If only these guys breathed fire like any self-respective overweight scrolling beat ’em up enemy would, the game would score another “point”.Īt its heart Double Dragon III is still very much a Double Dragon game, though will no NES-forced platforming sections (though a level full of archers, which is just as annoying, frankly!). Can’t find info on the European release, but since I had a copy and no way of playing imports back then, it presumably had one!

It was released in North America in November 1990 and Japan two months later. Did I not give it a fair shake, or was I bang on the money? Let’s find out…Ĭalmly ignoring the bikers jumping behind him, Billy looks both ways before crossing the road.ĭouble Dragon III was originally released in Arcades, as they all are, and while a “not at all like it” port was released on the NES like the previous game I reviewed, this Mega Drive port was a much more faithful one, by all accounts (with the exception of only being 2-player simultaneous, compared to the Arcade’s three). It’s slow, unresponsive and not very pretty to look at, and it didn’t take long for me and my friends to head straight back to SoR2. Sadly, I was wrong, as Double Dragon III is … not good, or at least not the Mega Drive port anyway.

While featuring some similarities, Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone features a different story, gameplay, enemies, and level design layouts then this version of the game.I brought Double Dragon III quite cheap at some point in my childhood, thinking it would “be like Streets of Rage”, a series I loved to death. Characters can also pick up weapons like army knives, broken bottles, and sais off the ground and use them to fight with. Billy and Jimmy can use punches, side kicks, cyclone spin kicks, mid-air somersaults, and flying jump kicks to dispatch foes, with Chin and Ranzou having equivalent maneuvers to finish off enemies also. Players can switch between these four characters as each character has their own life bar and primary weapon (Billy, Jimmy, and Chin use their bare hands while Ranzou uses a sword) and a limited supply secondary weapon (Billy and Jimmy use nunchaku, Chin uses iron claws, and Ranzou uses shurikens). Along the way they'll pick up two more allies named Chin and Ranzou. Hiruko knows the locations of the stones, but they are located all over the earth.īilly Lee (and his brother Jimmy in the two player game) will have to travel the globe in five missions stretching from the U.S.A., China, Japan, Italy, and finally to Egypt fighting bad guys in this side-scrolling beat-'em-up. A soothsayer named Hiruko has information on Marion's disappearance: She claims the kidnappers will release Marion in exchange for the three sacred stones of power.

However, one day when Billy is away, the dojo is attacked and Marion is kidnapped. Life has returned to normality for Billy Lee who is now running a dojo training students in the field of martial arts.
