This is one of the best of the series. The fighting and music are the best. If it wasn’t rushed I could only imagine how much more this game could have been.
It was revolutionary at the time. Beat em ups have come along way since the release and they are simply much better. I mean the release was a rush job, not much more to say about it.
@@koteynikoi-kotei9301 Very few have those mechanics,which is really odd seeing how many other scrolling beat em ups there have been since.The only problem I have is Super DD is a bit dull.
Super Double Dragon did not allow you to play 2 players at the same time, they also had very short levels. These 2 things unalived Super Double Dragon, they messed up
The game was ahead of it's time in terms of gameplay. Those animations were so clean. The best the music has ever been as well. And that cover art is godlike. It's what grabbed my attention to it. It was my favorite title until I played Return of Double Dragon. I have a feeling the fan made game Ultimate Double Dragon will be my favorite once I play it.
Super Double Dragon is not a bad game it's a really great game and i don't care if anyone agrees with me or not. It's a great game and if people would stop comparing it with Return from Japan and realize that Super Double Dragon is the North American release and not the japanese release.
I purchased this game at a thrift store for $10 about 8 years ago. I really wasn't expecting much; I was surprised as to how good this game actually was. Perhaps the best $10 dollar SNES game I have ever purchased.
I got my SNES for Christmas of 1992, along with Super Double Dragon. It was actually the first game my brother and I played on it once it was set up, so I have strong nostalgia for it. It's also rye first SNES game I beat as well. Managed to get through it towards the end of my Christmas break.
I can agree Super Double Dragon was missing cutscenes and a detailed ending. You can actually download a fan made version of this game and a team worked hard to revamp this game and gave us a true Double Dragon experience. You can download it for free and experience it for yourself. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
I'm in the SDD being the best in the series camp. I prefer it over to Gaiden even. it did more to the genre by adding the block/counter button. it made combat interesting and more dynamic beyond the traditional 🤜🤜kick with occasional grab. variety was key, and no other game has done it since.😢
That’s something I like about it. Made it feel like a prolonged fight sequence from a Jackie Chan movie and less like easily killable fodder like in TMNT.
I think my buddy and I came around on this game back then because with all the locally owned video stores, you can only rent the same stuff so many times before you want to try something else and neither of us had thought about this series since the second one so it was us looking for something to rent for a sleepover and we were like okay whatever, let's get Super Double Dragon. We were surprised it was as good as it was and rented it several more times afterward.
I loved this game when it came out. Adding the block and hold was genius, the power up mechanic was brilliant as well. Personally its my favourite double dragon. I recently got it for my switch
The slow down in this game was seen as hindering reason why it sold so-so but If I could not get rid of that slow down but, I'd have featured it as a "revolutionary" feature that gives you slow down to think and strategize your next move.
Super Double Dragon actually had a lot of depth in its mechanics. You could parry and catch punches, block, power up your meter and do new moves when it was 50% and go into a kind of overdrive state when you were at max. I think the game was great and honestly did a lot of cool stuff with the series. Best beat em up on SNES is still probably Final Fight, but I'd give Super Double Dragon a top 3 spot.
Interesting thing is DD definitely set the blueprint for the beat em up, and then within 1-2 years, was completely outclassed by better games, despite releasing sequels. It's not that all the sequels were bad, just the genre grew by leaps and bounds every year in the late 80s early 90s, DD never caught back up.
Super Double Dragon is my favorite game throughout the series. I love the sprites, music and the voice that Billy and Jimmy made when they finish off an enemy. Although the gameplay was slow i still like it as it was unique. Wished we got a sequel to improve on it. The fan made Ultimate Super Double Dragon is so sick
My gad. Thank you for clearing up why this game was so confusing for my then 14 year old brain. I didn't think it was possibly a thing for a game to be released unfinished. No boss music, no ending. Who TF were those tougher guys??? It all makes sense now. Man with more time...the game we could have had. But I still love it. 💆
Super Double Dragon was an absolutely amazing entry. As much as I love the first 3 games, Super Double Dragin is my favorite entry in the series. The combat and music were amazing, and the stages looked good, too. Being able to block attacks and counter was such an amazing concept at the time in the beat em up genre. Plus, we got that amazing Paragon9x-Super Double Dragon No.5 (Snapdragon) OC Remix.
It’s one of the best SNES games and my favorite Double Dragon. The music, level design, sprite work, controls and the almighty BLOCK/GRAB button make it top notch.
My late father got me this when I was a kid growing up in the early 90's. I must have been 5 years old, still have the SNES cartridge. It is such an incredible fighting game. Great variety of enemies bosses and mini bosses. Playing games like Final Fight and this, and Streets of Rage, it was amazing! just saw a re release of Super Double Dragon on STEAM recently!
