Video: Double Dragon Gaiden Unlockable Characters Revealed In Exclusive New Trailer

I love how no matter what version of Marian there is, she is no longer taking any crap. Still prefer RCG Marian though.

Some characters like Marian, Abobo, etc looks completely different than the Fighting games style game of Double Dragon that I have remembered long time ago.

Where's Bimmy

Wow, that's s decent amount of characters! I'm really happy to see so many great beat'em up available on Switch. I just can't get enough of them.

After playing as the wonderfully musclebound Marian in River City Girls 2, this version feels like a bit of a downgrade, or at the very least a step back.

If the gameplay is good though, I could look past it. Looking forward to reviews.

I feel like the bit with Abobo being a "loyal and protective family man" is a reference to the old fan game "Abobo's Big Adventure," where he fought his way through video game land to rescue his son, Aboboy. Gosh, that game was gruesome and dark and funny and inappropriate for anyone. XD

I'm optimistic about this one!

@CharlieGirl I want this game to be tight. I'm not in love with the art style but the moves and gameplay do look fun. I hope this one gets an in depth review - better yet a demo would be really nice on this one.

It's funny how Matin was just a name up until now and they found a way to incorporate it.

Looks cool. Reminds me of Mighty Final Fight.

@N00BiSH Bimmy will be Day 1 DLC

Ah same developer as Streets of Red, I thought the art style looked familiar. I enjoyed that game quite a bit, so this should be fun too.

The normal art is good but the I don't like the gameplay pixel art, it really goofy and cartoony which isn't a good match for double dragon.

Street of rage 4 style is better I think, although double dragon advance pixel art is great too, update it to 4K and I'm sure the pixel art will be amazing on big tv

Why are all the playable villains like “No, no, we’re actually like Saintly good! For the Orphans/Family!” It feels really odd. I suppose the game is leaning into Goofy.
Want to know what kind of graphics I’d like to see a beat-em-up use? HD-2D style. Why is it almost entirely used for RPGs? You could apply it to Any kind of game nearly.

There are many characters you can play with.

Never heard of these devs so I’ll wait for reviews before taking a look. There’s so many bad modern DD sequels. It’s like they license the franchise out for peanuts.

This is a strong pass for me.

"(and dumbest)"

Rude.

I like that Billy is the blonde this time while Jimmy is the black hair.

I forgot we were getting a new double dragon

We get to play as Linda and Abobo? Lol at him being the dumbest man in New York city. Bet no one says that to his face.

Would prefer a different take on the style and tone

Double Dragon villains turned good? Pretty cool you can play as Abobo.

This looks pretty cool and I think some of the roguelike elements--while not exactly true to the retro era it hails from--will help set it apart from some of the other (excellent) bmups on the Switch. The visual style isn't my favorite but I can live with it, and I like the approach of making Marian a weapons expert.

Also playable Abobo.

Not too keen on the retconning of trademark baddies into good guys. I was very much looking forward to pummeling some Abobos. Still, the gameplay looks great and FAST PACED as brawlers should be. Atleast these developers understood that much. Now give us a new COMBATRIBES!!!

so if Marian isn't captured, what is everyone fighting for?

also, yea, I don't get why they made so many of the villains into... heroes? is that what's happening?

This looks a downgrade even compared to original arcade game, yes with much higher resolution. Dont like the art. Wish you could play as "Green man" (main boss second level of the game)

Double Dragon 4 already lets you play the main game using any enemy character. Many are superficial or limited inclusions, so looking forward to DDG giving them a complete move list.

@bonjong23 that's actually exactly why DD has so many terrible pieces of entertainment. All of the Matt Mcmuscles coverage is great and gets in depth about it.
