My whole life I have loved and been obsessed with this game. As a kid I used to spend hours comparing the conversions of the arcade to pc and home consoles mostly from magazines. I am grateful for the mame team so I can relive all these child hood arcade memories each day. The xbox versionn looks pretty good I notice a few changes in the posters. The sega genesis is a great system, I don't like how they did the posters and that yamaha sound chip drives me crazy sometimes with that synthisized sound. Great video!
You bringing up the PC version reminded me of buying that version. It was $5 at Walmart. "What a bargain!" I thought to myself. Then I got it home and played it. 😑
When you see that Ballistic logo show up, you know you're in for a bad time. The Genesis could have easily done a good job with DD, had a competent studio ported it.
For those unfamiliar, Ballistic was Accolade's Genesis game development arm. They were a turd factory. The only good names with their label on them were ones they did not develop themselves, like Zero Tolerance(A *very* good FPS for the system!)
The original beat em up. Ive loved double dragon since i was a kid in the 80's. And I still play double dragon to this day. Giaden is actually really good 🐉🐉
Then what happens if or when your Xbox 360 console dies or plays up you can't play Double Dragon at all? Are you going to upgrade then play Double Dragon on PS4/PS5 / Nintendo Switch / Xbox One/Series X/S?
The people who ported this did a terrible job honestly the Mega Drive / Genesis deserved so much better than this I don’t know who had let this pass especially the enemy Ai is bad keeps following your every movement apart from that the game looks great
I just 1CC'd this game at my local arcade bar. All you have to do is elbow everyone. I only died on the last level because of the bricks that pop out of the wall and the statues that spear you. Other than that, the game is very easy.
For me the Megadrive port of double dragon is the best conversion of the arcade, in the 16 bits era, very similar and not Slow Down like the original game. I had the Nes versión. Un saludo desde España
Double Dragon 2600 vs 7800 would be an interesting one, because the 2600 was creaking hardware being stretched to its absolute limit by the late 1980s, while the 7800 should have been able to handle the game.
Se teu console tiver desbloqueio, Jtag, na Net vc pode baixar um pack via torrent que tem TODOS os jogos Xbox Arcade , neste pack tem o Double Dragon, Double Dragon II e outros, uns 600 jogos. Por volta de uns 250Gb de tamanho.
I remember this cart on my Genesis. It was not licensed by Sega so if i plugged it in my Genesis it refused to boot unless i disconnected my Sega CD. I dont know if it was a bug or if it was some kind of lockout but it was strange.
Esse port do Mega Drive não me engano tem uma hack, não sei que é do Pyron ou Mastr Linkuen que arruma essa saturação na cor, não to lembrado aqui, ou posso esta ficando loko. Esse port do Mega ele tem algo que não me agrada, esse baixo ele esta muito mal sintetizado na primeira fase, muito estridente demais.
9:24 O que eles fizeram nesse port do 360? Eles tacaram um filtro nos sprites e foi isso. Nem pra arrumar a lentidão que rola numas fases... Mesmo com gráficos "inferiores" eu prefiro a versão do Mega aqui. Repara nas árvores - no mega elas possuem contorno. Nesse remake eles deixaram um quadrado preto no fundo e é isso mesmo. Foi muita preguiça.
Arcades are generally better. But I played the hell out of my copy on Genesis, and loved every minute of it!!! However I turn the sound down. Terrible music!!😂
i did enjoyed listening to the music in DD MD it made up for awful, dreadful, horrible sound FX effects when elbowing, kicking, punching enemy characters
The arcade ran on a Motorola MC6809 @ 6.0 MHz the Genesis is a Motorola 68000 @ 7.6 MHz ... the Genesis port should have been closer to the Arcade than it is. It has all the finger prints of a port done entirely without any assets from the original game. Everything is changed, not better, just redrawn sometimes it looks alright, sometimes terrible. Fair effort on the Genesis but still bad.
@@geminielectro The usual reason why many arcade ports lost that much graphic detail while closer ports could have been achieved : the cartridge size/price when the game was developed.
crei que en esa epoca nunca habian sacado double dragon para el sega, hasta que muchas generaciones luego lo descubri en un emulador, no solo eso, tambien descubri que habian sacado la segunda parte. en su epoca, solo probe el 3 en la genesis, pero nunca supe que los anteriores existian, me hubieran hecho mi adolescencia por lejos. I thought that at that time they had never released Double Dragon for the Sega, until many generations later I discovered it in an emulator, not only that, I also discovered that they had released the second part. At the time, I only tried 3 in the genesis, but I never knew that the previous ones existed, they would have made my adolescence by far.
I'm sorry but that Mega Drive version always felt broken to me. Almost like the buttons (punches) doesn't always register. Hope the 360 version was better.
A versão do mega só faltou o som, que ficou HORRIVEL, o som dos efeitos, pancadas, gritos... porque as musicas e a gameplay ficaram ótimas e os gráficos bem fieis ao arcade. Nunca joguei essa versão do X360.
To everybody who is complaining about the Genesis version keep in mind it was an unlicensed game as well. This came out before Accolade lost their lawsuit and were forced to become a licensed developer. Not only is the game buggy but it wont even play with the Sega CD connected. Plug in the cart with it connected and you get nothing. Disconnect the Sega CD and it works immediately. It is just a mess.
Terrible audio on the Mega Drive version. Music quality went downhill, and there are no voices. Hit sounds lack the punch of the arcade version... you get "ffft" instead of "smack". It does play alright, and I'd take it over the Japanese port of DD2. While I expected worse from Ballistic, at least they didn't totally botch it. It does play like Double Dragon, except the enemies are more aggressive and game speed is faster. Xbox 360's HD remade graphics are actually pretty nice, with arcade perfect sound.
A versão do Mega é horrível! Que som horroroso, chega a dar agonia de ouvir! E a do II também é igualmente tenebrosa, já que foi feita pela mesma desenvolvedora. Desculpa Marota, mas essa eu não tenho como dar like.
O "like" é pelo trabalho e esforço dela, não pelo jogo. Mas concordo sobre o que disse a respeito do Mega Drive, e vou além: Double Dragon em si tem uma jogabilidade péssima, independente da plataforma.
@@darksoulsong não necessariamente, pois senão não haveria o botão de deslike, já que todos os vídeos bem produzidos dão trabalho. Eu não curti (mas também não dei dislike) porque o áudio desse jogo é estridente e irritante, mal aguentei o tempo que fiquei pra postar meu comentário. Além disso, o - péssimo - som esse jogo do Mega é tão alto, que ofuscou a versão do X360, o que tornou a experiência ainda pior. Uma devida equalização seria necessária nesse caso. Este não é o primeiro vídeo dela nesta situação porém, neste caso, não tenho como defender. Não é uma crítica destrutiva e eu acredito que ela entenda isto.
O único Double Dragon que consegui gostar foi daquele de Lula, que foi um game maravilhoso, já esses jogos clássicos de beat 'em up eu nunca consegui gostar, pois acho as jogabilidades lixosas demais inclusive pra época. Mas talvez eu jogue aquela versão que tem pra Ps3/X360, pois aquela sim parece um bom jogo de verdade mesmo! Quanto a comparação eu fico com a do X360. Mais pelos gráficos tb, pq de resto do jogo é tudo caca hahahahaha
The MD version is a terrible port of a terrible game. There's no reasonable way to kill the enemies and advance without using the elbow trick, even the solo ones. I never really understood the cult behind this game, seriously.
Es muy básico jugar solo con codazos, el juego se hace emocionante cuando usas patadas , puños y todas las demás técnicas de pelea que tienen los jugadores ...😂😂

