So it’s with that in mind that I’m happy to report that the latest game in the series, (it might feel like a reboot, but it isn’t. I spent many an hour beating up nameless thugs (although I guess they technically did have names) in the arcade port into oblivion, as well as being beaten into oblivion myself. It was an okay time, but far and away my fondest memories of the Lee brothers comes from the original Nintendo Entertainment System title.
The last game I remember to feature the DD crew was Double Dragon V on the Genesis in 1994/95. I remember DD being one of the hottest games on the NES (and in the Arcades) back in the ’80s and early ’90s then the series just kind of stopped and rode off into the night on it’s steel horse. A classic gets a synth-rock, neon drenched ’80s revival, as Billy and Jimmy Lee make their return to consoles.ĭouble Dragon (DD) has had a little bit of an odd history, at least it has from my perspective.
Retro Gamer is the world's longest-running magazine dedicated to classic games, and you can find out more about it at at Magazines Direct. If you're passionate about retro gaming or just want to learn more about it, then you should check out Retro Gamer. It’s quite simply the best game you can experience on Nintendo’s handheld. It's a deadly game of cat and mouse which is enhanced by the game's atmospheric visuals and the claustrophobic nature of the GBA's small screen. Samus herself is trying to regain her lost powers, meaning she’s constantly stalked by a far more powerful foe. Its other strength is the introduction of Samus' nemesis SA-X, a deadly parasite formed from her old Power Suit. While it doesn't offer the same level of freedom as its older siblings, its more linear structure leads to a far stronger narrative than earlier Metroid games and explores Samus’ personality in a way that the later games would embrace. Metroid Fusion is the result and it’s a fantastic adventure that takes the series in interesting new directions. Many expected Super Metroid to be converted to Nintendo's portable 32-bit powerhouse like past Super Mario games had been, but series stalwart Yoshio Sakamoto had other plans.
