues and keeping your progress that was the problem

[@Stea17h]

disliked video due to dismissing the gba version.

[@aced1972]

Disliked comment for neglecting to point out his dismissal of that godawful portable "travel" version in grayscale with one generic controller button for everything. Those were the worst!

[@Rountree1985]

Well gee, thanks for letting us know why you disliked it. I’m sure everyone was wondering.

[@one7decimal2eight]

the room of care is down the hall

[@wallcity318]

Good point that was a good game

[@tartuffethesprywonderdog5883]

Double Dragon Advance is the best game in the franchise.

[@SUBTORR]

Neon is shit, Double Dragon Advance is the best.

[@ThorStoneGaming]

Exactly, wtf is with this dude? Neon felt nothing like DD mechanically.

[@travezripley]

Dude your channel rules hard!

[@lifepresent3183]

Double Dragon 3 for life! Had the best music,best players and you could play for hours and still love it! That was the best game in 1992 or 3 by far. That game kicked so much ass! ! ! LOVE IT STILL . Great video here! How in the world did you get those commercials!

[@AlexOjideagu2]

Americans vastly overrate the NES games

[@OfficialTruDru]

I agree

[@chevy-is-a-good-boy]

Almost everybody views the NES with rose tinted glasses. I have good memories, but I simply can't go back to the older stuff, fun to watch though.

[@AlexOjideagu2]

In the UK Double Dragon was respected as an ARCADE game, not a shitty 8 bit port. Nobody thought the home versions were better, unlike American NES fan boys.

[@bystandah9626]

I'll admit, I'm american and I grew up on the NES versions without having played the arcade editions. However, I picked up the Double Dragon trilogy on Steam during their winter sale 6 months ago. It made perfect sense: I've always wanted to play the arcade originals and it was on sale, so I picked it up. After playing the original arcade ports, I was impressed and can't believe that I haven't played them before. Sure, I still go back and play the NES versions once in a while, but the arcade originals are superior and my absolute favorites.

[@LiarLiarPlantsforHire]

ojideagu arcade is better

[@lockardthegoat5157]

Urgh, that Double Dragon movie. Such crap.

[@Issac_The_Last_N7]

I always loved unleashing the flying knee into enemies in Double Dragon 2. Used to laugh my butt off when i was a kid

[@RetroGamerVX]

great video, lot of work gone into that. Never been into bear em ups as i can never get hang of the controls but im much more educated now :)

[@franciscop1192]

BattleToads and Double Dragon was a very enjoyable game for me, Thanks for this video, it is very interesting!

[@Aarzak]

Double Dragon 2 (NES), Double Dragon 3 (NES) and Super Double Dragon (SNES) are the one I played and they are the best IMO

[@DeeDeeKL]

my neighbor managed to go thru the whole SMS DD without getting hit ... remember it till today like it was yesterday :-) he didnt even came into my house, i was at that time living on the ground floor, so he was just standing in the window and from three meters on a 72cm TV .. he managed it ... its 20 years and i still didnt beat his record :-D ... and Renegade, dont start me on that... Had it on Sharp MZ-800 (between Exolon and Saboteur 2 - damn, so many years back and i still remember that it was on tape "7B")... keep up the good work mate! Whenever i watch a US oldie reviewer its like "yeah, wish i had that", but with the UK ones its like "yeah, remeber that, played this, so thats the purpose of this game" :-) ...

[@RetroCynical]

my favorite video thus far, I love Double Dragon, definitely a franchise that shouldn't be forgotten (minus the flaws in a couple of the games lol).

[@slopesgameroom]

Thanks mate :) And yes, I agree too, awesome as hell series

[@fumomofumosarum5893]

your editing is really great.

[@respect4all759]

Love these vids! Please more!

[@chrismcauley7945]

Absolutely excellent video!!

[@slopesgameroom]

Cheers mate. This was one of my face 4 sure

[@ChadKenova]

I love your videos i like longer videos to sit down and watch, i had a sega master system and double dragon me and my best friend was the only 2 kids to have sega master systems. I got a nes later but my first system was the sega and it will always have a special place in my heart and mind.

[@slopesgameroom]

+Chad Hay ahhhhh im glad you enjoy the content :) thanks chad

[@RedSplinter36]

I really really really can't wait to hear what you have to say about DD IV!!!! please make a video review?!?!?!? Keep up the amazing work brother!

[@joesmith-qv1jf]

I had this on the master system around 1990. 2 player was brilliant! I used to play it with my cousin it's making me feel so nostalgic thinking about it.

[@joesmith-qv1jf]

I remember those bald, bigger bastards. There's loads of them in the later levels.

[@johnathangodbolt]

Hahaha, that initial opening line was perfect, followed by the "cut" to SOR2. Brilliant.

[@Chuloloc]

Awesome. No matter the ups or down, still my favorite game franchise of all time. Hail Double Dragon.

[@shaggydee8845]

great video mate

[@KindaCool]

Double Dragon - the first game I gladly waited in line to play in the arcades. There was such an energy around this title when it first came out! I didn't see that type of excitement again until the release of Street Fighter 2 years later...

[@themeanlesbeann]

I have fond memories of playing DD2 with my little brother on the NES as kids. I think I was 5 or 6 when we got our copy of it. We weren't great it lol but we had fun replaying those first few levels over and over.

[@NEROBAT1]

Great video was wating for something like this one :)

[@slopesgameroom]

+Nero Zohar more than wel ome buddy glad u like it :)

[@onaretrotip]

Great video, Dan! I can see now why the render took so bloody long, a lot going on there.

[@slopesgameroom]

hahaha, yep, Spent a long time on this bad boy :D

[@troywright359]

Daniel Ibbertson that's the worst thing, sometimes videos can take a few days if they're intensive to render, and I've even had them fail on occasion. At least when compressing them into mp4 format, doing it in avi is quicker but the file sizes are too big

[@sammyyo461]

21:14 YEEESSS!! "Battletoads/Double Dragon" that was my first "BATTLETOADS" game!! So many great memories playing that game with my best friend back then!! I was around 7 or 8 years old....

[@johnathangodbolt]

AH! YES! I was hoping you would point out "Bimmy and Jimmy" at some point. Well done, haha. Very well done.

[@werehold]

Double Dragon 4 came out RIGHT after this and is friggin amazing if you think 2 for the NES was great.
