You excited about Double Dragon Collection coming to all modern systems November 9... It includes... NES Double Dragon 1, 2 & 3, and Double Dragon 4, as well 2 bonus games... Double Dragon Advance and Super Double Dragon! I'm really hoping that it's the Super Famicom ver, Return Of Double Dragon!!!!!!
So excited to finally hear your thoughts on it and so glad that you're enjoying it. Lots of fair concerns that we'll look into. I do like to point out regarding 13:35 , that Secret Base is just me, Raymond. I have a partner for this project who works on the game's programming, but the core team is just 2 person! Of course, there were many freelance artist, musicians, voice actor, etc. that I've engaged, but that was entirely funded by my personal saving. We only engaged Modus in January, after the game is completed, as I spent every last penny and needed funding for porting and online multiplayer development, and marketing support. As for Arc System Works, I was the one that pitch them the idea, so this isn't a paid job, but more of a big studio giving a nameless indie developer a chance. I'm actually quite proud that people are comparing the work of 2 guys to established studios like Wayforward, Lizard Cube and Tribute games, but too many people seems to be getting this part of the story wrong, I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad, haha.
Thanks so much for the clarification Raymond! I didn't know Secret Base was that small! I mistakenly assumed it was a full team (for indie sized games at least) so that puts some things like how hard implementing online play would have been (I was there myself) in perspective.
@@MattMcMuscles No worries! Many people have made that assumption, and we've always take it as a compliment, haha. The good news is that thanks to Modus, we were able to work with yet another friend to help work on the online multiplayer while we were busy finishing up the game. So hopefully we will see it soon!
I got it around 2:00 pm I played for about 3 hours. You know the game's good when I intentionally trade in my lives and continues for tokens and then unlock the characters. The game's actually a lot of fun and i really enjoy it. The only thing i'd ask is to create a Dodge mechanic or a parry mechanic Of course, online play and maybe like a gauntlet mode. Either way the game's a lot of fun and I really enjoy it. The fact that such a small team made this, that's actually really cool. It's a lot of fun and I really enjoy it !
@@Satsui_No_Hado Thanks for the kind words! I've heard a lot about request for Dodge or I-frames, so I guess people are feeling that too many hits were not justify. I will try to see what I can do :)
I haven't played this one yet, but based on the gameplay I've seen and Slope and Matt's praise, holy fuck, way to go, Raymond. Seriously, when I think "indy dev" it's usually some nonsensical bullshit that's way too impressed with itself, not revitalizing a franchise from my childhood. Hopefully, this gets you some "cash" to "continue" making great games.
Honestly, all jokes aside, it was objectively the smartest thing to do. Just like our boy said the series has way too much baggage, so having the game take place before all that nonsense occurred was a great strategy.
I feel like the tag mechanic is supposed to be a stand in for a dodge/block, it's easy to get stunlocked and the tag breaks you out of a lot of bad situations. It uses the same bar as the special moves so it feels like sort of a risk/reward thing - use the special to get those juicy crowd control bonuses but don't abuse or mistime it or you lose your defense.
I know what you mean, On the last fight my characters died nearly instantly because I can't evade. If I do tag my 2nd character is standing there like "HIT COME ON HIT ME!!!" Then dies. Which almost kept me from beating the game on the Max difficulty.
Yes indeed, that was the plan! I think when you realize that, it works really well. However, it seems to take too much for people to realize this, which is something to think about.
It seems like the food award could be announced with, say, an icon overlapping the portrait of the character earning it, or even just a distinctive sound. Screen-covering, game-pausing interruptions feel like they should be spared for things like boss introductions and defeats and the like- things that are predictable and announce a change in play, rather than an event the player might trigger multiple times in a level. Especially in a 2-player game. You don't want your partner cursing you out to stop KO-ing three mooks at once.
I’m late since you posted your comment but if you haven’t played it yet, there is an option to disable that award pause and make the game run normal without interruptions.
Great review. I'm truly glad this game seems like the perfect logical step for Double Dragon to go in. I pretty much agree with all of your points, especially concerning the story; the post apocalyptic setting was perfect for the series and there should be more focus on it. Hopefully this game does well enough to put the Lee brothers back in full prominence.
The character art style grew on me over the course of the video, but man does it feel weirdly out of place for the series. I guess it's not any more out of place than the cartoon versions, lol. Everything else looks and sounds fantastic, I think I have to pick this up. thanks for the push!
I'm far from thrilled about the art direction. I'm still going to buy this to support the franchise though, we need more DD games. I just hope that in the future we get more 'mature' DD games again, like the NES ones or RoDD.