Super Double Dragon was the first video game that successfully gave me a feeling of living a power fantasy. Catching fists, countering, throwing, rapid fire kicks and punches, making enemies go flying, and doing hurricane kicks made me feel like a real supreme martial artist.
As a massive Double Dragon fan since I was a kid and 2 had just come out it is indeed a great time for fans. Double Dragon Gaiden is a wonderful "greatest hits" overview of a lot of the earlier titles.
Super Double Dragon was an amazing game, I played as much of SDD at my childhood neighbors place as much as my neighbor played Streets of Rage 2/3 at my place as kids.
I remember getting this for Christmas, and being the annoying son like "Hey Mom... look what I could do!" That block and counter needed to be witnessed lol.
Super Double Dragon: The Return of Double Dragon was the BEST DD game of all time. Dedicated punch, kick, jump, AND block buttons. The block could be timed to parry and catch for counters. There were independent charge moves and a special rage feature. To this day, there has not been a side scrolling beat em up game with as deep of a combat system. This came out OVER 30 YEARS AGO! The only thing missing was a dash/run feature. Other than that, it's amazing.
Flawed Masterpiece, some of my favorite memories growing up with my brother was spending hours on this game. May not be the most challenging but still so much fun to play.
The Switch/PS4 version lets you increase the speed. I highly suggest trying the game at 1.1 speed. I think it makes it very similar to DD2 on the NES, and one of the best beatem ups ever.
So basically to summarize: there was a rushed out U.S. version for the holiday deadline, a Japanese version made 2 weeks later, a revised version made in 2018, and a port of it to PS4 and Switch in 2023 with a turbo option, but the issue of no intro or ending and no story cutscenes and Miriam not being more prevalent was never resolved. Which gives the Turbo CD Double Dragon II the extra advantage since that game actually had cutscenes... Really seems now like this upcoming Double Dragon game is a spiritual successor to this game. Hopefully its good and the story isnt lacking.
When my family got a SNES, we got this game and street fighter. The only bad part I found about double dragon was all the slow downs. Which is really why I've never loked back to play it .
the japanese version of super double dragon is called return of dougle dragon and has a longer last level and some differences in physics and techniques. Super and return of double dragon are my favorite double drangon I hope it returns as these games.
Super Double Dragon just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite beat em ups. Sure it had flaws but had Technos given the team more time they could've done so much more. However, what we got is still a fantastic game and deserves more credit than what it gets. I proudly own my copy and i proudly play the port on Switch via the collection AND physically i might add! To hell with digital!
I am a big double dragon fan. I had this game as a kid and played the others. I actually bought it as an adult bc of my memories playing the game. It actually holds up well and is a fun game. Still have it today and love playing it sometimes. Double dragon should definitely be in smash
Fun with 2 players and it has surprisingly good precision and many moves. Only thing that frustrated me was the slowdowns that affected the inputs. This was in street fighter as well but it never ruined your timing or inputs like in this game
The last boss went down too easy. Once I knocked him down and positioned myself to be right behind him when he got up, that was a wrap. Was shocked he was the last guy.
The only thing that bothers me about this game is the fact that when you're punching there's zero buffer for the input and because of that you have to either be very fast pressing the punch button or you have to master the rhythm because if you don't, then your punch sequence will be very delayed in between attacks allowing enemies to do their thing.
Respectfully: may your pizza be delivered cold and your beer be skunky! Super double dragon was phenomenal! I still own my copy! I loved it! It felt almost like a 90s action movie with the grapple moves and varying characters. I wished they would make a new one but with customizable looks and movesets.
Can't believe I've never played this version. Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons's mechanics are by far the most recent superior. Double Dragon Revive feels like a street fighter 6 world tour clone. Will have to judge how that comes out. Very hopeful to see how the brothers play in the new DLC coming out in River City Girls 2. As a child I had a soft spot for double dragon iii: the sacred stones.
I prefer the variety offered by the combat system in Super Double Dragon to more simplistic systems in other brawlers of the time. I wish the team had gotten a few more months to implement everything they had planned
i remember getting this game and thinking it was pretty cool, a little slow for a beat em up but was fun to play. The ending or lack thereof really soured me on it.
Super DD was great. DD3 was my other favorite. This WAS at a time when most games weren't on CD and DVD. For all we know there were technical reasons and deadlines.
I have no idea how this could be considered a "failure." You could mix your punches and kicks together how you wanted for variety, you could catch attacks and counter them, even against some bosses, the weapons were fun, and the music was awesome. The only thing I didn't like is how slowly you moved around. It felt a bit sluggish, but the action was still fantastic.
