The level design is so much more diverse and interesting β not that the original was boring mind you, but in the sequel each stage changes things up a bit at every turn.

The game design of Double Dragon II is one of the biggest reasons why this sequel feels so much different and, in many ways, better than the classic debut. Here and now, the game for the most part performs and responds just fine on Xbox One, although some of the sprite and pixel flickering could have been cleaned up a bit more. The music was just as strong too, featuring some catchy chiptunes which were also iconic in their own right. It showed that the NES still had some ways to go before fully stepping aside for 16-bit consoles.

The original NES version of Double Dragon II: The Revenge saw a substantial graphical improvement over its predecessor, with more detailed sprites and a richer colour density than the original. Itβs not a big deal considering the amount of mature games we have seen today, but for a 1989 video game release this was pretty cool and edgy material for the kids. And speaking of death, Double Dragon II: The Revenge decided to take the tired trope to an edgier level by having the damsel murdered in the opening sequence of the game, with the brothers Billy and Jimmy now out for bloodthirsty revenge, more than willing to go beyond than just giving their foes an arse kicking. The original Double Dragon followed a pretty stock standard trope of rescuing the kidnapped damsel from the bad guys, which even during the β80s was a plot device beaten to death. Still, Double Dragon II on NES showed that the 8-bit console still had some untapped potential as it proved to be a substantial improvement over the 1988 Double Dragon release, especially from a technical and graphical standpoint.

Considering how during the time gaming had just started transitioning into the 16-bit era with the likes of Mega Drive and PC Engine (the Super NES was still some way away), this was a rather late bloomer for the still popular but ageing 8-bit system.

Originally starting out as an expansion pack to the original hit arcade game, the game would quickly evolve into the bigger sequel Double Dragon II: The Revenge in 1988 before being ported to the NES a fair while later in 1989.
