Double Dragon 2 "Wander Of The Dragons" XBLA remake

what fuckin’ bejezus is this game it ma&*2kes my real1ty ads;lkh{{PI(YH"@LJB" L:IGHS

Yyyyyeahh…I saw this game like at least a week and a half ago and watched this long ass vid with game play. The first thing that came to mind was ‘hmmm…this is like that TMNT: Turtles in Time Remake all over again’.

No Tiger Knee that sends people flying like 10 feet, no sale.

I would disagree about making it a straight port. As much as I like that game, it’s very incomplete. Even the Japanese version [which will be referred to as Return Of Double Dragon] which was based on a later build of the American version is still very incomplete as that game was rushed for release.

Here are some examples courtesy of TV tropes

" The second half of Mission 7, absent from the US version, is very unfinished (e.g. Bottomless Pits you can’t fall into, stairs you have to jump up). Other things Dummied Out of both versions include the proposed true Final Boss battle with Duke’s shadow, the Conveyor Belt O Doom in the airport baggage claim that would lead to a Bottomless Pit, the warehouse section of Mission 5, and the collapsing bridge at the end of Mission 6. Many music tracks were left unused (a few which can still be heard in the Japanese version’s sound test) and Marian, who is mentioned in the manual and shown in two pieces of artwork, never actually appears in the game (she would’ve been a policewoman like her comic and cartoon counterparts). "

Aside from that, Super Double Dragon had no adjustable difficulty settings compared to Return Of Double Dragon which had three difficulty settings. Easy, Normal, and Hard respectively. Super Double Dragon is harder than Return Of Double Dragon on the Hard difficulty setting. The SNES version is also missing some of the extra moves in the Super Famicom version such as the ability to switch your weapons or catch your boomerangs, while your Helicopter Kick only strikes the enemy once as opposed to the multiple hits on the SFC version. Moreover, dynamites and knives are more lethal in the SNES version, and the enemy placement is different, with more recycled boss characters than in the Super Famicom version. However, the SFC version adds two extra areas to the final stage, making it a bit longer.

Watching that trailer makes me cry. Double Dragon II is one of my favorite beat-em-ups ever. Shit, I still have the NES cart laying around my house somewhere. Seeing such a great game get turned into…that makes me sad. It’s so bland and generic. Back to Double Dragon Advance for me

Having seen this about a week or 2 ago, I’ve already come to terms with how bad this looks. I’m assuming there will be some kind of Yakuza related retaliation for this kind for this kind of transgression.

Damn didn’t know all that. Would be cool to see them release the full finished game then after all these years.

Wonder if anyone will even buy this 3d trollmake then? I imagine the people who went OH SHIT TURTLES IN TIME! and clicked buy without even realizing they were being misled will probably think twice about doing that again, so who’s even gonna buy this?

day1 purchase i think right guys

God dammit, they broke Specs. You bastards!

That trailer looks like something made in Windows Movie Maker…

How fucking horrible…

Wow…glad this is msoft-exclusive. Will definitely pirate the soundtrack, though. What a stupid-ass title…

The fact that this “game” is MS exclusive is not the reason that it looks shitty. This abortion shouldn’t be released on any platform

I know. I’m just saying I’m glad they kept this crap contained.

They ruined a classic

God fucking help the people who made this game.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they killed themselves for this, it is THAT GODDAMN DEPRESSING

How much more depressing can their lives get?

I was excited, reading the title of the topic.
Clicked the youtube… omfg…