Super is the greatest game in the series, and it's not even close. The massive moves list, superior graphics and play control, excellent soundtrack... none of the other games compare.
Super Double Dragon is very good. I enjoyed my last play of it....got destroyed after going outside after being inside in level 2 or 3 and that onslaught of enemies gave it to me pretty good...but I really enjoyed it...I hope to beat it one day.
I have NEVER understood why this game reviewed badly or was thought of as a disappointment. When I played this as a kid I loved it SO MUCH and it’s still an awesome game today. I don’t think there is a better scrolling beat em up.
Super Double Dragon is definitely the game I rented the most back in the day, but never cared to buy. It was great to play every now and then but not great enough to own it, because it always felt to me like a NES game with makeup on. 🤷🏽♂️
I remember being blown away by the defensive aspects of this game. I thought "this is the future!" 30 years later, no one has bothered to add a block/counter mechanic since. So disappointing. I never could have imagined that it would be the only beat 'em up to be so innovative. Super Double Dragon was ahead of it's time and, in my eyes, an all-time classic. The music is outstanding as well. I'd take Super DD over the crap new DD game any day.
My favorite Double Dragon Games... Rage of the Dragons Super/Return of Double Dragon Double Dragon Gaiden:Rise of the Draggons Double Dragon II: The Revenge Double Dragon
I hated neon when it launched because I wasn’t playing right. As soon as I mastered the duck I loved it. I didnt play super DD back in the snes days but I have it on the switch. I’ll have to check it out

Hey top hat, I heard that. You can't just sneak that name in there like that!😂
I love this game, just beat it a couple of months ago. The only complaint I have is the slowdown.
How about no?
Make video about Double Dragon Advance and PC Engine port version of Double Dragon 2.
This is my favorite game in the series. Fighting and music was awesome!!!
It’s the best in the series for sure. Just a little slow.
Super Double Dragon was FIRE. The music was awesome.
You could tell they were trying to
Keep you occupied.
Until the next double dragon was finished.

Super double dragon is literally the best one they ever made🤨💯👍🏾
I prefer the GBA's *Double Dragon Advance*
Not even close.
@@adamkane7513Hard agree. It's my favorite in the entire series.
Hands down the best.
I'm amazed nobody modded this game yet.

Urban Reign has done it.
SDD was awesome and the team up atks rock, fight me!
The only complaint I had with the game is it took forever to take down even normal enemies
I agree. I think they did that to stretch out the length of the game.
That’s something I like about it. Made it feel like a prolonged fight sequence from a Jackie Chan movie and less like easily killable fodder like in TMNT.
I think my buddy and I came around on this game back then because with all the locally owned video stores, you can only rent the same stuff so many times before you want to try something else and neither of us had thought about this series since the second one so it was us looking for something to rent for a sleepover and we were like okay whatever, let's get Super Double Dragon.

Slow pacing is not a slow down. Slow down occurs in games when there is a frame drop. So it is a different thing. The game still plays great.
Super Double Dragon has no ending...
Final fight just looked so much better at this point
This is my favorite Double Dragon game. The block and counter system made the combat fun and not stale.
Super Double Dragon actually had a lot of depth in its mechanics.

It's not that all the sequels were bad, just the genre grew by leaps and bounds every year in the late 80s early 90s, DD never caught back up.
100% correct! 👍
Double Dragon, Final Fight, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons
This is a solid game, I didn't even have an snes, but my cousin did(Genesis here) and I always enjoyed playing this when I was at his house
You had *SOR2?*
@@adamkane7513 ya , still play those games on the Sega collection, I was so happy with how good sor4 turned out
Super Double Dragon is my favorite game throughout the series. I love the sprites, music and the voice that Billy and Jimmy made when they finish off an enemy. Although the gameplay was slow i still like it as it was unique. Wished we got a sequel to improve on it. The fan made Ultimate Super Double Dragon is so sick
My gad. Thank you for clearing up why this game was so confusing for my then 14 year old brain. I didn't think it was possibly a thing for a game to be released unfinished. No boss music, no ending. Who TF were those tougher guys??? It all makes sense now. Man with more time...the game we could have had. But I still love it. 💆
I absolutely LOVED Super Double Dragon as a kid. Played it so many times I remembered the whole game.
Super Double Dragon was an absolutely amazing entry. As much as I love the first 3 games, Super Double Dragin is my favorite entry in the series. The combat and music were amazing, and the stages looked good, too. Being able to block attacks and counter was such an amazing concept at the time in the beat em up genre. Plus, we got that amazing Paragon9x-Super Double Dragon No.5 (Snapdragon) OC Remix.
