The Double Dragon trademark was changed from Technos Japan to Arc System Works.Because the Tradewest logo was removed, the Rare logo appears and disappears sooner.All mentions of Tradewest were removed, including the logo, and the text saying that the game was licensed to Tradewest by Rare Coin-It.Once the player chooses his/her region, the original intro appears, but there are various changes in the copyright info to reflect the licensing changes.

Any music that normally contains drums lacks them on this screen. If the player waits on this screen before making a selection, various songs are cycled through this screen.When booting up the game, a new screen appears with an option to select between regions ( NORTH AMERICA NTSC or EUROPE PAL).I think this is unprecedented in Double Dragon history as the Lee brothers here have no qualms about massacring a whole load of Lindas.Dump the ROM so that screenshots can be provided. In fact, I think those Lindas that remained in the spaceship likely also perished when said ship crashed back to earth. If their bodies don't disappear, the Lindas who got knocked unconscious would be vacuumed out into space anyway.

I think being chivalrous here would be an exercise in futility. In this area, you get to fight a wave of Lindas that you can basically throw into outer space. I like how different Lindas have their own unique boob tattoo (default skin: Heart, Red recolour: Star, etc.) Also, love how her defeat cries just shatter her exterior image as a dominatrix.īut for me, the most memorable part of the game has the be the spaceship stages in particular, the airlock area ( Link). It's the small things that really make this version of Linda for me. Say what you will about the gameplay, but you can't deny that the game brought new life to a classic female baddie.

I think this is an appropriate tribute considering that this year would mark the 10th anniversary of the release of Double Dragon Neon (anyone else feeling old?).
