Dragon Brothers (Double Dragon Theme) - River City Ransom

[@dragonore2009]

The 80s and early 90s were definitely the golden years in video gaming.

[@mr.awesome6011]

Yes we know. Obligatory "80s/90s I'm old and give me likes comment"🙄

[@hazelgoodshepherd9315]

We are the infamous Dragon Twins. Don’t expect to leave here in one piece.

[@corjonbett]

BARF!!

[@corjonbett]

Ok, we give up, you're too strong. Slick is just ahead!

[@vaiyt]

The fight made perfect sense when you look at the original; it's a game about Japanese delinquents, and it's all about beating up everyone to show you're the baddest guy in town. Who were the baddest guys in the videogame brawling business at the time? Why, the Lee brothers, of course. So let's beat them up.

[@gr8gmr]

I also like how they're the hardest opponents in the game, even harder than the final boss.

[@infamouspotato2028]

@@gr8gmr and they were the protagonists from game double dragon, I never realized that XD

[@gr8gmr]

@@infamouspotato2028 Well, they're based on the protagonists from Double Dragon. The protagonists are the Lee brothers, Billy and Jimmy.

"Oh nuts. These guys... better keep them stunlocked in the corner with a chain!"

[@gr8gmr]

​@@infamouspotato2028But I guess you can say they are Billy and Jimmy recreated for the River City series.

[@fitzinabox]

I beat this game for the first time yesterday. Been playing this game for 20 years and finally beat it. When i heard this theme i got chills.

[@Wulfplague]

This song... It is the epitome of epicness.

[@Obeezee1]

😭

[@gr8gmr]

So glad to see Ryuichi and Ryuji (Randy and Andy) appear in Smash Bros. Ultimate, even if they are just spirits.

[@LoneRebel]

Dragon Feet & Stone Hands....definitely two must have abilities everytime I played this, especially battling the Twins at the end. 😳

[@mikerine5438]

I'd get the grand slam and dragon feet

[@Deaganus]

My brother and I grinded for so long for him to get Grand Slam to house the two of them. My job was running kick one of them if they fell out of the pile. We beat Slick/Simon so bad we thought he was an anti climatic joke boss

[@MaximumSpiderMvC]

"I'm history, dude!"

[@GunRuleTv]

“Yo Dude, chill out”

[@nategreatgames78]

I remember getting near the end of this game and hearing this music thinking wtf, then when I saw the boss fight this leads into I started cracking up before thuroughly getting my butt handed to me.

[@kibegamimultimedia]

I remember I LOST IT when I heard that when I reached the brothers near the last boss. I was thinking 'Wait.. Is that Billy and Jimmy Lee?' but their names were different 'Oh.. They want to be like them!' Lol But I shed a tear hearing that and had a hard time fighting them because DD was the first game I played before RR. Because I remembered that flashing title screen from DD.

[@ElFino013]

Just rediscovered this song and can't believe that I'd forgotten how awesome this song is.

[@ponocni1]

I really love river city ramson, beat style like double dragon, but with more personality. more fun.

[@Sun-dx1ks]

double dragon is part of the kunio kun games and rcr is in the kunio kun series too sooooo...

[@marianogamer6261]

double dragon(nes):charming and fun rcr:awesome and fun

[@david02129]

I think it's funny that the DD theme from RCR is better than the original game's rendition.

[@in_vas_por8810]

I know this is a 4 year old comment but this theme is actually the real theme of the original double dragon arcade game. Its not really a "rendition" cause they didn't try to change anything. It just sounds good on nes.

[@KennethRobinson-hl7sg]

@@in_vas_por8810 the people that created double dragon are the same people that created river city ransom it was an awesome game my older brother use to play it's heart breaking I'll never in this life time be able to play this game with him again😢

[@megamak84]

haha i remember standing up with my friend and we were like "OMG DOUBLE DRAGON"

[@BenJabituya]

Billy and Jimmy Lee sent me here! NOW I CAN'T UNHEAR THIS!!!

[@hazelgoodshepherd9315]

Fun fact: If you have the Dragon Feet and Stone Hands equipped and get into a scuffle in close quarters with Randy or Andy, you can literally block a Cyclone Kick. No lie.

[@troyy99]

"If you don't have an ally, you're fucked" theme

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

Or the Grand Slam and a weapon.

[@Snuftastic]

I remember playing RCR with my older brother for the 1st time and this tune starts playing the twins show up we scream of excitement omg double dragon etc and takes 10secs and we swearing like hell we got owned so hard XD good times ;)

[@Obeezee1]

Omfg that was how my cousin and I reacted. Just to get our asses whipped severely

[@ricardohuff8774]

This version of double dragon sounds so much better.

