Description
"Double Dragon II: The Revenge" is a beloved classic in the beat 'em up genre that first graced the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1990. Developed by Technōs Japan, this sequel picks up after the events of its predecessor, "Double Dragon", continuing the story of martial arts brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee as they seek vengeance for the death of Billy’s girlfriend, Marian. Distinguished by its side-scrolling gameplay, the game sends players through various urban environments, fighting off gangs of thugs and formidable bosses using an array of martial arts techniques. Unique to this installment are the directional attack controls, wherein one button always attacks towards the left and the other towards the right, regardless of which direction the character is facing, adding a strategic layer to the combat mechanics.
"Double Dragon II: The Revenge" expanded on the original's formula by including new moves, such as the cyclone kick and the hyper uppercut, which enhanced the depth and excitement of the combat sequences. Additionally, this sequel introduced cooperative gameplay, allowing two players to team up as the Lee brothers, which was a defining feature that greatly increased the game's popularity. Graphically, the game was an improvement over its predecessor, with more detailed character sprites and dynamic, colorful backgrounds. The game’s success solidified Double Dragon's place as a key franchise in the video game industry, influencing many other games within the genre and becoming a cultural icon in its own right.
