TriviaAccording to the manual, the game was widely released in the United States and Canada, but only in limited quantities in Europe.PThe NESFamicom version of Double Dragon II, which was developed by Technos Japan Corp and published in North America by Acclaim, is a totally different game than the Arcade version. The game basic premise, gameplay, visual, audio and characters from the 8bit version are very similar to the arcade game, but the layout is completely different. There are over nine different missions some which are inspired loosely by the arcade game filled with several obstacles like pitfalls, converyor belts, helicopter gunfire and teleport platforms to name a few. There are a few new moves and weapons like hyper uppercuts, jumping knee pads and incediary bombs as well as new enemies labelled Right Arms and Ninjas. There are also story scenes at the beggining of each mission with text explaining the latest storyline developments. The game has an additional endboss not see in the the Arcade version plus a much happier ending.PIn Japan, Palsoft made a Mega Drive Genesis port of Double Dragon II based on the Arcade game that was not very good, while Naxat Soft made their own PC Engine version using the NES game as a basis.Legacy
