What is the connection between ROTD and DOUBLE DRAGON? The two games were developed by completely different companies weren't they? Are any of the characters remotely related?
Take a look at my review I wrote about RotD, it contains additional info about the relation between the different Double Dragon games.tsukaesugi:

I had a feeling you might answer my question, danke Takumaji.Takumaji:

I've only played the (ahem) rom, and even then it was only for a few minutes before I gave up.Lord Wolfgang Krauser:
I actually like the original DD better, it has this classic feel and was one of the earlier awkward fighters. It gave a few new things a try. I actually liked the original. I couldnt stand ROTD. I am weird like that.
Here's a section from the interview I posted:cgun:
It feels like the licence went to waste. You couldn´t even recognize Jimmy, Billy or Abobo. Just by the names.
Yeah, well, the Neo DD seemed to be based on the cheesy movie with Robert Patrick as "Koga Shuko" and Alyssa Milano as Marian. There are basically three Marians:tsukaesugi:
I went back and played the Neo DOUBLE DRAGON last night. I couldn't even recognize Billy and Jimmy. They looked like two completely different characters.
I guess that explains why their character designs in ROTD were so plain. All the other characters seem so funky-looking, but Billy and Jimmy just seem to be the two standard 'street-fighting dude' types.
BTW, in DOUBLE DRAGON, isn't one of the characters the girl who you had to rescue from the bad guys in the original sidescroller?
I though that it was pretty funny that in the Neo DD you're squaring off against her in combat...
Oh, there's my girlfriend. I guess I'd better go beat the crap out of her.
Same thing goes with Yuri in AoF2, actually! winktsukaesugi:
