About this product

Product Information

Sit back, relax, and enjoy hours of classic gameplay wherever you go. Double Dragon for Nintendo Game Boy is a portable version of an arcade and NES classic. Enjoy lots of sideways-scrolling action and fight enemies as you complete your mission. Use weapons and martial arts techniques to win your battles. In Double Dragon for Nintendo Game Boy, you play as Billy Lee, a martial arts warrior who fights through the city streets with his twin brother, Jimmy. When Billy’s girlfriend, Marian, is kidnapped by a street gang called the Black Warriors, the two martial arts warriors team up to save her. Throughout the game, you take Billy into battle with gang members and rival martial arts warriors as he and Jimmy search for Marian. Double Dragon is an action adventure game that features classic gameplay elements, such as sideways facing characters and four-directional movement. Most of the gameplay features beat ’em up action, but you can use knives and baseball bats in some battles. You obtain most of your weapons through winning fights with enemies. As you win fights, you advance through the game. You have three lives in total, but you can win more each time you collect 20,000 points. The gameplay is challenging enough that most gamers do not make it to the final stages in a couple of hours. The levels get progressively more challenging as you progress towards the final level, and the final level itself is a difficult and enjoyable fight. The controls are easy to use, so you can dive straight into playing this fun and exciting game. Double Dragon for Nintendo Game Boy features a single-player mode and multiplayer mode. In single-player mode, you play as Billy and work your way through the game alone. You can use a Game Link cable to connect two Game Boy consoles and play the game in multiplayer mode. Multiplayer mode lets you enter tournament battles with your friends. Players control Jimmy and Billy, who fight enemies such as Abobo. Double Dragon was first released as an arcade game in Japan in 1987. Its publisher, Technos Japan, released a version for NES games systems following the success of the arcade version. There are also versions and sequels available for other games systems such as Atari 7800 Commodore 64, Super NES, Master System, Amiga, Sega Genesis, and Game Gear. A remake appeared in 2003 for the Gameboy Advance called Double Dragon Advance. Several other remakes have appeared for modern platforms, such as iOS and PlayStation 3. This product is compatible with Nintendo Game Boy handheld games consoles. The Game Boy version of the game was released in 1990 in Japan and North America. It features similar gameplay elements to the NES version, but unlike the NES game, it features black and white graphics. This game does not have an official rating, but it is appropriate for a variety of age groups. The Double Dragon for Game Boy video game offers excellent graphics for a Game Boy title. Although it lacks the color of the NES version, the visuals are detailed. The soundtrack and sound effects hold lots of vintage Game Boy charm.

  • Good, but could've been the greatest Game Boy beat'em up with a few tweaks

    I really enjoyed playing Double Dragon for Game Boy. I have the first two games on the NES and I wondered what the Game Boy versions were like. This game is surprisingly close to its NES big brother. The graphics were detailed and looked spectacular. Some of the sprites in my opinion looked better here than on the NES version. The gameplay feels pretty nice and it's easy to pick up and play. The only three major issues I have with this game are that there are no continues, the platforming sections where you have to press the A+B buttons to jump are frustrating, and the bosses are super cheap! If you can handle these issues, this is a nice conversion of Double Dragon on the go.

  • Very, Very Good!

    The Double Dragon and Mickey Mouse game are great! The Draemon game has too much Japanese for me to figure out.
