And Since I've pretty much pointed out already how most of them were pretty bad, chances are the expectations are pretty low that this will fare any better. They had made toons for Mario, Sonic, Battletoads, Legend of Zelda, and even a chunk of the Nintendo Roster in Captain N. And the Double Dragon cartoon just happened to be in the middle of what seemed to be Dic's dominance in getting practically every major video game franchise to make cartoons out of.
DOUBLE DRAGON CARTOON EPISODE 2 MOVIE
Like I've said before, Almost every successful movie or game franchise has a cartoon or 2 about it. Well, this was definitely the nail in the coffin, but I think it really started with the animated series released by our favorite group of DICheads. But why? It was such a hit franchise, what killed it? The game would see a few more sequels, and literally vanish around 1995. The main plot of the original game had Billy and Jimmy Lee working together to beat up a rogues gallery of enemies until they would eventually duel to the death to see who would win the hot pixelated ass that was Marian, Billy's girlfriend. And while not my personal favorite beat-em-up on the 8-bit console (Always hated the jump mechanics), It's easy to see why it was a massive success. It started as a hit arcade game that would later spawn a hit NES title. It's GAME OVER month.ĭouble Dragon is one of those video game franchises that one wonders just how it ceased to be so soon. Thank you, but a good cartoon is in another castle.