Woah, i didn't know about that progression order mechanic - sure, other reviewers mention that you can choose the order you tackle each gang, but you're the only one who explains that each subsequent gang becomes more powerful, and even the boss fight itself can change because of this, so it's much more than just Megaman-style level choice, that's awesome! Definitely getting this game
If they would add more characters, I would love Skullmageddon to be added. Maybe the Okada sisters . . . maybe. But also maybe a crossover character or two, like at least from River City Ransom. I would love to say that I wouldn't mind seeing some more arcsys characters added as bonus content as well, but I'd rather not ask or expect them to go that crazy. Honestly River City Ransom would be enough, maybe even River City Girls.
Some characters like Chen & Linda actually do have evasive moves. Even without tho....there's a dedicated run, i-frames in the double jump (as well as a recovery), & a bailout on the tag. Jussayin; there's options....(I knew they were legit when I played Bimmy/Jimmy w/ casino as the last stage & got through allllllll them obstacles w/o gettin hit) Btw huge thanks for your preview; it sold me on the game & not only do I not regret the purchase....I would actually put it up there w/ SOR4 & Shredder's Revenge. So much nuance under the hood here...
I agree. If they added some sort of "universal" dodge/evade mechanic then it would take away from some of the differences/strengths of certain characters.
At 1st I was hoping that DDG would get the look of how Lizard Cube did Streets Of Rage 4... But the art style of this game has It's own Uniqueness about it.... And the gameplay 4 damn sure makes up 4it... The characters and the juggle system is out standing I would definitely Recommend Double Dragon Gaiden...👏🧐💯🥂
Gotta check out the Double Dragon Spin-Off that was on Neo Geo. Rage of the Dragons was an interesting 2v2 with only our protagonists amid plenty of memorable fighters. Brue Wrave.
Update: Its really fun. Its really good and has tons of replay value regardless of how many times you beat it. Theres tons of unlockables that honestly, arent that impressive but add something to work towards. The gameplay is solid. I like it
Im a huge Double Dragon fan since the 80's but the art style of this game could have been better. I understand the creative reason why the devs choose for this kind of style but I was hoping for a more Super Dragon art style or DD Neon. Still though I will get this game at some point to support the Devs. We need more DD games.
If they ever release more characters via DLC who would you want added. I know I jokingly say Sonny Lee, but how would he fight? Would it be more weapons based, or a mix Billy and Jimmy?
This game was developed by a very small team on a very small budget by basically a super fan who just got lucky thanks to his previous work. I'm enjoying it so far but yeah, I would love a toggle switch for that food pop up...
After months of playing this, completing it until all characters have been unlocked, all routes taken, this is a fantastic game. It has a lot of depth and some great move upgrades. A really tight and well thought out game and that has the strategy, gameplay and progressive levels to make this a must have. Just awesome.
So 4 gangs would require 4 playthrus to see each gangs full content? Plus all the characters to play as? Sounds like a lot of hours if it gets its hooks into you
Hey there, good review. I thought I might chime in because I've been playing the switch version and think there is one thing people should know about it. The switch version has weirdly long load times, about a minute long each time it pops up. It is a fun game to play on the go but that long of a load time is incredibly frustrating
I noticed this too (I have Switch version); but also, there was a particular moment when I played Junkyard as 2nd stage and there was this intense boss fight at the top of the junk temple and the game went into some MAJOR slowdown that resulted in me just getting completely obliterated. I know Switch isn't a powerhouse system, but a game like this really shouldn't be having these kinds of issues, even on Switch.
Thanks for another great review! Have you ever tried Fight'n Rage? It was made by this one guy, and it kicks some serious ass! The music is exceptional, the graphics look great, and the gameplay is satisfying and quite complex. I strongly suggest you give this one a go! Trust me, it's worth your time! It truly is a hidden gem! Keep on being awesome!
So far, I’m enjoying it. I almost forgot it was rogue like in the beginning! But overall, I feel the same with the ‘what can be improved’ portion. But yeah, it’s fun! Great review as always!
Love your videos, man! Keep up the good work. Is there anyway that you can contact the guy (Rocman?) that you played the double dragon mobile game with, and asked him to do a tutorial video showing all of the Sou-Setsu-Ken moves of that double dragon game? 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Oh yeah Matt review! Really nice review! Will grab it when online coop drop with a friend. Really don't know why the devs didnt have this day one....oh well
Double dragon was my favorite arcade game when i was a kid , i used to love grabbing my cousin by the head and kneeing him in the face while he was screaming because i was kneeing him in the face while we was on holiday hahahaha
I got this yesterday and binged on it for aroud 6 hours straight completed the 4 Bosses 3 times. Once you get your SP to recharge after every crowd control Marian becomes a power house with that Rocket.
