Its not perfect, it feels a little blurry and wavy at times, but that’s the Game Boy hardware for you. The art isn’t the only thing that stays close to the NES version, but its the fantastic music as well. There’s nothing ground breaking here, but it does still feel fresh and like a real transition between the first and second Double Dragons for the NES. The stages (missions) feel quicker even if some are extended if not new just for this port. This portable version loosely follows the NES version and sticks to the great NES art style.

For those that don’t know, Double Dragon is a classic brawling beat’em up that has you playing as Billy Lee fighting against waves of gang members. Two years after Double Dragon was ported from the arcade to the NES, it came to the Game Boy.
