20:32 I always thought it was hilarious to imagine that it's not two Abobos here but it's the same guy. You knock him off the cliff and he immediately rushes up the stairs to burst through the door again like "DON'T DO THAT."
Hahaaha
"THAT WAS EXCEEDINGLY RUDE."
Back into the room. "Ok look here you little shit!"
This was too dam funny omg lol
Imagine you were trying to fight a dude and he just whips out a stick of dynamite, lights it, and drops it a few feet in front of himself.
Seems pretty easy to beat him. Just run like hell.
Yes! Saturdays are worth getting up early again!
It's Saturday morning cartoons, but for adults
@@EarthPoweredHippie i couldn't agree more 👍
Lol I woke up at 4am thinking he posted a video
Username checks out 👍
@@EarthPoweredHippie l)k
Best beat’em up of all time. Still play it to this day.
On the NES for sure...but still not as good as Turtles in Time on the SNES or Streets of Rage II on the Genesis.
One of my favorite games of all time. 👍
I played this game so much back in the day. That flying knee was the original OP move lol.
I loved the SOUND it made when the knee connected. It was like "YES!"
@@themykeshow9027 I was reading GBusters comment and thought the exact same thing lol. It was so F'n satisfying!
That nuclear powered knee, pure devastation!
That was my favorite move, i love how it would send the enemy flying across the screen
Best part was it was a pop up move too. Like oh you just knocked me down? Lights out.
watching these videos is like somebody walking into your childhood home and saying "oh, you didn't know about the 2nd basement?" and pressing a secret button you never noticed that leads to a room full of waterslides & fireworks
'These right arm enemies dont ever kick'.. proceeds to get flying kicked off a ledge.
Yeah they can kick, but it's rare.
They came out kicking, then they kicked him off the ledge: I’d say after they CAN kick and they can kick regularly!
Looks like the upper hand is on the other foot.
I absolutely had no idea that there was a continue code in this game as I used to play DD2 on NES when I was a kid without any cheats, I literally completed the game on Supreme Master with both Billy and Jimmy Lee. The gear room in Mission 7 was probably more stressful for me when I first played it as a boy
Fun fact on the helicopter level if you pause the game on the original nes version when the door is closed for about 5 seconds than unpaused the door will open as soon as the game play starts back up
Cool to know.
"Take that knife and put it in his face." - Gaming 101.
I love his very calming delivery behind it! Lol!
By far one of my favorite NES games. Master the art of the flying knee kick, and you can cruise through easily.
Couple of things you forgot with some moves. When you head grab an enemy, you can press down and the attack buttons for an elbow smash as well as if you press up while head grabbing you can kick them as well.
And the opposite direction attack to throw them behind you.
I normally do knee-elbow-high kick for smooth combo animation.
@@maintaint3003 oh yes forgot about that move, he actually mentioned it, but didn't show it lol
It's amazing how much old video games were able to do with so few buttons.
Yep, the grappling actually reminds me of a muay thai clinch, which I thought was crazy cool for the time and system limitations. You can use the throw and high kick to direct enemies off of ledges. But my favorite is to use these moves to knock enemies into walls. Probably doesn't do any extra damage, but it looks cool to brutally smash them into stuff and watch them bounce off!
@@payne540 especially the over the shoulder throw into a wall. That looks brutal. That and hyper knee into the wall. Haha
Double Dragon: *Ends with you having to fight Jimmy*
Double Dragon 2: *Starts with you killing Jimmy*
Or, if you do the trick with Player 2 on the offensive, Jimmy gets his revenge for what the NES forced upon him in the first game.
At Mission 3, since I was a little kid back then, I simply go to the very far right side and keep walking up and down, and right before the door opens, I stay at the right sided of the door, and the enemies, all of them will fall from the chopper. If you do it right you don't have to fight at all at this mission.
21:39 "These Right-Arm Men never kick"
*Right Arm Men immediately kicks*
Other than that, great video
Lol, that was a jump kick
@@GamesMoreEpic I can't help but notice that word there after jump.
