It might not be as good as the game it follows in the footsteps of, but it's fun throwback to the days of 8-bit beat 'em ups. If you like DD, try it - it's worth at least the $6.99 they're asking for it.
In the original sou setsu ken was labeled an ansatsuken, or assassination martial art, and it was inspired by hokuto Shinken and Jeet Kune Do. Two arts that definitely consider killing an option.
To be honest, although it fun to see the original Kishimoto guy returned and made this game again but honestly, I seen better "remakes" by fans by using the Arcade graphic. This one feel a bit "Hipster" remake if you get my saying.
@MOBsta Imaging th-cam.com/video/EcEvg4Otpew/w-d-xo.html There used to be a site that you can download emulators, Roms and Homebrew game but that site was taken down 3 or 4 years ago after almost 20 years of existing in the Internet. I miss that site nowadays as you can find alot of homebrew games
@MOBsta Imaging For me DD Advance was the last and final DD swansong, I remember the DD Advance actually differentiate between Billy and Jimmy with the Nunchuks and Kali Sticks
@MOBsta Imaging you haven't heard of Double Dragon Advance for the Game Boy Advance? It came out in late 90's or early 2000, I played it in the GBA emulator, was pretty fun when two player. That game was basically a tribute to Fist of the North Star with cut scenes
true DD3 have more good animations on jimmy and billy they need to use them for what reason they use this from dd2 is super stupid i hate it they need to make it the models from dd3 will be more good
I was happy to pay $6.99 for this the day it came out. But what I really would have liked was a $20 Double Dragon game as awesome as River City Ransom Underground. That would make me play Double Dragon like I did in the 80's when I was a teenager all over again.
This reminds me of Metroid Other M all over again. "Those Westerners made a better game in the franchise than we could! We CANNOT let that stand!" then they proceed to release a sequel that is worse on all counts. Double Dragon 4 is like some mess a kid made with Corel Software's "The Games Factory" circa 1996!
You know, I just realized something, both this and Sonic 4 are alike! Reasons: They both sick :They are unnecessary reboots that could have been good. They have good music And they have the 4 at the end of the title. Any more reasons why?
in my honest opinion this is nothing more than a rom hack. I guess you get what you pay for. Would rather play Super Double Dragon again ! That will always be the real DD 4 to me.
Double Dragon V is not canon though, so you're wrong. Sequel numbers are hardly an indication that the games are connected at all. Final Fantasy VI, for example, was called Final Fantasy III way back, so yeah, those numbers doesn't means shit. With that being said, Super Double Dragon is NOT a sequel, and this game IS a canon sequel, be you like it, or not.
Hahaha, and YOU are the one to know it all, huh? Why don't you show me where it says that Super Double Dragon is the sequel of Double Dragon III? Oh wait... you wpn't... because you can't... Enjoy being in denial and wrong forever,
How did you get the Steam version to display on your screen properly? The sides are cut off and I can never see all of the dialogue. I'd rather have the screen in a small window than to have everything cut off on the sides.
It doesn't feel like a DD game. Feels like it was an experiment. The music and background feels generic. The story is cheesey. DD Neon was the last decent game in the series I believe and even that got low ratings for some reason.
For whatever reason IGN had a staffer that didn't like beat 'em ups (which is fine), but they had the bright idea of having this person do the review for DD Neon. And he rated it 3/10. A lot of people, including myself, were pissed about that. Even WayForward wasn't too happy, of course.
@@MusicInMe754 WayForward is one of my favorite developers but when it comes to beat'em ups, they seem to suffer from sluggish movement controls and odd enemy AI
Mission 8 kind of messed me up with the platform gears. Lost my lives there and I was done. It’s a neat little game but had so much potential to be better. Still mildly enjoyable I think
This looks so crap. It's almost as if it's purposely mocking the 8-bit versions. Fair enough, they were limited games in their scope even at the time, but what are they attempting to achieve here, pander to the nostalgia of a generation that never actually played Double Dragon in the 80's? What's the point, I don't get it.
nope our martial art is not meant to kill anyone, AS you punch kick and throw people off a cliff, hurl boulders and various huge objects at them and shattard limbs and vital spots. yep not meant to kill at all....... Who do they think they are the post acployic verison of Batman and Robin in the goldem era
I'm sorry Arc System Works, but I'd rather be playing Ultimate Double Dragon. You're barely doing justice to the whole franchise, but at the same time it's better than the two crappy 3D versions.
I found this retro style kinda pointless. Double dragon for NES was fun, but it was not an absolute classic that couldn't be any better like capcom's arcade fighting games did due to the hardware limitation of NES. It really just plays exactly like the NES game in a bad way, with very limited moves and small amount of enemies, which is bad and not fun but many people tolerated in NES times. They should have done some improvements in this game.
