Topic	Double Dragon is probably the most important franchise to be forgotten

I did really like DD1, and a lot of people remember it and others in the series fondly. And sure, while it wasn't technically the first, it did a lot to define the genre. Thing is, the genre peaked in the 90's and was pretty much dead for the two or so decades after that, unless you count Dynasty Warriors, I guess. We're just now seeing a small resurgence this decade. You could argue it's an ancestor to the fighting genre, but that's just about the only way you could call it influential today. Still, I always had a good time with it on NES. I actually thought the NES version was better than the arcade version, which almost never happens. Not just dynasty warriors... DMC, God of War have similarities. Then there are games like "The Bouncer" "Odin Sphere" and "Castle Crashers" there was streets of rage 4 gun star heros on GBA double dragon on GBA God Hand Final Fight (PS2) River City Girls River City Ransom EX (GBA) ive always felt like there were tons of beat em ups. GBA and PS2 have a lot. --- April 15, 2024: The Day the Internet Died <cite>Robot2600 posted [p:980264819] in Double Dra...
