This side-scrolling brawler demands precise timing to defeat pattern-based enemies across challenging stages.

Double Dragon II: The Revenge was originally released in arcades in 1988. The NES version was released in North America in January 1990, with the Japanese Famicom version following later in 1990. The legacy year 1989 is incorrect for the NES platform.

About Double Dragon II: The Revenge

Double Dragon II: The Revenge is a sequel where players control the brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee. Their objective is to confront the Shadow Warriors, a group responsible for an assault on Marian.

The game introduces several new elements compared to its predecessor. These include additional stages, with the NES iteration featuring platforming segments, and a set of fresh combat techniques. New boss encounters and narrative cutscenes are also present.

Completing the game on its more challenging difficulty settings results in a different conclusion, providing an incentive for skilled players.