This the worst beat em up game ever, I love Double Dragon, but they ruined it. The music is the worst, the movement are slow, the cutscenes is awful, and some stages have traps are unacceptable like this one 41:40 and 28:49. ARC SYSTEM MADE THE WORST BEAT EM UP GAME!! WHILE THE OLD GAMES MADE BY TECHNOS ARE THE BEST BEAT EM UP GAME EVER!!! WHAT ARE THEY THINKING!!? They didn't know about Super Double Dragon, so they made this game by themselves. REALLY!!?
Double Dragon 2 has memorable music, in which the songs are annoying. The story is ridiculous. The game is very easy .... honestly. The game is awful. Want a good double dragon game? play the original 1987 arcade or snes super double dragon. PS: Sorry for my bad english.
Awful. Feels like a slander to a hard-earned, humble franchise, than a tribute. Bunch of lowkey amateurs that decided to call it Double Dragon 4..... Not even worth of the title. >:( Arc System Works, you fucked it up!
It might not be as good as the game it follows in the footsteps of, but it's fun throwback to the days of 8-bit beat 'em ups. If you like DD, try it - it's worth at least the $6.99 they're asking for it.
NintendoComplete Totally agree. I bought it, no regrets. I'm enjoying flying kneeing my way through the levels like the old days.
@@brandonbates6620 where can i buy it? Only 7.00?! CD or download?
Good Music At Least.♥️
When did Nintendo 8bit return?
Good one bro
Billy: "We don't use the art of Sosetsuken to kill."
Me: ...... :looks at all the beat up enemies and the ones the fallen to cliffs: "Right......" >_>
Santo Tan But what else were they supposed to do when the enemies were trying to kill THEM? LOL
Heck their were even fatalities in double dragon 5!
In the original sou setsu ken was labeled an ansatsuken, or assassination martial art, and it was inspired by hokuto Shinken and Jeet Kune Do. Two arts that definitely consider killing an option.
Billy’s like, “I didn’t kill them. The ground killed them when they fell from that height.”
@@hdofu The fuck? You serious?
Such a great game, bought it on multiple platforms, can't wait to see what next is in store for the brothers.
It absolutely could have been better. But for what it was, I really liked it. I liked it more when I unlocked the retro music.
To be honest, although it fun to see the original Kishimoto guy returned and made this game again but honestly, I seen better "remakes" by fans by using the Arcade graphic. This one feel a bit "Hipster" remake if you get my saying.
I wish they would do this with other NES games like Ninja Turtles and Battletoads.

@MOBsta Imaging Heh if you know how to do Emulators, try to get a Game Boy Advance emulator and Double Dragon Advance.
Thank you for this, it helps me in getting the names right (or somewhat) when naming the tracks for this game
So what about a sequel to that badass reboot they released 4 years ago ? :(
Should've had NES-styled music and different sprites for the DD brothers. Better yet, I would've loved to see a complete version of the REAL DD4.
It does have "NES-styled music", you can choose it in the options.
They shoudl've use the Double Dragon 3 sprites instead... and that Billy holding the baseball bat animation is just... UGH!
Kiryu Ga Gotoku you mean the crooked leg stance sprite? lol
True. And the pinky skin color don't fit well. Chewing-gum brawler!
true DD3 have more good animations on jimmy and billy they need to use them for what reason they use this from dd2 is super stupid i hate it they need to make it the models from dd3 will be more good
this game in my opinion is 8/10; thanks for this video!
Awesome video! I like it
22:19 why aree these enemies doing the Hitler salute?
Bimmy and Jimmy! Double Dragon Neon is very good.
I was happy to pay $6.99 for this the day it came out. But what I really would have liked was a $20 Double Dragon game as awesome as River City Ransom Underground. That would make me play Double Dragon like I did in the 80's when I was a teenager all over again.
Where can i buy this? Cd? Or doenload
Steam
1:49 Pbbbtt! Wow! I didn’t know that they can be so strong!
This reminds me of Metroid Other M all over again. "Those Westerners made a better game in the franchise than we could! We CANNOT let that stand!" then they proceed to release a sequel that is worse on all counts. Double Dragon 4 is like some mess a kid made with Corel Software's "The Games Factory" circa 1996!
😠Oh God.😞
I know what you mean.
So this is Double Dragon 3, and Drouble Dragon 3 is Double Dragon 4.
WTF?
Oswald Epic Loquendero Lol yeah, and apparently f*** Super Double Dragon, despite how awesome it was.
NintendoComplete So, Super Double Dragon really didn't append?
Oswald Epic Loquendero It seems like Arc didn't think so
The original Technos knew what Happend?
It wasn't that great. It was an unfinished uninspired beat 'em up at best.
I'm hoping for a Nintendo release. Who's the character being used in the Tower mode?
