It is definitely worth it for the co-op alone. My final consensus would be this: Get both! If you have a Sega Master System, I would still recommend having the game. Don’t get me wrong, I am nowhere near a Double Dragon master on the NES, but at least when I screw up it’s my own fault, not the game’s. This alone ruins the whole experience for me. You will throw punches and kicks that will seem to hit when they feel like it. You will experience some extreme flicker on the screen and the hit detection at times just seems non existent. Double Dragon just isn’t one of those games that does it justice. Let me be clear, I LOVE the Sega Master System. The Master System version lets you beat baddies with your best pal.įor me, this will be the only thing drawing me to the Master System version.
It’s a hard moment for anyone who has to realize that Double Dragon on the NES does not have 2 player co-op. The biggest advantage the Master System has over the NES with Double Dragon is the 2 player co-op. Personally, I enjoy the levels of the NES version. Whether you like that more or not is a preference thing. The Master System version follows the arcade much more closely than the NES version. No doubt the NES can kill it with detail when they really want to. Seems like a clear Master System advantage, right? Check out stage two. Many areas were left bland and almost colorless.
As I kept playing, I noticed the laziness in the backgrounds at a lot of places. The choice of making jump a simultaneous A + B button press was unavoidable but I often can’t get the timing down right. Being on the NES, the developers had no choice but to somehow map 3 actions (left attack, right attack, and jump) onto 2 buttons. The biggest complaint is, sadly, the controls. At times, the Master System graphics seem to blow the NES away. For its greatness, Double Dragon 2 does manage to be an unfairly punishing title at times. The colors pop and the backgrounds are more detailed in the Master System version when they want to be.
The sprites on the Master System were definitely more improved and closer to the arcade version. I mean, it’s even my ringtone. The Master System has sweet music, too, but I have to give this round to NES. I was met with a pretty sweet title screen. A pretty sweet looking title screen. Maybe I’m a bit nostalgic, but the music did not draw me in. Recently I picked up a copy of Double Dragon for the Sega Master System and imagine how excited I was to give this a try! I took this back to my beautiful, black 8-Bit Sega machine and powered it on.