Thanx! I missed it. 🤣
And again at 27:37
@@WaywardBrigand 29:30 has a couple in quick succession
My major gripe with the DD games is that a game with such cumbersome jumping controls should not have such precision platforming sections.
I agree, though I preferred the platforming in II to the same in I and III. I's controls were far worse for even simple jumps, and III had no margin for error. II was awful, but when you ccoplished a jump section it felt really good, you know?
And when they ported to modern systems, it would have been an easy fix too. Just so damn annoying.
@@BrainSlugs83 RIGHT!?
This I dunno what god he prayed to but I could never ever ever ever get the jump to be consistent it either never went off when needed or I jumped into danger.
So grats lol.
@Retro Storm the challenge should NEVER come from the control scheme. Or lack there of.
Awesome job, man. I remember the first time I beat the final boss. That awesome music, the way the background changed mid-fight and the slow-mo kill. So epic.
I bought this game and Mega Man 2 a couple months after I got my NES with Zelda for my Birthday. My childhood NES gaming started off with a bang!
This is definitely in my top 10 on NES. I love the history review in each of your videos before the walkthrough. I learn something new in each of your videos.
I loved this box art as a kid when it came out. Might be my favorite NES era cover.
One of my favorite Nes back in the late 80s and early 90s.
I loved this game so so bad!!! I finished it a thousand times and it's so cool to see it again, thanks bro awesome tutorial!
Interesting fact: All subsequent versions of Double Dragon have ended up denying Marian's death. In both the arcade and the DD3 NES game, Marian is alive. In the NES version of the game, she is possessed by the final enemy, Princess Noiram (Cleopatra in the Japanese version). Strangely, in the arcade DD3 and Super Double Dragon it is mentioned or appears in the manuals. In the DD3 arcade it is said that she is also the seller of the weapons store.
The only game that accepts Marian's death in the second game is the fighting arcade "Rage of the Dragons", although it is not official canon. It was recently announced that Marian will be a playable character in River City Girls 2.
My jaw dropped when you mentioned that infinite lives glitch. I remember it happened to me once a looooong time ago and I had no idea how it happened. I was never able to replicate it an everyone I told thought I was making it up. I love this channel.
This was the one, my childhood was trying to reach the castle , ive never met the doppleganger... Time to get my revenge on this game. Thank you!
Mechanically speaking, the Doppleganger records your attacks throughout the game, and uses what you use.
Energy Balls represent weapon use, and disappearing represents your grab attacks. So you can theoretically cheese it by avoiding weapons and grabs. Test it with a game genie even. In fact, this doesn't relegate you to weak attacks either, as it appears to have no analog to your whirlwind kick, jump kick, or knee.
Also, Marion isn't dead in DD3, just captured by Cleopatra or mind controlled, depending on the version.
Another dose of nostalgia this Saturday morning. A game I rented with my younger brother, we spent hours on and still have the Nintendo power. The only thing missing after this is to watch Captain N
Ok, when I was younger and playing this game as a kid, that extra lives glitch happened and I had no idea how I did it. Thanks for finally explaining what it was!
Seriously one of my favorite games. Among the most played on my Nintendo. Still play it on occasion. Have completed this game many times.
Would love a guide for DD3. That game was way too hard compared to this game. I don't think I've ever been past the first stage of DD3.
DD3 was a nightmare ! I always go out from the gym with 1 health point .
In DD3 it is actually way easier to make it to the final stage than in DD2, because DD3 has less instant death bullshit parts in it. The secret to that game is to only do the jumping spinning kicks whenever you're controlling Billy and/or Jimmy. It is by far their best move and will kill enemies in two hits. (in most of the stages anyway) Once you get the second dude (Chin?) just use his punch combo. Just stand with your back against a wall and mash the punch button and you will own enemies with it. It is crazy powerful.
DD3 is the easiest of the series. And no, I'm not kidding.