It’s one of the best SNES games and my favorite Double Dragon. The music, level design, sprite work, controls and the almighty BLOCK/GRAB button make it top notch.
My late father got me this when I was a kid growing up in the early 90's. I must have been 5 years old, still have the SNES cartridge. It is such an incredible fighting game. Great variety of enemies bosses and mini bosses. Playing games like Final Fight and this, and Streets of Rage, it was amazing! just saw a re release of Super Double Dragon on STEAM recently!
Super Double Dragon was the first video game that successfully gave me a feeling of living a power fantasy. Catching fists, countering, throwing, rapid fire kicks and punches, making enemies go flying, and doing hurricane kicks made me feel like a real supreme martial artist.
I absolutely loved this game. The music tracks were awesome, the gameplay was engaging. Played this multiple times in my days of SNES gaming.
As a massive Double Dragon fan since I was a kid and 2 had just come out it is indeed a great time for fans. Double Dragon Gaiden is a wonderful "greatest hits" overview of a lot of the earlier titles.
Super Double Dragon was an amazing game, I played as much of SDD at my childhood neighbors place as much as my neighbor played Streets of Rage 2/3 at my place as kids.
I remember getting this for Christmas, and being the annoying son like "Hey Mom... look what I could do!" That block and counter needed to be witnessed lol.
Super Double Dragon: The Return of Double Dragon was the BEST DD game of all time. Dedicated punch, kick, jump, AND block buttons. The block could be timed to parry and catch for counters. There were independent charge moves and a special rage feature. To this day, there has not been a side scrolling beat em up game with as deep of a combat system. This came out OVER 30 YEARS AGO! The only thing missing was a dash/run feature. Other than that, it's amazing.
The block & parry system made it the best game in the series.
Super double dragon was a fun game to play the memories of playing that as a kid back in the 90s
Mic audio is blown out peaking a bit.
Flawed Masterpiece, some of my favorite memories growing up with my brother was spending hours on this game. May not be the most challenging but still so much fun to play.
I fired up my modded OG Xbox a month ago for the first time in years, just to play this game. It's still awesome to this day.
Sega's Golden Axe?? I think you meant Street's of Rage?
The Switch/PS4 version lets you increase the speed. I highly suggest trying the game at 1.1 speed. I think it makes it very similar to DD2 on the NES, and one of the best beatem ups ever.
So basically to summarize: there was a rushed out U.S. version for the holiday deadline, a Japanese version made 2 weeks later, a revised version made in 2018, and a port of it to PS4 and Switch in 2023 with a turbo option, but the issue of no intro or ending and no story cutscenes and Miriam not being more prevalent was never resolved.
Which gives the Turbo CD Double Dragon II the extra advantage since that game actually had cutscenes...
Really seems now like this upcoming Double Dragon game is a spiritual successor to this game. Hopefully its good and the story isnt lacking.
When my family got a SNES, we got this game and street fighter. The only bad part I found about double dragon was all the slow downs. Which is really why I've never loked back to play it .
the japanese version of super double dragon is called return of dougle dragon and has a longer last level and some differences in physics and techniques. Super and return of double dragon are my favorite double drangon I hope it returns as these games.
I had this one and really liked the combat gameplay, the graphics were music, but the nonexistent storyline really hurts it
Super Double Dragon just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite beat em ups. Sure it had flaws but had Technos given the team more time they could've done so much more. However, what we got is still a fantastic game and deserves more credit than what it gets. I proudly own my copy and i proudly play the port on Switch via the collection AND physically i might add! To hell with digital!
I am a big double dragon fan. I had this game as a kid and played the others. I actually bought it as an adult bc of my memories playing the game. It actually holds up well and is a fun game. Still have it today and love playing it sometimes. Double dragon should definitely be in smash
Fun with 2 players and it has surprisingly good precision and many moves. Only thing that frustrated me was the slowdowns that affected the inputs. This was in street fighter as well but it never ruined your timing or inputs like in this game
Super double dragon was one of my favorite games on the super NES
I owned the original on the SNES and loved it. I bought this for the PS4 and I still enjoy the heck out of it.
The last boss went down too easy. Once I knocked him down and positioned myself to be right behind him when he got up, that was a wrap. Was shocked he was the last guy.
Super double dragon is awesome. It was the first beat em up to have that amazing block counter. Very good.
The only thing that bothers me about this game is the fact that when you're punching there's zero buffer for the input and because of that you have to either be very fast pressing the punch button or you have to master the rhythm because if you don't, then your punch sequence will be very delayed in between attacks allowing enemies to do their thing.