Michael Theodore The Shadow Master
Meanwhile (back in the 1980s) NES Marian takes a fist to the gut and is hauled off by the shadow warriors.
You know, I just realized something, both this and Sonic 4 are alike!
Reasons:
They both sick
:They are unnecessary reboots that could have been good.
They have good music
And they have the 4 at the end of the title.
Any more reasons why?
Double dragon 4 isnt even a real double dragon 4
Super double dragon was
I hope they fix the exploiting at the bottom of the screen.
I love this game's music!
ugh that ending.. not good
xGodofAcidx Ikr. It goes into a weird Saved by the Bell moral lesson thing. I wasn't expecting that.
It's all no good. Especially Hulk jokes from nowhere.
never seen this game before. it’s a blending of Double Dragon 1 and 2. In Double Dragon 3, after your life is finished, it’s game over.
I like d this retro graphic. But I prefer DD3 sprites^^
I played this game today and it was awesome however the buttons was a bit bad
new moves I see
Nice 👍
Comparing with DD2, amateurish everywhere, but as you mentioned, worth the money maybe.
BY THE POWER OF THE DRAGON!
Good one bro
When did the NES Release this? 🤔
Billy obviously learned from Dhalsim
download link! thanks!
Luís Márcio Dude, it's $7. Just buy the damn thing :0
U can download adv of link. Yes
Is this 4 sale on pc? Where can i buy it? Can i use the keyboard or must i buy a pc comptroller aka controller??
It's on Steam
Big guys get groggy only after 2 punches - baby mode.
Bimmy and Jimmy.
Well, at least it isn't Wander of the Dragons.
Wow this is real!
in my honest opinion this is nothing more than a rom hack. I guess you get what you pay for. Would rather play Super Double Dragon again ! That will always be the real DD 4 to me.
It was never intended to be a part 4 though, Super DD was supposed to be a new retake on the original DD.
I don't believe that because the following game was Double Dragon V : The shadow falls. You are wrong.
Double Dragon V is not canon though, so you're wrong. Sequel numbers are hardly an indication that the games are connected at all. Final Fantasy VI, for example, was called Final Fantasy III way back, so yeah, those numbers doesn't means shit. With that being said, Super Double Dragon is NOT a sequel, and this game IS a canon sequel, be you like it, or not.
you can't prove that in any way. Just another internet person who thinks they know it all. Cannon or not it's STILL CALLED DOUBLE DRAGON V FFS!!!!!
Hahaha, and YOU are the one to know it all, huh? Why don't you show me where it says that Super Double Dragon is the sequel of Double Dragon III? Oh wait... you wpn't... because you can't... Enjoy being in denial and wrong forever,
Good lord that ending is the height of cheese. Just awful.
... I just passed up an opportunity to get this for free, based on the accuracy of this 4-year-old comment. This is why MAME is a thing.
How did you get the Steam version to display on your screen properly? The sides are cut off and I can never see all of the dialogue. I'd rather have the screen in a small window than to have everything cut off on the sides.
+Red Maxx XIII It was fine for me on the first start -up without changing any options. I'm not sure, sorry :/

Who do they think they are the post acployic verison of Batman and Robin in the goldem era
the game is clunky and cheap at times but i don't mind the game. However i think its a hack rom at best
game play is great, corny ending kills this game big time -- no epic story like DD II's ending
Sometimes, games are made by people who have no business in making games.
Double dragon 4 feels like fan made game to be honest for starters they just reused some of the characters enemys
I think, it's not a bad game but... it's strange, it's weird, and that's much worse!!!
The game is very fun to play minus the always out of place platforming elements. The story is just cringe, though.
I'm sorry Arc System Works, but I'd rather be playing Ultimate Double Dragon.
You're barely doing justice to the whole franchise, but at the same time it's better than the two crappy 3D versions.
"You blocked all my moves. You are very good". Who wrote this script? That joker didn't throw one punch! Who trained that fool?
They had a strict deadline of 45 minutes to make this game.
This needed more Skullmaggedon and less slavish worship/masturbation to 8 bit.
No.
Dynaman21 And more Rebecca. Plus modern beat em up innovations.
Dynaman21 skullmagedon is a fucking travesty to the series. I wish this title was taken more seriously.
Why does the flying knee sound like a bird?
😂😂😂😂

This game is Double Fail, DD 1 & 2 >>>> all
41:03 so they took the terrible platforming from the nes double dragon ii and made it worse looks like
Good concept, but seems like an unfinished demo of something that could be leagues better. DD Neon was better than this if that makes any sense.
Break dance practice, TH-cam
wtf?? I wANT !!

Arc System Works, you fucked it up!
Why is this so fking BAD??? I'll stick to Double Dragon Remix
This was god awful!
Stupidest ending ever
Bad hand design😂😂😂
