Play the Japanese release of Double Dragon II: The Revenge, the legendary 1990 NES beat ’em up where Billy and Jimmy Lee set out to avenge Marion’s death. This iconic sequel refines the arcade experience with a distinctive directional combat system, challenging platforming sections across nine missions, and the satisfying inclusion of cooperative two-player action.
How to Play
Fight your way through the Shadow Warriors gang. The NES defaults for this game map the D-pad to the arrow keys, with A and B mapped to X and Z, and Start/Select mapped to Enter/Shift. Note the directional combat: one attack button always strikes the direction you are facing, while the other strikes behind you, allowing you to easily handle enemies on both sides.
Tips
- Master the Special Moves: The Cyclone Spin Kick and Hyper Uppercut deal massive damage and have invincibility frames. Execute them by attacking at the apex of a jump or immediately upon landing.
- Watch Your Step: Later missions, particularly the helicopter and factory stages, have instant-death pits. Prioritize survival and careful jumps over reckless fighting in these areas.
