Double Dragon (Neo Geo CD vs PlayStation) Gameplay Comparison

Important Notes: In a particular fight of the video, there is a strange sound bug, which is due to version 1.1 of Double Dragon for Neo Geo CD (there are also versions 1.0 and 1.2, but the version I have is 1.1), and this bug occurs randomly... therefore, it's not an emulator error, as both versions (Neo Geo CD and PlayStation 1) are being run through their Real Hardware (American Fat PS1 and Brazilian Neo Geo CD) using CDs, which means it's also not an Optical Disc Emulator (ODE) error, since they are being run through the way they were designed to work. And yes, the loading in this game (and also in others) is shorter on Neo Geo CD compared to PlayStation 1 as you can see in the video. Both versions are on the same difficulty level as well... the defeats shown in the video are part of the comparison, as it demonstrates how the CPU intelligence behaves on the 2 hardware systems regarding difficulty progression, etc., after all, we know that when you lose the "credit/coin," there is a decrease in difficulty, so it's essential to show at least the first defeat. It's clearly visible in the video the difference in difficulty between the 2 versions, and among numerous other differences. These and other differences I leave for you to discover, and if you can, please leave a like on the video, as this video took a lot of effort, this game is very difficult (even though I played on EASY mode, which is equivalent to Arcade Level 3). Now, my opinion about this game is that for me, it's the best game in the Double Dragon franchise, but I might be biased to say that... since I enjoy fighting games, but for many, this Neo Geo game is simply bad and one of the worst Double Dragon games, something I don't understand... And I also like the movie, considering that this game is based on the movie which is based on the game... however, I confess that I knew this game before watching the movie, perhaps that explains why my perception of this game is so different from most people's. For me, it's simply one of the best Neo Geo games.

It's interesting that the load times on Neo Geo CD are much better after character select.

PlayStation always takes care of game openings 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

While both of these are pretty close, I would give the win to the Neo Geo CD overall on this one. The load times are faster, the characters are slightly larger, the graphics generally look a little sharper and less smoothed-over, and I like the fact that the art style throughout feels more consistent rather than mixing anime art, Western art, and live action movie scenes all in one weird stew like PS1 did.

This game is actually quite awesome. I play it quite a bit on a hacked Neo Geo Mini.

Using clips from the Double Dragon film on both version is one way to showcase how cool your game was. Also the bad guy is portrayed by Robert Patrick. Know more famously for being the T-1000 in Terminator 2 Judgement Day.

Neo geo cd,o terror das locadoras.lembro quando joguei a primeira e única vez o neo geo cd,paguei 30 minutos,15 de jogo e 15 de loading.

Isso é nostalgia pura. Jogo com meu irmão até hoje.

Neo Geo has the extra frames of animation in each animation it's obvious who won here.

If this game were released for the Saturn, it would be kick ass!

Nossa que video maravilhoso, suas comparacoes sao otimas. Otimo jogo, a versao neo cd vence,.mas a.conversao do ps1 é digna . Sucesso e parabens....uma pergunta voce é BR?

Gameplay graphical difference: The PS1 is zoomed out a little. Characters slightly smaller. The GEO has darker blacks, the ps1 got faded a bit in the transfer. "Very Slight."

It'll never not be weird to me that Technos themselves looked at the weirdness that was the live action Double Dragon movie and said "Yeah! Lets make a 1v1 fighting game based on it!" I mean it's not a bad game. It just didn't do anything for me. That said I do like the character designs.

Holy loading Batman!

Port do Psone é ok, mas o NeoGeo era superior em quase tudo.

Neogeo CD wins ! But Neogeo CDZ wins, flawless victory, fatality ! ✌️✌️✌️

What? Did I just see the neo CD load a good while just for a 5 second fmv?

The PS1 was far more powerful than the Neo Geo. The problem was it lacked enough Ram to hold all the animation at once.

Please make a comparison for Resident Evil 2 classic (maybe with seamless hd project) vs Resident Evil 2 with fixed camera mod.

It seems like the cliffs and water in stage on the plane scrolls at a lower framerate on Playstation, there's no vegetation either.