BIMMY AND JIMMY 4 LIFE!!! 🤜💪💪🤛
Super Double Dragon was one of my favourite games on the snes. My favourite double dragon.
Respectfully: may your pizza be delivered cold and your beer be skunky! Super double dragon was phenomenal! I still own my copy!
I loved it! It felt almost like a 90s action movie with the grapple moves and varying characters. I wished they would make a new one but with customizable looks and movesets.
It was inspired by films with Van Damme.
I've always loved this version of DD. Never knew it received/receives so much hate.
Can't believe I've never played this version. Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons's mechanics are by far the most recent superior. Double Dragon Revive feels like a street fighter 6 world tour clone. Will have to judge how that comes out. Very hopeful to see how the brothers play in the new DLC coming out in River City Girls 2. As a child I had a soft spot for double dragon iii: the sacred stones.
I prefer the variety offered by the combat system in Super Double Dragon to more simplistic systems in other brawlers of the time. I wish the team had gotten a few more months to implement everything they had planned
i remember getting this game and thinking it was pretty cool, a little slow for a beat em up but was fun to play. The ending or lack thereof really soured me on it.
This one is 7 out of 10.
Still listening to the game music today. Great workout music
Super DD was great. DD3 was my other favorite. This WAS at a time when most games weren't on CD and DVD. For all we know there were technical reasons and deadlines.
I have no idea how this could be considered a "failure." You could mix your punches and kicks together how you wanted for variety, you could catch attacks and counter them, even against some bosses, the weapons were fun, and the music was awesome. The only thing I didn't like is how slowly you moved around. It felt a bit sluggish, but the action was still fantastic.
How was this a failure?! This game was super popular in my hood. We all loved it.
I liked this game and even beat it back in the day. Its no Final Fight, but its good enough to be enjoyable. Particularly in the early levels.
Super is the greatest game in the series, and it's not even close. The massive moves list, superior graphics and play control, excellent soundtrack... none of the other games compare.
I really enjoyed this game. I just wish it was completed. Those extras would have made the game legendary.
The combat system is awesome!
Return of the Double Dragon is more polished.
Punch, kick, uppercut.
The best Double Dragon series i've played is the Nes and SNES version.
Super Double Dragon is very good. I enjoyed my last play of it....got destroyed after going outside after being inside in level 2 or 3 and that onslaught of enemies gave it to me pretty good...but I really enjoyed it...I hope to beat it one day.
I have NEVER understood why this game reviewed badly or was thought of as a disappointment. When I played this as a kid I loved it SO MUCH and it’s still an awesome game today. I don’t think there is a better scrolling beat em up.
Super Double Dragon is definitely the game I rented the most back in the day, but never cared to buy. It was great to play every now and then but not great enough to own it, because it always felt to me like a NES game with makeup on. 🤷🏽♂️
This is the best in the series in terms of gameplay.
I remember being blown away by the defensive aspects of this game. I thought "this is the future!" 30 years later, no one has bothered to add a block/counter mechanic since. So disappointing. I never could have imagined that it would be the only beat 'em up to be so innovative. Super Double Dragon was ahead of it's time and, in my eyes, an all-time classic. The music is outstanding as well. I'd take Super DD over the crap new DD game any day.
Did you play Urban Reign?
I enjoy super double dragon. I still play it from time to time.
The Lee brothers just been busy this year.
Now revive is coming.
Super Double Dragon is a classic!!! It stands next to TMNT: Turtles In Time with no problem!!!!
Double Dragon 3 on Arcade was the first game ever with paid DLC
My favorite Double Dragon Games...
Rage of the Dragons
Super/Return of Double Dragon
Double Dragon Gaiden:Rise of the Draggons
Double Dragon II: The Revenge
Double Dragon
Rage of the Dragons is not a DD game.
The techniques and the music were awesome.
this game was trash, the frame rate was horrible
This game was 80 buck when it was released. Mowed 8 yards and bought it at kaybee toy store.
SDD is the best in the series.
Art style is top notch.
Music is masterful.
It’s so enjoyable but the characters move just a little slow.
I think double dragon is when my hatred of Uhg boots began.
It missed an ending. Billy & Jimmy's best game
One of the problems with this game is it was crazy expensive like $70 when it came out.
Hated DD3 on the NES but as an adult and how to play it, its actually fun.
It’s a great game , only missing is the cinematic story for me it was the last good DD
I hated neon when it launched because I wasn’t playing right. As soon as I mastered the duck I loved it. I didnt play super DD back in the snes days but I have it on the switch. I’ll have to check it out
