ロングランを続けた大ヒット作品「ダブルドラゴン」の続編。操作方法は同社「熱血硬派くにおくん」と同様に、左攻撃用と右攻撃用にそれぞれボタンが用意されている。さらにジャンプボタンもある。また、実際のプレイにあまり影響はないものの、アイテム類がいくつか増加している。今作ではキャラクターの質感や、背景のグラフィックが大きく変わり、操作感覚も前作の感じとは大分異なるものとなっている。そのことが影響したのか、日本では前作のような人気作品とはならなかったが、アメリカで大ヒットしメジャータイトル入りすることとなった。全5ステージ。
ストーリー:
ブラックウォーリアーズの報復のために、マリアンが凶弾に倒れ死んでしまった。ダブルドラゴン兄弟は再び戦いに出るのだ!!

Double Dragon II - The Revenge (c) 1988 Technos Japan Corp.
Following his defeat at the end of the original Double Dragon, Willy, the leader of the Black Warriors, retaliates against Billy and Jimmy Lee by murdering their friend, Marian, leaving the brothers with the task to avenge her death.
The sequel to Double Dragon is essentially an upgraded version of the original game, but with with a two-way attacking system similar to one previously used in Technos Japan's 1986 arcade game "Renegade". Many of the attacks and combos from the original "Double Dragon" are retained, as well as new techniques including the invincible Cyclone Kick.
The stages and weapons are redesigned versions of items previously featured in the original game. There are a few new traps such as a bulldozer in the middle of Mission 3 and all of the transition sequences between stages are now done with the character entering the next level via a lift, making it impossible to carry one weapon to the next area.

- TRIVIA -
Double Dragon II was released in December 1988. It was then licensed to Romstar for US distribution in January 1989.
The yelling sound heard when a coin is inserted comes from an enemy in the game called 'Chin Taimei' (the mission 3 boss that fights using 2 sticks).
Billy and Jimmy trade their original blue and red outfits for black and white respectively in the game. They appear in the game's ending wearing their original colors. Marian wears a yellow dress in the game and her character sprite is slightly redrawn from the original game.
Unlike the original "Double Dragon", the controller configuration for part two were changed from standard punch and kick buttons to less conventional left attack and right attack buttons.
In the same way the original "Double Dragon" paid tribute to the laserdisc game "Road Blaster", Double Dragon II features a similar homage to the laserdisc version of "Cobra Command" ("Thunder Storm" in Japan), which was Yoshihisa Kishimoto's debut game. The helicopter inside the garage at the beginning of the game is the same helicopter from Cobra Command.
Double Dragon II originally began development as a chip upgrade of the first game. Originally only the stages were going to be changed, but there was an incentive to add more features to the game, such as new attacks and enemy characters, which required the game to be developed on a new hardware.
Meldac / Nippon Crown released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Double Dragon II The Revenge - MECG-28001) on 10/03/1990.
