- This is a capture of me and a friend playing through Super Double Dragon for the SNES. This is not an emulator. This footage was recorded directly from my Super Nintendo using an actual Super Double Dragon cartridge. I'm player one (Billy) and Drew is player two (Jimmy).
My prior playthrough of this game was recorded years ago with a crappy Dazzle capture card that made the colors come through too dark, so here's a higher-quality playthrough in 60 fps.
Back when I was a kid I was a huge fan of Double Dragon II and III on the NES. I would rent those games whenever I got the chance (the third game especially) because of the awesome two-player modes. I also owned the first game on the NES since around 1989. However, I didn't really know anything about the series on the SNES (I only got my SNES for Christmas of 1992, and I didn't become a Nintendo Power subscriber until 1993).
Some time in the early '90s I happened to spot Super Double Dragon in the rental section of my local supermarket, and my imagination started racing with how awesome the game must have been. However, I never got the chance to rent the game. That fact always disappointed me as a kid.
Several years later when I was in high school and the Nintendo 64 was already well into its life cycle, I managed to pick up Super Double Dragon for dirt cheap from Funcoland (now GameStop). After all those years, I finally got the chance to play my dream game. Unfortunately, the game wasn't quite what I expected.
I was a bit disappointed that Super Double Dragon wasn't as fast-paced as the NES Double Dragon titles, and that it didn't have as good of a level design (there is almost no platforming or traps, which I enjoyed in the NES games). The bosses also lacked any sort of introduction or separate themes, making them feel like typical enemies, and the game just used a boring fade transition to go from one area to another. However, I thought that the combat system was pretty good and that the music was just awesome.
Despite the flaws, I played through the game countless times with a high school friend and learned all of its nuances. In between our Double Dragon sessions, my friend and I would also play his copy of Contra III, which is another great two-player game.
At the time, I had this interesting sound system chair called the Intensor, which had speakers all over it that pumped the sound and bass directly into your back. My friend and I would play through Super Double Dragon and just crank that chair up on Mission 3, essentially getting a back massage from all the thud sounds. It was glorious. But after a few years the chair broke, and I couldn't find a replacement.
Even though Drew and I didn't have an Intensor chair for this playthrough, we still had fun. I hope you enjoy the new footage.
Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official SNES S-video cable at 60 frames per second. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the SNES's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.
I'm using a Super Advantage joystick and Drew is using an Asciipad turbo controller. - Hry
Epic game and soundtrack
Soundtrack, yes.
The game is a dud.
Yeah this game was decent but the ending on the other hand.....
This is probably hands down my favourite beat em up of all time. Sure, the lack of cutscenes/story is stupid, and the game is slow, but this is the perfect example of "I need to turn my brain off from thinking."
I can just play anytime and never get sick of it
Player One Great job touching that bag!!!!!!!
Yeah soundtrack is awesome!
37:30 Nice save. Jimmy nearly got hit with the knife.
Still the best Double Dragon Game of the entire Series!
One of the best. Only think I hate is the game seem to short and the ending is wack
Nice work 👍🏾
I have 3 authentic carts of this game .D
I love this game. I have it still. Best time I had was when I played with my annoying little cousin. I killed him on purpose. Knives, bombs not telling him there was a part of the bridge you'd fall through. It was hilarious. I pretended like it was accidental. My brothers and I were in tears laughing. It was a great time.
Amazing.
5:47 made me laugh at jimmy😂
20:25 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
46:18 Here comes the duke.
From the real system. Impressive.
Wow, that's a quick death for the Duke.
nice soundtrack
In Mission 6 after you threw the rock across the bridge all you had to do was stone the enemies to death.
And instead of trying jumping across the bridge, they could have did the spining kick across it
Who's here playing or watching the classics SNES in 2024? I'm God spare my life in June I'm going to be 36. So ya guys do the math
losing a life in first mission already? wow. Used to lose my first life in mission 7 but, many walkthroughs behind that
Yeah yeah we all know you are the best... smh🤦
We got a badass over here!
Sucks there is noway to play alone with Jimmy Lee. There no option to choice from. Love the game but that part sucks
Billy is player 1, you can play solo with him
@@spoiledmilkfilms4164 i ment to say Jimmy Lee. If you play alone you can't pick Jimmy
@@mikeychainsaw9760 Yeah you can. You just had to use the player 2 controller port without touching the player 1 port.
@@Blizzard-kf3qm not true I try that when I had a super Nintendo only way to play with Jimmy alone was to play on two player B and kill off Billy then just continue on with Jimmy.
@@mikeychainsaw9760 You're right; I remember now. What I did was play as Billy first and once I lost enough lives and had to continue, I just stuck the controller in the player 2 port and continued the game as Jimmy (I'd flip-flop between them until I got a game over).
