Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons

Double Dragon II: Wanderer of the Dragons Cyclone Rated for XBLA
Written Friday, June 24, 2011 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

Siliconera is reporting that a German USK rating for Double Dragon II for the Xbox Live Arcade has surfaced today, promising a 'martial arts explosion' four years after the original game appeared on the Marketplace. The rating has been listed under the name Double Dragon II: Wanderer of the Dragons Cyclone, suggesting that a new version of the game could be in the offing.

Whether it'll be a version of the original arcade version with just four levels or the revamped NES version with nine stages and additional story is unknown, as for now the game remains unannounced. Publisher Barunson Creative is listed as publisher, meaning Million, the team made up of ex-Technos staff may not be involved with the game.

Double Dragon II: Wanderer of the Dragons Cyclone certainly sounds intriguing then, but we have no idea what the hell it means. As long as you can still pull off the 'cyclone spin kick' though, you can colour us happy.

I don't know what i'm going to get for saying this, but I never heard of this or the series if there is one. Looks pretty classic

This game had some hard jumping platform sections that had you jumping across spike pits onto disapearing platforms! Cant wait.

@ 3- How old are ya sir? This was a shining example of button mashing Beat-Em-Up games that soared throughout the 80's and early 90's. Double Dragon, Bad Dudes, Kung Fu, Battletoads, Ninja Gaiden. All classic 2D semi- sidescrollers that had the most bizarre pattern memorization methods ever! Gamers today have it fucking EASY! Nothing was worse than being on your last life (Back when games made you put in all that effort again and again and again b/c of an inanimate object in the game you didn't know could hurt you) and restarting. The days of true video game endurance are surely behind me.
I'd love to see if ANYONE would have the Mile High Club achievement if they had to start the game completely over after 2-3 deaths...you know what...they SHOULD do that!

This is great, but I still wish I could get my hands on the original delisted title more than anything in the gaming world.

Amazing. This is one of the games I wanted to be re-made for XBLA...this is THE BEST Double Dragon game ever created...Super Double Dragon is a close second but Double Dragon II: The Revenge is a masterpiece.

Can't wait to see how this is going to turn out. I just hope it has 2 player co-op and the original soundtrack songs.

Now I want Simpsons, Sunset Riders and the real version of TMNT Turtles in Time.

@10 you question somebodys age when your first comment was: "Ew ew ew!! I just came out my nose and I loved it! Gross"

Can we get a word limit on this bore before he replys with a huge wall of text again?

@ 15 - Firstly, only b/c you asked for it:

My first comment was, yes, me expressing my slight immaturity for a nostalgic title. Condemn me to fucking hell why don'tcha?

Secondly, I Got Squeezed said he never heard of Double Dragon. So I asked how old he was. There was nothing insulting there. You'd be surprised how many people pre-2000 don't know about certain classic titles.

Good luck on your word limit advocation. Start a petition.

@ 20 - Thanks bro. That's all I was wondering. But instead, cool kid Aaron114 is apparently under the impression he's the Nostradomus of calling out douchebaggery. And you're right, it's NOT a big deal. The hilarity of it is, if you knew the patterns of the games, you could run through them in about under an hour. If I recall correctly, with the Whistles, you could beat Super Mario 3 in under 15 minutes. It was all linear Get from Point A to Point B stuff.

Eh... personally I hated the "HD" visuals they did for the first one on XBLA. So unless this one looks a lot different I won't be interested.

The first one was the easiest 200G. All you had to do was basically finish the game. I'll welcome this one. Was always a Double Dragon fan growing up.

I hope the developer team doesn't add a modern graphic philter that made the first one on XBLA look pretty awkward. Also they could bring back the first one for a limited time when this one is released.

To anyone complaining about the enhanced graphics mode of the original XBLA version, you do know the redrawn graphics can be switched off, right?

IMO the original arcade Double Dragon is better than the arcade version of Double Dragon II. But the NES and PC-Engine versions of Double Dragon 2 were both spectacular and much better than arcade DD2.

I do own a Double Dragon II arcade machine and I can't wait to get it on XBLA, enhanced or not. :)

Bimmy and Jimmy for the win.

I loved the original but it wasn't the cyclone kick that dominated that game. It was the jumping knee that was the best!

@Everyone who mentioned Battletoads/Double Dragon and The Simpsons (hopefully you're referring to Bart's Nightmare?), send me a friend request. I need people with that kind of gumption on my friend's list. People who know.....that the greatest days of gaming were skateboarding through Springfield and destroying it as Bartzilla. You know what it's like to play a classic video game in all its nostalgic glory. You have been to the top of the mountain, my friends. You have lived....the dream.