Star Control is good but that's about it.
i'm not super familiar with this dev, but you have to consider that this game was ported super early in the Genesis' life cycle.
@@anthonywise1989 This is a supremely crappy dev though.
@@anthonywise1989 not just early but SUPER early.
Nothing about the early release excuses crowds of sped up enemies blindly following your every movement in perfect sync.
Incrível como os donos de Mega Drive conseguiram se divertir em bom nível até mesmo várias gerações de consoles posteriores a sua.
What I love about the Mega Drive is that the games were so colorful. Vibrant colors are what's almost completely missing in the 2020s.
Yet, back then, the Mega Drive was bashed for its lack of colors. How ironic!
Oh man, it's a lot better now than it was during the 7th generation of console game development. Everything was so grey and brown, it was horrible.
For those unfamiliar, Ballistic was Accolade's Genesis game development arm. They were a turd factory. The only good names with their label on them were ones they did not develop themselves, like Zero Tolerance(A *very* good FPS for the system!)
I didn't realize they remade Double Dragon for the 360.
I see the overpowered Elbow is still there.
Yes using the elbow was always key
@@alexojideagu How do you do that??
@@marcludwick512 press jump and punch together
@@AlexOjideagu2 Ok, thanks!

Man, It's a good thing I got this game on my 360 before it was removed from the Marketplace
That's what annoyed the hell out of me. Stuff was getting delisted left and right.
Then what happens if or when your Xbox 360 console dies or plays up you can't play Double Dragon at all?
Are you going to upgrade then play Double Dragon on PS4/PS5 / Nintendo Switch / Xbox One/Series X/S?

The MegaDrive version was wacked, way to hard because the A.I. mimics your every move…

The way the enemies follow you on the Genesis up and down is funny to me . 😂
Like ur sense oh humor
this seems pretty faithful to the original, for an early Megadrive game.... not bad.
Uma sugestão: na foto do Mega use a sua versão mais bonita q é o Mega japonês escrito "16 bit" juntamente com seu controle de 6 botões.
Boa!! A versão original do Mega realmente é a mais bonita!!
did they redo the Mega Drive version or the Arcade version? And if it's the later, then why not compare it to the Arcade version?
Queria muito que esse Double Dragon do Xbox tivesse disponível. ☹️

Xbox é uma perfeita conversão do arcade, sem os lags. É bão demais!!!

sem dúvidas que o visual do Xbox é melhor, mas o Mega Drive já deu a opção de jogar arcades fieis em casa desde 1989...

This Xbox 360 arcade port looks interesting. Did they fix the slowdown?
Great video, I still have this on my Xbox 360 . I managed to buy it before it was delisted.

It's a question of rom size. The arcade version is twice bigger than the Genesis port.

The NES, being 8 bit, had the best Double Dragon version. And DD 2 on NES is a jewel.

Por ser de 16bits e o ano que foi lançado, Mega Drive...
Que legal 😊
este clásico lo alcancé a rescatar en mi otro perfil lastima que me lo hackearon y me quedé sin perfil y este juego 🥺
Xbox is acade same right?
Esse port do Mega Drive ficou bem ruim, com exceção da velocidade que é maior que o Arcade!

The Sega Genesis Double Dragon played too fast. Otherwise, it was an excellent port.

Have you played it?

cheesy game
*GENESIS SUCKS*
But they tried
Oh, I can assure you, the developer in question did not try that hard.
@@SomeOrangeCat - WHY have the color and graphics on point = when everything else sucks ??
the developer of the MD port (version) wanted to cut costs or save time due to incompetence or laziness by using a 4 or 5 megabit cartridge
i believe the developer wanted to cut costs or save time due to incompetence or laziness by using a 4 or 5 megabit cartridge