Let it be known. I think they patched this game. The issues you mentioned seemed to have been fixed. You can toggle on/off the triple K.O. pop up, and R1 is a dash/dodge roll.
A small detail I find it weird in that Billy has blonde hair while Jimmy has dark hair, in the original, Jimmy supposed to be the blonde one, while Billy is the Brown/dark hair one
it's that on the NES version on the arcade version (the original), it's Billy who is blond and Jimmy who has black hair, I don't know why the publishers changed during the console ports, it's only after that it came from the NES version through the PC engine version until the double dragon advance reboot which had also made this choice. it's that since double dragon NEON they have gone back to their original hair colors.
I played through the game twice and I hated the game at first. Worst fighting mechanics ever I thought. I didn’t know you could run and kick. And neither did I know you could grab and throw enemies into the approaching horde behind you. Knocking them out as bowling pins. I wish the game would tell you how to pull off all the moves. I know you need to unlock tips and strategies. But I really think those should be available at the start.
Yea the Jimquisition review skewered it (unfairly I might add)....it reeked of someone who dabbled for 15 min on easy & vomited out a horrible hot take.....& didn't actually take time to learn the game. Kinda reminds me of a harsher version of IGN's SOR4 review actually....
Shout out to Marian’s mechanics. At first, I was dissapointed and confused with her gimmick, but once I found that the game rewards crowd control and that she is great for that, she became one of my favorite characters
The progression system sounds really good, I think I'm gonna give this game a try. But I'm also surprised you didn't mention the artstyle which is... A mixed bag... It's not bad but... I think the backgrounds are good... But the character pixel arts are... Too simple... I think the worst cases are the 2 main characters, the other 2 and the bosses look good... But again the Lee bros have a really awkward "artist's first character pixel art" feel and I wish they had made them look a little less simple.
Not exactly, the mayor imposed Draconian rules on the city which eventually makes you sort of realise you have become the hated villain as time goes by.
Quite a few of these smaller publishers that bring smaller/niche/indie games physical versions, and distribute them to retailers (amazon, gamestop, & bb), have popped up in recent years. Modus, Inin, Microids are just off the top of my head. Before companies that do limited physical game prints (such as LRG and SRG) came about, there were no publishers that wanted to spend money on manufacturing and distributing these smaller titles. Now that the limited print companies have shown there is still a lot of demand for physical copies of smaller games, it seems these new smaller publishing companies have taken notice that a little bit of money can be had publishing them.

Actually i feel that rebooting the timeline is the most Double Dragon thing they could have done.
After seeing how fucked the DD timeline truly is with the Wha Happun video? Yeah absolutely
I didn't even realize there was any timeline at all.
Honestly, all jokes aside, it was objectively the smartest thing to do. Just like our boy said the series has way too much baggage, so having the game take place before all that nonsense occurred was a great strategy.

I would be interested in more game reviews. You clearly put in a lot of effort to be fair and reasonable.
I look at the thumbnail and me, not knowing the game, immediately said "That's just Ashley holding a bazooka."
And now I can't unsee it.
you're not wrong tho
Welcome to Resident Evil 4
Missed opportunity that the game doesn't let us play the white haired katana lady from the Zeebo version
Her name is Saber
I wish the game would Look Like it does on the thumbnail

I wonder if there is any possibility of dlc containing a cross over with the Battletoads. That’d be an epic call back.
Im all for that
Great game. After this and Strrets of rage 4, we need Final Fight 4!
We indeed need to get a new Final Fight game. If one will come out one day then its an instant buy for me.
If they would add more characters, I would love Skullmageddon to be added. Maybe the Okada sisters . . . maybe.
But also maybe a crossover character or two, like at least from River City Ransom.

the triangle hand gesture reminicent to DDP's diamond cutter signal🙌💎
BANG!!!!!!!!
I just finished reading the Jimquisition review when I saw your video, and it's interesting how different your takes on the game are.
The Commander hated Vanquish, so we all can't be perfect.
True enough. I suppose it's all a matter of taste.
"WE'RE THE BLACK/SHADOW WARRI--"
"We're the Killers now."
"...Oh."
The Killers was actually the name of Willy's gang before he formed the Black Warriors.
