I REMEMBER PLAYING THIS WITH MY BROTHER BACK IN 1992 IT BREAKS MY HEART THAT I'LL NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO PLAY IT WITH HIM EVER AGAIN. R.I.P MICHAEL I'LL ALWAYS TREASURE THOSE FOND MEMORIES

It’s crazy how video games and their music stick with you through life. I often remember these melodies and think of simpler times! Being a kid was awesome!

[@ChadKlingensmith]

yeah I had stage 2's music stuck in my head for the longest time whenever I went to the airport.

[@NathanJennings1222]

I actually like Super Double Dragon more than Final Fight, though Final fight 3 is pretty good.

[@mabbpillo8204]

I use to play it with my brother too. That was awesome, I want to play it with my brother again.

[@Monado6]

30s as well this game was too slow. Compared to dd2 the revenge nes

[@mikeychainsaw9760]

Same here always go for the two player games so me and my brother can kickass together. I love the fact that it slow you can feel ever kick and punch and flykick. Iam in my 40s and want to get back in the fight the streets need us

Its so cool to read all these memories about this game.

Same on Christmas lol

[@lanewarriorillridez3739]

I'm 44 years old and was a freshman in highschool when I also gotten this as a Christmas gift. I also got that XMen fighting game at well.

[@jasonmonster]

I think this game is very underrated. The combat system is completely unique in the beat 'em up genre, and requires you to use strategy and counter attacks to be effective. The slower pace gives it a more tactical fighting experience that no other game has since replicated. Just imagine what Technos could've done with more development time. Also, the soundtrack is a kick'n up-tempo affair that gets the adrenaline flowing right out of the gate. Like I said: underrated. Edit: forgot to mention how much I love the animation in this game. There are lots of little details in every frame that make you feel like a badass when you're throwing down.

[@willia3r]

Naw, its rated just right. Its sluggish and could've been programmed much better. SNES got a much more powerful system than the Sega Genesis. And yet what it produce was a sub-par beat-em up game, with a weak background track. Sega Genesis did much better with the first _Streets of Rage_ (1991) and _Streets of Rage 2_ (1992), the latter coming out at the same time as Super Double Dragon. Tradewest really dropped the ball massively with SDD, Im sorry to say.

[@Bloodreign1]

@@willia3r Technos Japan, Tradewest just licensed it for US release. It's said this game is largely unfinished, but was released as is.

[@GatsuKS]

I agree with you. When I remember these old beat em ups I always think of this and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.

[@RickyIcecubes]

​@@willia3rI agree. One of the best things about SNES was the beat 'em ups. I think Streets of Rage 2 is the best one of that generation; but overall SNES had better beat 'em ups, and lots of them. Sega only had a few. I wouldn't call SDD the weakest beat 'em up on SNES, but it's definitely lower tier than many other superior options. It didn't feel like a true next gen 90's beat 'em up, it felt more like a dressed up 80's beat 'em up. As poorly as SDD sold, it wasn't the game that killed the series. That game was DD5 which was a lousy SF2 ripoff.

[@Notes_of_Nostalgia]

This is the best Double Dragon game period.. The gameplay mechanics, the music, the style and the vibe is just perfect. I'm still surprised to this day that we never got another sequel in the same style or heck a remaster of this absolute gem would be amazing.

[@lecapitaineisonyoutoob]

I'll never get over this game's counter system. I don't think any other 2D brawler ever did something this stylish, not even the later DD games.

[@craigjohnson9343]

Definitely

[@linkbombchu168]

The arm lock is so stylish. You can really feel the impact of the guy coming in to smash you and you catch his arm and lock it

[@lanewarriorillridez3739]

Actually Streets Of Rage 2 is the only game I know of at that level but you can get your ass handed to you on the hardest and mania difficulty level.

[@asavage43]

Bro has literally brought a tear to my eye..... I loved this game so much

[@rcblazer]

Me and my friend used to play this game all the time on SNES! Whether you were beating guys up with your martial arts moves or smacking them with whatever weapons you could get your hands on, this game was a blast!

@@chiarosuburekeni9325 FACTS

[@damionjackson3029]

This game was definitely ahead of it's time

[@VegasAceVII]

One of the most challenging and formulaic beat 'em titles. On single player, you must know exactly what you're doing and how the characters movesets function. This is not a button masher. It held this game back from greatness but just like back then, I still appreciate the difficulty. The enemy AI makes it highly inaccessible for casual players of beat 'em ups. Two players made it easier but it wasn't exactly a cake walk if you're partner wasn't very good.

[@Bones98]

Needs to be remastered and re-released!

[@evanstonbalce9588]

I agree, it should be on the current platforms.

[@mikeychainsaw9760]

Hell yeah. That double dragon neon was trash.

[@docsavage4921]

It kind of was. Look up "Legend of the Double Dragon".

[@gr8gmr]

I'm surprised it wasn't on the SNES Classic.

Remasters are always terrible. Just tweak a few things, like give it some cutscenes, and replace that weak punch sound with something meatier.

[@NintendoComplete]

Even being as clearly rushed as Super Double Dragon was, it's still an excellent game and a vast improvement over Double Dragon III. If only Technos had had the time to finish it! Anyone else stoked about the official US physical release of Return of Double Dragon on SNES later this month?

[@NintendoComplete]

That's exactly what it is. It has more moves, more levels, stuff has been rebalanced. It's the same game, but it's a good upgrade.

[@NintendoComplete]

Poison No, it's the Japanese release. It came out later there than the US version, so in the interim they continued working on it. We got 1.0, that's all.

[@AlidarJarok1]

Oh very nice. This is one snes game I have yet to get. I might have to look into the new version.

[@ancientone5903]

NintendoComplete Now that you mentioned it, Super Double Dragon should of been released around 1994 if not 1995. And since Technos went out of business means it would have to fall under the hands of someone to determine what it would look like if it ever was completed.

[@YukaTakeuchiFan]

I always did like this game. Yeah, now it's common knowledge just how much was cut, but at the time, the game still felt complete enough to where you'd never have guessed how much was left on the cutting room floor. It certainly didn't stop me from spending a significant part of my teenage years attempting to beat it without using a continue (came close, never quite pulled it off). I even like the somewhat slower pace; gives you a little room to put that (at the time) massive arsenal of moves you had to use for a little extra style. =3

[@docsavage4921]

Ever hear of OpenBor? Sort of the RPGmaker for brawlers. Well, a fan went and made his own remake, with all the cut stuff and more. Legend of Double Dragon, it's called.

[@troybilko]

The amount of moves you can do in this game is impressive. Lots of of beatem ups just seem to use 3 buttons (attack and jump). This used several combinations with block techniques and a charge meter for some big attacks too. I don’t understand the development of this game but it had to of been several teams or severely rushed because one aspect (the combat) way over shadows everything else. No story to really speak of and no satisfying ending. Basically, just move right and destroy people. So I’m wondering if this had been developed with time and care how it would of turned out? I mean, the combat is really complex.
