Hack description

This is a hack of Double Dragon for the NES. What I have been trying to do was make the NES version a bit more authentic to the Arcade original. I changed a few graphics that I felt didn't really fit in or changed them to look like something from the original. I also changed palettes to look like the original. Probably the biggest palette change you will notice is the final level. It is white by default, but the arcade was goldish. So I changed the whole level to be that palette.

For a similarly themed hack, see the Double Dragon GENESIS - Arcade Fix

Nice touches, but still left not full!ultimaweapon2021-09-02Version 1.1

The pallet changes are indeed a welcomed touch to this classic. It's a little bit closer to the arcade. Even swapping out Chin for Jeff was great. Downside if Jeff was Chin. Jeff's fighting style was the same as Billy and Jimmy, and should have been given the same move set as Jimmy. What would have been better is to keep Chin and add Jeff as an extra character to fight. I still recommend this, but I hope the creator of this hack can update this. Giving Jeff Jimmy's move set would bring it a lot closer to the original.
