Play Double Dragon 2 Online
Punch your way through pixelated goons with stiff but satisfying controls—it’s like the arcade classic got crammed into a Game Boy, rough edges and all. That cyclone kick still feels great once you wrestle the D-pad into submission.
Double Dragon 2 on the Game Boy came out in 1991, developed by Technos Japan. It was one of the many side-scrolling brawlers you'd find on the system back then, a portable take on the arcade formula that didn't try to reinvent anything. You just picked it up when you wanted to hit things for a while.
You control either Billy or Jimmy Lee, moving screen by screen to rescue a kidnapped woman. The main objective is straightforward: fight through waves of enemies across urban and industrial settings. Signature mechanics include picking up weapons like knives and barrels to throw, and performing special moves such as the cyclone kick, which requires a specific button combination. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty can feel punishing due to limited continues and stiff controls. It feels like a condensed, sometimes frustrating, but always earnest effort to bring co-op beat 'em up action into your hands.