@@skeletorment That is not a common view my guy. It's the only one I never beat for instance. Seems like the top two also struggled with it too. I'm sure I could beat it, but really wasn't nearly as interested in it as I was this one. Just seemed meh
@@lloydlineske2642 The entire game can be beaten from start to finish just using hurricane kicks alone. The enemies rarely duck. For the bosses, just switch to the nuchunku, and that's basically it...
I used to play this with my older brother all the time. Brings back some memories
This game was truly awesome, I got it for Christmas when it came out, spent countless hours playing it! They gameplay, the music, sound effects and the moves were awesome. Thanks for posting this, excellent video my man👍🏼😎
Yeaaaa !!! I’ve beat this a couple times as a kid .. it’s double dragon 3 that I’ve never gotten far in .. will that be next?? Lol . Another great video !!
Spin kick and never stop. That is the DD3 tip
@@ryanm4281 it doesn’t always work for me when I try it .. (the spin kick)
Is that the one with the Kung fu guy and ninja guy? If so I couldn’t beat it either.
Three was brutal. I couldn’t get past the mummies
@@mcinnisj100 ya
"Hyper Uppercut", "Hyper Knee" - this is what i thought Sagat's moves from SF2 were called until someone told me he was actually saying "tiger"
Happy Saturday! This game had some of the most notorious platforming ever
Shadow Boss: Ha Ha Ha... The Lee Twins are no match for us this time!!
Roper: Because of my Fists and Feet?
Williams: Because of my Steel?
Shadow Boss: No, because I put platforming in a martial arts game! Muahahaha!! They can't jump out of a wet paper bag!!
Roper: Oh, yeah that would do it. They'll probably never get here...
Williams: I was hoping for a fight, but... yah, they probably are dead somewhere.
“Take that knife and put it in his face.” That’s a shirt idea for merch.
No joke. I was playing this game last night on my switch.
Double Dragon 2 what a master piece and the music is so good. Maybe I'll finally be able to beat this game!
You have quickly become one of the channels I can't wait to drop new videos! Keep up the great work, and your doggo is fantastic! :D
One of my favorite games as a kid!
Played this again recently on "Double Dragon & Kunio-kun: Retro Brawler Bundle" Total classic. Me and my big sister used to play that on the NES when we were kids and we were so hype because this Double Dragon was actually 2 player unlike the first game on NES. Somethin like 30 years later I got to bond with my son playing through it all over again just recently. Dated but fun game
Everytime i watch your videos it take me back to my childhood
This was one of my favorite games growing up, and one of the first games I could easily complete by myself at 5 years-old.
Not sure if it was mentioned but you can execute an uppercut and hyper knee as you are getting up from being knocked down. Press the appropriate button quickly as you are getting up and you'll do the attack. Very useful for turning the tide when surrounded or in tight areas like the Sea Base.
These games were incredible back in the day!
My brothers loved this game. We played 2 player of course. On the beginning of mission 7, we would super knee player 2 to the other side to make crossing easier. XD
We also called the Williams "Pamper Kids", the right arm guys "Jackson Twins", and we called Abode "Arnold".
Fun times.
I introduced my 9yr old nephew to this in 2 PLAYER B MODE a couple weeks ago and he LOVES it!
(We're always kicking and punching each other it's so funny it's almost impossible to play XD)
Saturday mornings are great with these vids, its like being back in the 80-early 90s waking early to watch saturday morning cartoons
Man, I really love this game. Thanks for the upload. 😊
Imagine... you beat up your brother not only at the end but at the beginning. Brotherly love 💘
Look forward to these every week, class channel dude keep it up!
Instantly clicked on this video's thumbnail, in my subs list.
Didn't even see what else was new for me to watch, today.
Hey! About Bolo in the helicopter level. He is inspired by the actual Bolo from the movies.. You weren't sure where His name came from. Bolo is a real legend in the martial arts community. Bolo is the villain from the 80s movie "Bloodsport" staring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Bolo was also featured in the movie "Enter the Dragon" with Bruce Lee. It's the same guy. 😀
The Music, controls, Coop, everything was just perfect. Top 5 coop beat em up in my list
One of the toughest final bosses I’ve ever fought.