@@Wickedmadman366 Black Shadow Warriors
12:01 there is a quickstep/evasive roll, you have to be running though so it needs some polish for sure
That's horizontal, not vertical.
@@MattMcMuscles oh my bad! Well the roll needs work still, having to run while escape rolling isnt always optimal. My bad, misheard you!
Gotta check out the Double Dragon Spin-Off that was on Neo Geo. Rage of the Dragons was an interesting 2v2 with only our protagonists amid plenty of memorable fighters. Brue Wrave.
I remember that it's used the Matrimelee mechanics too
Jones and Elias was added to that game as Power Instinct if remember it too
I really want this. Im gunna buy it.
I bought it.
I was gonna say "DO IT", but now I will just say "GOOD"
Update: Its really fun. Its really good and has tons of replay value regardless of how many times you beat it. Theres tons of unlockables that honestly, arent that impressive but add something to work towards. The gameplay is solid. I like it
You said what you were going to do, and you did it. I’m proud of you
good review. i do agree ONLINE would be the seller for me. i'm going wait for it to comeout before spending 25 bones on it.
Damn, this made me buy this game - did not disappoint! The music really was spot on for this game! 🤘
Im a huge Double Dragon fan since the 80's but the art style of this game could have been better.

I can't get over Billy's face and stance
So derp
I hope they bring back that cool white-haired katana lady from the Zeebo game.
Her name is Lavis. And she is the best friend of Deena Mackey, Machine Gun Willy's niece and another exclusive boss of the Zeebo / Mobile game.
This looks great fun for splitscreen co op. Did they add anything in updates? likr a quick dash to avoid a hit yet?
Thanks for another great review! Have you ever tried Fight'n Rage? It was made by this one guy, and it kicks some serious ass!

How do you roll while running. It makes you jump most of the time but sometimes you end up rolling
I loving the old Technos Combatribes art style ❤❤❤
Cool review. BTW what is the name of the theme track you got at the end of the video? It is sick!
This game looks cool, thanks for the review man. More cool reviews plz!
What is the outro song? Was trying to find it two weeks ago.
Love your videos, man! Keep up the good work. Is there anyway that you can contact the guy (Rocman?) that you played the double dragon mobile game with, and asked him to do a tutorial video showing all of the Sou-Setsu-Ken moves of that double dragon game? 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am sold on this game, great review, especially after you said online was announced, picking this game for the Switch as soon as it drops :)
dropped a few weeks back
The power of might the power of right we are double dragons
Oh yeah Matt review! Really nice review! Will grab it when online coop drop with a friend. Really don't know why the devs didnt have this day one....oh well
Double dragon was my favorite arcade game when i was a kid , i used to love grabbing my cousin by the head and kneeing him in the face while he was screaming because i was kneeing him in the face while we was on holiday hahahaha
Growl arcade archives came out the same day as this
Class game.
Has there been any updates on the online co-op?
I got this yesterday and binged on it for aroud 6 hours straight completed the 4 Bosses 3 times. Once you get your SP to recharge after every crowd control Marian becomes a power house with that Rocket.
Been playing this, keeping an eye out to see what Matty thought
They better add Sonny Lee in an update. It would be the ultimate twist of events if he had a mix of both brother’s fighting skills and special moves.
what is the name of the song at 15:10 please?
It's from the OST Double Dragon 2 arranged soundtrack (or ost).ruclips.net/video/aJPjSPdF0GQ/видео.htmlsi=LvViMb5Rp11NFbBN.
There has been so little coverage of this game, even from the indie / rogue like scene on YT
I was already in good terms of buying the game... but I blame you, Matt, for giving the final push to purchase it. Hope you are happy!
Great review! What was the name of the song that plays at the end of the video?
It's from the OST Double Dragon 2 arranged soundtrack (or ost).ruclips.net/video/aJPjSPdF0GQ/видео.htmlsi=LvViMb5Rp11NFbBN.
Matt, did you see the Double Dragon action figures that were shown at Comic Con?
I did! Will def pick those up!
Not Available it's sold out!
Does this game have infinite continues?
Awesome video matt!! I'm enjoying it myself. Not as good as shredders revenge for me but I've never been too into DD. Please check out jitsu squad :)
Let it be known. I think they patched this game. The issues you mentioned seemed to have been fixed. You can toggle on/off the triple K.O. pop up, and R1 is a dash/dodge roll.
I just wanna see a beat 'em up with Tekken levels of move lists. Force Mode was fuckin sweet.
