Item Description

Double Dragon V throws out the side-scrolling brawl entirely. Arriving in the thick of the Street Fighter II boom, Tradewest's 1994 fighter turns Billy and Jimmy Lee's world into a one-on-one tournament and takes most of its cast straight from the Double Dragon animated series that was airing at the time. That makes it a wonderfully strange time capsule: the Dragon Dojo's noble Billy, his reformed twin Jimmy, and a rogues' gallery of Shadow Warriors who look like they wandered in from the toy aisle.

The roster is the draw. Jawbreaker is a pink-skinned mutant who bites, Icepick a crystal-bodied cyborg with ice powers, and Bones a rock-and-roll skeleton with a laser rifle, while Countdown, Sickle, Trigger Happy, Blade and Sekka fill out the field. Dominique and the scythe-wielding Shadow Master wait at the end, and both can be unlocked as playable fighters with a code. Each character has several special moves, and the game answers the era's appetite for finishers with its own Overkills, unique defeat animations triggered by the right final blow.

There is more to do than climb the arcade ladder. Quest mode strings together story-based fights and lets you adjust your fighter's attributes, playing either as a Lee brother out to stop the Shadow Master from releasing a plague or as a Shadow Warrior angling to become his new second-in-command. Vs. Battle handles head-to-head play, Watch mode lets two computer fighters go at it, and the Dossiers lay out every character's profile. The Genesis version works on a standard three-button pad by toggling punches and kicks with Start, but it was clearly made with the six-button controller in mind.

Critics at the time saw it as a competent but unremarkable Street Fighter II follower, and GamePro was tougher on this Genesis edition than on the SNES one. Its appeal today is the cartoon tie-in itself: a 16-bit fighter built around a show plenty of '90s kids still remember, and a curious one-on-one chapter in a series better known for walking left to right.
