This version is effectively a straight emulation, maintaining the original's pixel-perfect graphics and even its notorious hardware slowdown when more than four enemies are on screen.
“It's a classic NES game, I'd go so far as to consider it to be a staple of the system. It had some flaws, sure, but they aren't too bad considering.” GameFAQs · 15 years ago
The game supports two-player cooperative play both locally and online, along with online leaderboards.
An optional graphical facelift was included that sharpens and smoothes the original sprites. Reviewers from Eurogamer.net described these as "unsettlingly ugly," noting they resemble a flash game.
A faithful recreation of the foundational beat 'em up experience.
While the in-game music is iconic, reviewers complained about an "unstoppable" and "nerve-racking" menu loop.
“Double Dragon does include some nice "extras" - configurable controls, and some arcade flyers, which should be worth an extra point, but throws the point away with quite possibly the worst (unstoppable) menu music I have ever heard in my entire life.” Eurogamer.net · 18 years ago