9:55 a wild battletoads poster appears
Don’t especially love the visual style, but it’s new Double Dragon, and good Double Dragon, so I’m definitely buying it.
Looks like Double Dragon meets Scott Pilgrim. Maybe you're actually playing the Katayanagi brothers?
You're wrong about DDIV it had online added in a patch.
Holy crap. Seems it got added several years after it came out, damn.
A small detail I find it weird in that Billy has blonde hair while Jimmy has dark hair, in the original, Jimmy supposed to be the blonde one, while Billy is the Brown/dark hair one

Where's the green guy Jeff he's not an enemy in it?

I'd say I lean more towards your review than James Stephanie Sterling's review. It's pretty good once you get to grips with the mechanics.
Yea the Jimquisition review skewered it (unfairly I might add)....it reeked of someone who dabbled for 15 min on easy & vomited out a horrible hot take.....& didn't actually take time to learn the game. Kinda reminds me of a harsher version of IGN's SOR4 review actually....
I think this game is great, its fun, lots of unlockables, like the graphics and the combo system, my only complaint is how short it is
I hope they do let you toggle off that food update screen, I can see that ruining the flow.
They already did that, updated it a while ago.
Happy to report they added that defensive roll!!!
I love your videos Matt. You are an honest reviewer and entertaining. I no longer trust game sites like IGN.
What is that sick outro cover?
It's from the OST Double Dragon 2 arranged soundtrack (or ost).ruclips.net/video/aJPjSPdF0GQ/видео.htmlsi=LvViMb5Rp11NFbBN.
@@Alexcobra861 Thank you
You've also got Super and Advance to come to the Switch. Now do 8 hour F-Zero vid Matty.
Loved the review-Does anyone know the name of the song at the end of the video? It sounds amazing!
The name of the song is Dead or Alive. It is the theme of Double Dragons, vocal version from the Double Dragon II arranged OST album.
@@shinryuaku You are a lifesaver! Thanks!
No problem 😎
Shout out to Marian’s mechanics. At first, I was dissapointed and confused with her gimmick, but once I found that the game rewards crowd control and that she is great for that, she became one of my favorite characters
I now have it and beat the first 3 levels already.
YES!!! Ranzou was the best char. Hope to see him in the future
They could have thrown in that block/counter system that super double dragon had.
Word has it that a double dragon collection is coming in November
I just saw the news. Yesterday I said. I wish I would get to play GBA version along with SNES version again. So hyped!!
@@TomAnderson7same. Never had a chance to play DDA...
and I haven't played SDD in YEARS. Maybe they'll include the US and JP versions too
@@dealt Yea the Japanese version is preferable but both would be great.
You need to review the Ultimate Double Dragon fan game whenever it releases.
Ultimate Double Dragon is so good. 😊
The progression system sounds really good, I think I'm gonna give this game a try.
But I'm also surprised you didn't mention the artstyle which is... A mixed bag... It's not bad but... I think the backgrounds are good... But the character pixel arts are... Too simple... I think the worst cases are the 2 main characters, the other 2 and the bosses look good... But again the Lee bros have a really awkward "artist's first character pixel art" feel and I wish they had made them look a little less simple.
Best double dragon ever...💯🔥
How many times are you gonna reboot the goddamn timeline of DD?
Tecmo: Yes
Technos not Tecmo but I'm sure Tecmo will reboot Tecmo Super Bowl..... Yeeeaaahhhh!!!!!!👍👍👍
This game rules! So glad it was ported to the PS5.
Loving this game! The mayor kicks ass. He was a pain in the ass in DD2. Glad he's on the good side now.
Not exactly, the mayor imposed Draconian rules on the city which eventually makes you sort of realise you have become the hated villain as time goes by.
I love this reviews for upcoming classic games. I'm a fan of Double Dragon and I will add this game in my games wishlist.
13::20 You have experience of Abobo's rear? HA HA :)
As my Brit friend says, "Chuffed!"
thats dope u can play as the villians😎🔥🔥
Ah modus games, these guys are becoming my favorite publishers.
Quite a few of these smaller publishers that bring smaller/niche/indie games physical versions, and distribute them to retailers (amazon, gamestop, & bb), have popped up in recent years. Modus, Inin, Microids are just off the top of my head.
Before companies that do limited physical game prints (such as LRG and SRG) came about, there were no publishers that wanted to spend money on manufacturing and distributing these smaller titles. Now that the limited print companies have shown there is still a lot of demand for physical copies of smaller games, it seems these new smaller publishing companies have taken notice that a little bit of money can be had publishing them.