Loved this game when I was a kid as soon as I got used to the controls. Got it for getting a good report card. Best friend and I played the shit out of it but could never beat it.
DD 2 was definitely the best game in series and the 2-op on the NES was a also a game changer. Such a fun game, getting to mission 9 only in hard mode to challenge and beat the Shadow Master was grueling but such a huge satisfaction for my brother and I as 10 year olds!
I beat this game so many times as a kid, had no idea about the continue codes or the 2player live sacrifices. I “hyper kneed’ to play this again. Glad it’s still affordable ha ha
Thanks for playing this! And thanks for avenging my childhood (had difficulty on the platforming part). More power to you and your channel!
One of my favourite NES games. Absolutely the best in the series!
Please make an episode on River City Ransom! That game deserves the "U Can Beat Video Games" treatment!
Absolute classic! I played this game to death back in the day. And, honestly, once emulation and PCs were on the same page....spent my days on dial-up AOL chat and playing Nesticle FTW!
One of the best series on RUclips right here
Good to see people still appreciate this game, i didnt even know about the continue input, great video.
One of the best beat em up games in the NES along with Blaster Master as one the best looking games at that time and i had both games as well
I totally forgot about that extra lives trick. What a trip seeing it again.
Wow! I'm happy to see everything here. Also finally a game I know more than you!
The three things you didn't mention are...
1) When an opponent is starting to stand up, they are in the kneeling position if you try to throw a punch you'll actually throw a knee. The knee effectively puts them in the bent over animation.
2) Instead of just kneeling them in the face when you have them bent over you can press down and punch and you deliver an elbow to the spine. It's stronger than the knee. A ton of enemies can be beat with a stomach kick to bend them over then two elbows to the neck then throw them over your shoulder. Pretty sure doing that to someone in real life has similar effects.
4) When in the level with the overhead ceiling the most effectively strategy is to jump into the ceiling. It doesn't hurt you. Then when you start to stand again press both buttons. This fires off the hyper knee. Which is the most damaging move in the game. It also lifts you back up into the ceiling. Which sets up another knee. Rinse and repeat.
5) When crossing the lake in mission 4 the bottom path is easier. The reason why is if you press up and walk up against the wall where the ladder is it lines you up perfectly with the best line to take it's just jump jump jump jump at that point. You don't need walk up on the little floating piece as your video showed. It's easy to walk up too much and fall into the water.
6) The same as above in a way. When you are on the second to last level... Just before walking into the big room you press up and press against the wall. That's puts you at the perfect height to be able to strike the ninjas that run out after you.
7) You showed it but didn't describe it. When you are getting up and in that kneeling position you can press both buttons to jump which will do a hyper knee. Or you can press punch and do the hyper Uppercut. I talked about it in number 4, but wanted to point out that it wasn't mentioned. It's pretty much the best way to attack enemies in the game.
I love the inclusion of the cyclone kick. It looks super cool and in a lot of side-scrolling beat'em ups, it would be considered a "special" move and probably cost you life.
me and and my older brother used to play this everyday after school great times a classic! some great tips 😄👍
Another awesome video my good sir. Keep it up. I love watching these on Saturday morning.
Marion is to Billy and Jimmy what John Wicks Dog is to him. Got my pop tarts ready and wearing my TMNT PJ's (Not really I am old) but I am doing that in spirit! PS: That killing disclaimer was lit!
Definitely a favorite of mine. I ALWAYS had trouble passing the Mansion of Terror stage due to the notorious platforming. I definitely need to memorize those codes again and definitely whip out the NES and play it again.
One thing for sure, the PC Engine/TurboGrafx CD version, which is heavily based on THIS version, starts with the Shadow Warriors attacking a few civilians and the Lee brothers rescue them. However, when they get to Marian's apartment, the Shadow Warriors killed her. The ending is also the same in that version too which Marian is brought back to life after defeating the Shadow Warrior boss. It's also 2-Player simultaneous and you can change the settings in the options menu. You'll love the animated cutscenes there. Main problem: It costs a FORTUNE to own that game, so you'd probably have to play it via emulation or a repro.
