After the success of the original Double Dragon in arcades and on the NES, Technos Japan Corp. decided to follow it up with a sequel: Double Dragon II: The Revenge, released for the arcades in 1988 (only a year after the first entry). The Black Warriors, humiliated by their defeat at the hands of the Lee brothers, retaliate by murdering Marian. With their beloved now gone, Billy and Jimmy set off to defeat the Black Warriors, this time for good.The game itself was an upgraded version of the original. The control scheme was changed (it replaced the original's punch/kick setup with direction-based attack buttons), the graphics were redrawn (backgrounds were entirely new and almost every returning character had a new design), and each stage now has a new end-boss. The difficulty was also increased significantly, with health refills between stages being less generous and the elbow attack from the first game getting completely nerfed. The game was a modest success in the arcades, but didn't have the same longevity as its predecessor due to its Mission-Pack Sequel nature.The NES version, released in the end of 1989 and published by Acclaim in the West, was much like its NES predecessor: more of an adaptation of its arcade counterpart than a direct port. The basic premise remained the same, but this time the story was told through comic book-esque interludes between stages. Technos had more experience with the NES hardware this time around—a result of working on several titles since the original Double Dragon, including the cult classic River City Ransom—so it was able to retain co-op multiplayer and toss in the option to disable "friendly fire" damage. The level designs were much more elaborate than the arcade version (with nine missions instead of the arcade's four), and a new final boss replaced Machine Gun Willy as the main antagonist.Two other console versions of Double Dragon II were also made, but were released only in Japan: a Mega Drive version (closer to the arcade game, but with severely downgraded visuals and smaller character sprites) and a PC Engine Super CD-ROM2 version (closer to the NES game but with improved visuals, a new soundtrack, and anime-style cutscenes). There was also a full-on 3D "remake" for the Xbox 360, titled Double Dragon II: Wanders of the Dragons, by Korean developer Baruson Creative—which was universally panned by critics for its poor gameplay and cheap visuals. (This remake also came out shortly after the better-received Double Dragon Neon, which didn't help matters.) An unrelated Game Boy sequel was released in 1991; simply titled Double Dragon II, it was actually a Kunio-kun game with the graphics and music changed for the Western release. | |

Mission-Pack Sequel | |
| Double Dragon II (Video Game) / int_1a2dc1fd | comment |
Mission-Pack Sequel: The arcade version is an improved version of the first game, but with a different attack system, new graphics and moves for most of the returning enemies, and new bosses for each stage. Technos also fine-tuned the difficulty to prevent players from completing it with just the elbow strike. | |

Easy-Mode Mockery: The NES version only allows the entire game to be played on the "Supreme Master" setting ("Practice" only lasts the first three stages and "Warrior" ends just before the final battle). The PC Engine version allows all nine stages to be played on any difficulty, but changes the ending based on which difficulty level is chosen. | |

Adapted Out: Machine Gun Willy is nowhere to be seen in the NES version, despite being the one who guns down Marian in the arcade game (the new opening implies she got stabbed by a ninja, as the actual deed is never shown). However, he makes an unannounced appearance (in the sense that he is not listed in the manual) in the PC Engine version. Likewise, the Ninjas and Right-Hand Men never appear in the PC Engine version, even though they have full sprite sets that are never used. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Double Dragon II (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: All the cutscenes in the NES show only Billy Lee, regardless of whether a second player is present. The only exception to this is the cutscene prior to the final boss fight: depending who is playing, it shows either Billy, Jimmy, or both Lee brothers. The PC Engine version averts this by showing both brothers regardless of how many players are playing. | |

Evil Laugh | |
| Double Dragon II (Video Game) / int_68068108 | comment |
Evil Laugh: When Burnov makes his entry at the end of the first stage, he utters one of these. He also does it if he manages to grab Billy or Jimmy, and if you're fighting 2 of them at once, the one that can revive itself after dying will utter the same evil laugh when he does so. The Lee brother clone(s) do this when they appear. They also do it when they possess Billy or Jimmy, and they do it again when they are defeated. | |

Covers Always Lie: The flyer art shows one of the Lee brothers grabbing Marian around his arm, protecting her from danger, even though she dies as soon as the player inserts the first credit and starts the game. Unlike the NES version, there's no sudden happy ending where she is miraculously brought back to life. | |

Spared by the Adaptation: Sort-of.

Difficulty by Region | |
| Double Dragon II (Video Game) / int_83edb5ab | comment |
Difficulty by Region: The Famicom version allows the entire game to be played at any difficulty level, while the NES version restricts the game's length depending on the setting (see Easy Mode Mockery below). The NES version also requires the player to input a cheat codes after getting a Game Over in order to continue, whereas the Famicom version had no such requirement. There are other specific differences between the two versions, too: traps are much easier in the Famicom version's normal difficult than in the NES version's equivalent (especially the disappearing platforms in Mission 6), but enemies have more health on the Famicom version's hardest setting. | |

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: After defeating Machine Gun Willy, creepy music starts playing, and the player's purple Evil Twin rises out of his shadow and attacks him.

| Double Dragon II (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: The game uses a direction-based attack system where one button attacks to the left and the other to the right, which Technos previously employed with Renegade. Players more accustomed to the original game might take some time getting used to this, especially since one button does the standard punch combo and the other does a back kick (depending on the direction the player character is facing). | |

Punch-Kick Layout | |
| Double Dragon II (Video Game) / int_b2603859 | comment |
Punch-Kick Layout: Played With; the previous game established the series' punch and kick buttons. This game mixes up the formula by going with a directionally-sensitive punch & kick scheme, where you either punch in front or throw out a rear kick depending on which way Billy or Jimmy is facing. This takes some getting used to, especially if you're fresh off any other games in the series, but once you have it down it becomes a bit easier to protect your flank from sneak attacks. | |

Ninja: Two of them serve as bosses, while the rest are elite mooks that appear prior to the boss fight of Mission 8. | |

Story Reset | |
| Double Dragon II (Video Game) / int_c4e0fcff | comment |
Story Reset: The Famicom/NES version conveniently ignores the fact that Jimmy was the antagonist in the first game on the console. The manual for the Japanese version goes as far as to suggest that both Lee brothers fought the Black Warriors together, while the English version just ignores the first game altogether. This was not much of an issue in the PC Engine version, since the first game was never available on that platform. | |

Digital Bikini: The cover artwork for the NES version is a censored version of the original arcade flyer art. Marian's thigh-revealing skirt was lengthened and her flesh-colored tank top was recolored red. | |

Just for the Heli of It: Unlike the arcade version, the helicopters are not just there for scenery. In Mission 2, there are two choppers: the first will fly by and attack the Lee brothers by firing its gun at them, then drop off a batch of mooks. The second is a getaway chopper where the entirety of Mission 3 takes place. | |

Canon Immigrant: If the manuals for the console versions are to be believed, the double stick fighter who serves as the Mission 3 boss is none other than Chin Taimei, the shirtless Chinese fighter from the first NES game. | |
