  Sega Roms Information: Double Dragon
Double Dragon 3 was not as popular as the previous two titles partly because of this feature, although it was only included in the US and Worldwide versions of the game.
Double Dragon Advance was a remake of the original Arcade version of Double Dragon which featured new stages, techniques, weapons and enemy characters (most of them derived from the subsequent) in addition to those found in the original game.
Double Dragon V was critically panned by both, critics and Double Dragon fans for its poor presentation (including their out-of-character potrayal of the Lee brothers) and completely derative gameplay.

Double Dragon was a huge success due to the many game-play innovations it brought to the genre (see TRIVIA for details), but it demonstrates its final moment of inspired genius at the very end of the game.
Double Dragon was designed and written by just three people, all of whom, prior to joining Technos, were with Data East and had worked on another arcade fighting legend, 1984's 'Karate Champ'.
Double Dragon's hugely innovative game-play and superb graphics proved to be too ambitious for the host Technos hardware and the game was plagued with the now notorious 'slowdown', that occurred whenever a large number of fighters appeared on-screen.

 Double Dragon EX for Mobile Review - Mobile Double Dragon EX Review
Double Dragon EX marks the return of the beloved beat-'em-up franchise to mobile phones.
Double Dragon EX adopts a somewhat different tack by mixing levels, enemies, bosses, and fighting techniques from several of the series' games (the main sources seem to be the Double Dragon arcade game, Double Dragon 2 for the NES, and Super Double Dragon for the SNES).
Nevertheless, Double Dragon EX is still a lot of fun to play, thanks in part to the effort the developer put in transferring the arcade game's graphics and sound to mobile.

"Return of Double Dragon" varies a little from the US version titled "Super Double Dragon," mixing around the music and adding a bit to the final stage.
