Check out the new Double Dragon game. Ultimate Double Dragon. It maybe a fan game, but one of the original creator who use to work for Technos and work on Double Dragon and Kunio Kun series Koji Ogata is assisting the project. They are going back to original 16bit style (SNES/Super Famicom) version. there will be two type of music style. 16bit or 80's music, 4 characters to choose including OG Dragon style, sub-bosses that we remember and many more.

DCM Neon rocked, and it made me hope Wayforward would do Double Dragon IV. Alas, that didn't happen (I'm sure Wayforward would have made changes that would have made IV more palatable to those who wanted a game that made use of the modern hardware more.)

I always loved the Double Dragon theme song. I have very specific favorite versions of it. But no matter what version I hear, wonderful childhood memories come flooding back to me. Its one of my favorite theme songs right next to the Street Fighter II theme and many others.

The Double Dragon II theme would've been a great fit for one of the later Death Wish movies

DD2 has a special place in my heart lol

I remember the first time making it to the very end, feeling exhausted like I had to stop playing, then the song revitalized me and got me through.

That DD2 theme just hits different. And then the Arranged version is just straight 🔥👌🏾🔥 in fact, the whole Arranged album is pretty dope.

It's less of a crossover and more of a homage. Nekketsu Renegade Kunio-kun (americanized as Renegade) was not only the first Kunio-kun game, but also ushered the golden age of Beat'em Ups, followed by the likes of Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Final Fight... And Double Dragon! Double Dragon's engine is based on Nekketsu Renegade Kunio-Kun, and the driving motive for Billy and Jimmy mirrors the plot of River City Ransom: the girlfriend of one of the two has been kidnapped and they set out to rescue her and take out the bad guys on the way.

Hattori Ryuuichi and Hattori Ryuuji (Ryuuichi and Ryuuji roughly translates into Dragon 1st and Dragon 2nd), localized as Randy and Andy, are the Dragon Twins that pops in River City Random and Rival Showdown. And their theme is Double Dragon. And when Ryuuichi and Ryuuji's health drops enough in Rival Showdown they embody Billy and Jimmy, gaining an upgrade to their moveset and becoming more fearsome. They are basically the Gate Guards for the stairs leading to the fight against Yamada (Slick/Simon) on the school's roof.

My all time favorite will always be the Super Double Dragon version. As a kid I rocked out to this one a lot. Neon is probably second with the third one right behind. Won’t lie, for years I thought they didn’t out it in the second one cuz the start of it was so awful I always pressed start. Not until I was an adult I let it play through and realized it was the theme, it is only ok though

Awesome post, I was so sad when this theme wasn't in "Super DD (usa)" but it was fixed in "RoDD (japan)" even though I now own Return of Double Dragon it doesn't fix my childhood trauma 😂

If you haven't, check out the NESekimos cover of the theme 🤘

Double Dragon II (GB) sounds like a mashup between the main theme and one from Ninja Gaiden (curiously it has a Ninja in the cover)

I also liked Virt’s take on it

The PC Engine theme is from the end sequence. A more electronic version is played when Jimmy and Billy do their "dynamic entry" through the walls to confront the Shadow Warriors. Recently, for the "River City Girls 2" soundtrack, Megan McDuffee did a variation of the Double Dragon theme called "Marian". The context: While on adventures, Marian took the time while captured to work out and build herself up. One day, she fought back and found she could kick butt as fiercely as Billy and Jimmy. (Marian is a shopkeeper in "River City Girls" while Billy and Jimmy run dojos that Misako and Kyoko could gain better attacks at) When doing a supernatural investigation in some woods, Marian gets ambushed by a witch and hit with a mind-control spell. She's used to fight the two, and Megan's theme is used. Here it is: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y2ehpKmYqcTfg84.html

If anything it's the other way around: Nekketsu Renegade Kunio-Kun is the original and Double Dragon is a "rip-off", except both were made by TECHNOS, so it's not a rip-off but rather re-using the engine for a new IP... While Kunio-Kun improved upon the engine and added some RPG elements, leading into River City Ransom. Then they felt the need to shout out Double Dragon in RCR by adding the Hattori Twins Ryuuichi and Ryuuji (Dragon 1 and Dragon 2), which were localized as Dragon Twins Randy and Andy. In Rival Showdown it takes the reference a step further by making them embody Billy and Jimmy when their health drops low enough, adding deadlier moves and making them stronger.