[@Krazywoot]

I was so surprised when this came on, I was like DOUBLE DRAGONS lolololol! Then I proceeded to get my ass kicked. Came back with a couple of those jolt colas and OWN3D em.

[@WarDragonOfTheLight]

River city ransom is like Double Dragons mixed with Gran Theft Auto and an rpg.

[@tjrriffic]

How can you not get pumped up and wanna punch someone to this?

[@wolverinex4243]

If you don't have at least stone hand, the Double Dragons will make you barf.

[@Dashawn2007SigmaBlood]

I KNEW I HEARD THIS 🎶 SOMEWHERE!! I never played double Dragon till 2011 and heard the theme song. Now I know where I heard this 🎶. (Double Dragon is indeed a masterpiece).

[@BaronNate]

there's a few more notes in the initial run up than on the NES version and this version is actually better in my opinion. Listen to both and you can hear it, this one sounds more "full" and complete.

[@sabin97]

i still remember the first time i got to that point in the game all those years ago... it was epic...

[@brianziegenbein7662]

They kicked the living shit out of me the first time I got here as a kid. I wanted to read the dialogue of course. As soon as they finished talking they mopped the floor with me.

[@sabin97]

@@brianziegenbein7662 they kicked my ass repeatedly. and even as an adult if i dont time things correctly they sometimes still kick my ass....they are both clowns but very strong.

このシリーズのＢＧＭはすばらしい

[@pseudonamex2]

I remember when i was a kid and this music started playing i said to my friend "Dude! Thats the double dragon song, thats cool, but why-..." the we proceeded to get a massive beat down as the Dragon Twins showed up outta left field and started whomping on us XD

[@Obeezee1]

Same here dude. I was playing the Kunio game on android and heard this song out of nowhere and it blew my mind haha

[@mr2jzgtte]

dont let them surround you!!!

[@JokersRWildStudios]

I played this game for the first time over 15 years ago and no matter what I did i could never beat the Dragon Twins. Tonight, on the Wii version I beat the dragon twins and then beat Simon on the first try. So worth it. :-)

[@thewarrior46]

@Nintendavin When this song came on......IT....IS.....TIME.... the make it or break it point in the game right here in the game

"Ok, this isn't so hard, just kill this guy and..." * *This theme starts* "OH FUCK"

[@acebobbomb]

It took me years to play this game, and I gotta say, it’s a masterpiece! Who ever came up with this game is a fucking genius, sorry for my language!🤭 but this game is fucking awesome! It’s the best beat ‘em side scroller I’ve ever played! I played the Japanese version first and just fell in love with it! And one day, I hope they release a 3D remake of this! The only problem I had with the game is the gap between in the buildings, if you played the game you’ll know what I’m talking about, it made it difficult to back track! But overall this is a solid game, and anyone who loves RPG brawlers like the Yakuza games, this game is what influenced Yakuza, although they’re different from each other but they share the same style! I can’t say enough how good this game is! If you wanna play this, play the Japanese version it’s better!👍

[@oldstylegaming4655]

Yeah a lot of Japanese games made by technos are awesome.

[@acebobbomb]

Old Style Gaming they sure are!👍 but I wasn’t a big fan of Double Dragon!

[@oldstylegaming4655]

@@acebobbomb I was mostly talking about Nekketsu games and not just DD

[@acebobbomb]

Old Style Gaming I agree with you, the DD games were stiff, but RCR starts off stiff but as you progress it gets easier and the combat is more better!

[@oldstylegaming4655]

@@acebobbomb because either you have the Grand Slam & a weapon or a move that upgrades your attack speed. It makes it Too easy.

Bimmy and Jimmy. Aw Hell...

[@borinightmare]

I played this game alot and whenever I reach the Dragon Twins stage it reminded me of Double Dragon.

[@mr.awesome6011]

Probably because this is the Double Dragon theme.

[@Yarsh52]

X-Strike Studios made an RCR movie and there is a remix of the Dragon Brothers theme for that fight, which is totally awesome!

OMG i didn play this is like years. first time when this song came on at the twins i was like holy hell. already knew it was gonna be a epic battle and had it set hard at the time. had a fun 10min+ damn i miss this game. they should remake this for the hell of it. on wii:). or hell. on ps3

[@corjonbett]

When you hear this begin playing, get ready for the fight of Kunio's LIFE! These two are fast, strong AND coordinated! NEVER let the Twins get on either side of you, unless you WEANT to get massacred!
