Defunct Games's video: 1980s Critics Review the Double Dragon Collection

Now that you’re done with Super Mario Bros. Wonder, it’s time to hit the streets with a completely different pair of siblings – Billy and Jimmy Lee. That’s right, the Double Dragon Collection will be coming to PlayStation, Xbox and Switch on November 9th. This hotly-anticipated compilation will feature the Nintendo Entertainment System versions of Double Dragon, Double Dragon II: The Revenge and Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones, as well as Super Double Dragon on Super NES, Double Dragon Advance on the Game Boy Advance and the awful Double Dragon IV from 2017. This sounds like an exciting collection, but I still need to ask: Are any of these games worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Mean Machines, GamePro and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when these games first came out. It’s time to put those sibling rivalries aside, because this is going to be a fist-pumping episode of the Double Dragon Review Crew. 0:00 – Introductions 1:12 – Commercial: Tiger Electronics Double Dragon (U.S.) 1:44 – Double Dragon (NES) 5:23 – Double Dragon II: The Revenge (NES) 8:06 – Commercial: Double Dragon II: The Revenge (U.S.) 8:25 – Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones (NES) 11:52 – Double Dragon Advance (GBA) 15:00 – Commercial: Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones (U.S.0 15:18 – Super Double Dragon (SNES) 18:46 – Commercial: Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone (Japan) 19:17 – Question of the Day Join our brand-new Discord Server: https://discord.gg/d5Y7r787tv Defunct Games is on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/DefunctGames Defunct Games is on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/defunctgames Defunct Games is home to thousands of reviews, articles, comedy pieces, podcasts, features and more: www.defunctgames.com
