Everybody loves to mention DDN but the original devs had nothing to do with that version. That was Wayforward games in the west. These are the original developers in japan making a true sequel. Give it a chance. Megaman 9 was one of the best in the series and we all now if capcom did this same shit and released an X9 nobody would complain.
Well the game wasn't bad, besides i can't think of a single game wayforward games was involved with that anyone said they hated, Contra 4 on NDS, Duck Tales remastered, Double dragon neon... Even their own games never got any bad attention, shantae always seem like their greatest game, and mighty switch force is addictive puzzle game and fun for speed runs.
To be honest, i dunno what to think, the technos japan company back in the day were the original pioneers of the 2d side scroll beat them up theme, with the Renegade and river city ransom games, fact is most of the games in that Nekketsu kouha kunio series look the same all the time, GBA river city ransom look like a 16 bit nes game, and look at the NDS and 3DS games. Nothing bad about it, i find it funny to be honest.
I do wonder why they choose specific double dragon II sprites, of the 3 games on NES, maybe they would have picked the third game as it has more developement in the series? they probaly picked 2 cause no one liked the first or 3rd game, but is called double dragon IV, Isn't super double dragon IV the game they maybe should have based it off of more than the second? Maybe it was good to use NES sprites for cost reasons, maybe it was easier to make multi platform suppot, i dunno, but a ps4 and Steam only release? If they were gonna rip nes sprites, why not make 3DS port? Or even vita, or smart phone port?
So what is super double dragon going to be considered as since this game is called double dragon 4 as i always thought of super double dragon as part 4.
Well yeah, this is a question that has me confused, i honestly have no idea fo it. Maybe it should have been based on the SNES game, maybe they can do like kingdom hearts did and call it Double dragon 4.5 Sequal to four, prequal to five
looks like dd1 or 2, i woulda chose a more dd3 look, and improved on it to make a 4
its kinda odd in the trailer we see an evolution between the titles then 4 just looks like a devolution
that being said my actual gripe is less on the look, more on the co-op, i want 4+ co-op, more games need a party vibe, sometimes there is more than just 2 players in a room at a time. as a kid there was always 3 people (me and my 2 brothers, or random assortment of friends) and our only option save for sports was Secret of Mana, and a few other titles, Double Dragon was definitely a title i wished we could play with more, especially since 3 had more than just billy and jimmy
So you want the Kung fu guy and ninja from the 3 game on nes to be part of this?
As funny as it sounds, i agree it would have been cool, maybe even have marian or some other characters from that NEO GEO Game in here too. Maybe some river city ransom characters, or if on xbox, battletoads, they can also make that for pc since it can be windows port.
