Topic: The return of Bimmy & Jimmy to VC. Double Dragon II impressions thread.

...Excellent.

[/div]

i watched the game to the end a few times, still on the fence about it. its definitely leaning towards battletoads over double dragon. theres no way its as hard as the first battletoads game. im not sure ive played it, i may have rented it back in the day.

I'd think if it was a famous typo, they'd leave it in.
Sure the Zelda intros had some wacky English, but I don't think anyone ever really quoted them.
Except for "I AM ERROR.", though some might not have played long enough to find out he actually IS named Error.

I never understood why people thought that was a mistake. I never questioned it when I was a kid playing the game. Someone in another town tells you to talk to Error and then when you see Error again he tells you how to get to level 3. I guess most people just found level 3 by accident and never did the whole 'go talk to Error' thing.

believe it or not my real name is actually Error so i thought it was cool to see my name in the game.

A bit off topic, but... everyone talks about Bimmy & Jimmy, but nobody questions this.
Nintendo, right on the box!

(they even spelled it right in Mario & Wario, made two years earlier)

There is one reason why Double Dragon II for the NES is so awesome. "The Cyclone Kick" !

Nuff said

@Rawk_Hawk

What about the Hyper Knee? That was the greatest move ever.

id say dd2 is a LITTLE easier...dd2 has its funny jumps sometimes though. the action is way more intense in it and it just makes for a better game. i see everyones curiosity in dd3 but id have to peep the good way to get through that game, as i seen some major cheating with using the other characters in that game. but back to dd2 i stress: dont forget you have to beat the game on "supreme master" to get the final boss and real ending.

That one is great too!

I think the DD2 is the "easiest" of the three because the amount of hits that Billy and Jimmy are able to take in that one. They must have been juicing like Canseco during that time. You get hit with a knife in Double D II and it takes what, one energy bar? Try getting hit with a knife in III. Plus the AI is relentless. Oh well, still as fun as joyriding in the Technodrome though.

@Ryno I agree.
DD3 is the hardest, then DD1 (mostly because of the final level) and then DD2. I'm not sure where SDD would fit in. I almost never beat it when I play it. I usually get to the cliff level or what I believe is the final level (with the elevator that goes all over the place).

If we get Super Double Dragon for the SNES on the virtual console, I'd like to get the Japanese version, as it is the more complete version of the game. It features difficulty levels and enhanced music.

while true, i doubt we would get that version

thanks to the wiivc, I've discovered that DD2 is the game that my father and I played together back when I was a wee tyke. I still have the cartridge for it!

incidentally, does anyone have any idea what console this was for?

A bootleg Famicom cartridge.
Cart shape stolen from later-era Jaleco games (1988-1992).

edit
KingMike beat me to it lol

Best game on the VC, hands down. Now we just need the arcade versions.

@DudeSean: I too would prefer Return over Super. Like ogo said, I doubt it . It is to bad they rushed Super Double Dragon. That game is great and could've been even better!

Now that Double Dragon II is finally on the Virtual Console, how about Double Dragon Advance? I think DD2 is the best in the series, but the GBA entry comes in a close second. Just imagine playing co-op on a big screen with a wider viewing angle. The potential!

If anything I would expect them to release that on the 3DS VC.