The Japanese Megadrive version was basically a port of the original Arcade game done by PalSoft, which I believe was a division of Technos.
This might have been the first game that I ever beat way back in the day. It holds no secret from anymore lol
Dude you seriously make Saturday’s a treat… thank you.
Keep it up, mate. You're doing a great work here.
Back when I was a kid, we called the "Hyper Knee" the "Phoenix Knee." This game in particular was one of my fave NES titles, and as a result, I pounded away at it for hours on end. Ended up getting so versed in that attack that everything was dying at a rapid pace.
Always glad to see more Double Trouble! When I first played the game and hit the false ending, I was a little peeved that I didn't get the actual final boss. But I liked the game enough to play it again start to finish on Hard. Definitely one of my favorites for the NES.
This is my favorite NES Double Dragon game, though the crossover with Battletoads was way up there on my list too.
The oft-ignored post-apocalyptic part of the setting is a low-key attempt to get that Fist of the North Star money.
@Retro Storm double dragon advance
26:26 - "Take that knife and put it in his face " Hearing that in your calm, matter-of-fact voice gave me a legit laugh. Awesome video!
For cyclone kick, you don't need to repeatedly press both attack buttons. Just press one time the attack button when you're almost at the higher point of your jump
You mentioned kunio kun and you mentioned RIVER CITY RANSOM! I'd like to see you beat that game for sure!
Well done man! This game takes me back to my childhood
It seems like you lived my life with all these games. I really like the history the game the most. Well done man.
Great video as always. Figured out a lot of those tricks playing the game years ago. Looking forward to DD 3 at some point.
4:15 one of the best graphic cover ever
O melhor Double Dragon e um dos melhores Beat'em Ups de todos os tempos! Valeu pelo Vídeo!!!
You can use the ladder against the Abore during the gauntlet. Climb up the ladder, he jumps up, you give him the tornado kick and climb down the ladder, he jumps down, you give him the tornado kick and climb up the ladder, rinse and repeat til he’s gone
Thank you for sharing this. I have a fondness for this game as it is one of the first NES games I remember defeating. I have a Xbox One and it was available in their App Store, so I got it for around $5. This video definitely makes me want to play the game.
The 5 $ will be worth it.
Thank you for another awesome walkthrough i love how you break em down bro
One of my favorites games ever! Thanks for sharing my guy!!!
I love how you talk about "canon" in a universe where Jimmy Lee isn't the bad guy, then he is, then he isn't again, and where Bimmy Lee exists. 😂
I love 80's bad guys! Dystopian punk ninjas from the 2000s..🤩
Coming up on 50k. So excited for you, it’s very much deserved.
Another epic vid!!! Did you mention river city ransom? How about a vid on that? That game always confused the hell out of me. Don't remember ever beating it, and I beat a hell of a lot of NES games.
@17:03
We used to call that guy Arnold back in the day! LoL! :D
Love your vids. I keep going back to the classics as part of reliving some of my fav childhood times. These games are so much fun and actually make me LOL with some of these moves and characters. I forgot about most of the moves so when I did them accidentally it was a total welcome surprise. Love blasting the enemies off the screen or up in the air. Was still in grade school when most of the NES library came out and to this day I impressed myself with some of the games I beat or got far despite the 8-bit difficulty then.
was just going through my NES Classic. good timing.
That Burnov strategy... the only thing that comes into my mind is he: "wait up, you won't go any further" after the knee attack: "Aaaargh.... flies off-screen and cease to exist". XD
I knew about the mission 5 excesive extra lives glitch (hard to setup, but really a fun one just to see the messed up value of lives on the screen).
Love at the end how you don't endorse to do the violence spree to save a loved one.
One thing I didn't know was the continuation codes, I do wonder if those work in the Double Dragon & Kunio-Kun Collection... maybe I have to check that out myself.
This was the first game I ever completed on the hardest difficulty.
