Has ANYONE ever beat Double Dragon 3? I had all the game genie codes on and still died in the first level. Mad

Bad Dudes for the NES is craptacular, but I've got the "Thanks for saving me dudes! Lets go get a burger! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" as my wallpaper now.
The best part is the terrible voice clip of "IM BAD!" everytime you beat a boss. Laughing

The NES version of Bad Dudes sucks because Reagan has been replaced with the original President Bush.

The NES version of DD3 is better than the arcade version. The arcade version had this gay system where you had to pump in more quarters to buy special moves and such.

Agreed. "President Ronnie" is awesome.

That reminds me, Bad Dudes: The Movie is on hold for now. The company who owns the rights is open to the idea, but they needed to see a lot more than I could offer at the moment, which wasn't surprising. So it's back to the back burner.

Also, DD3 was ridiculously hard. I remember getting pretty far in 2-player mode with a friend of mine, but on my own I usually can't get past like the second level. Sad

I've made it as far as the boss of the second level before giving up. this was on my own, but I had to play two players and kill player 2 so I could use him as an extra life to do it.

I think the only double dragon games I really enjoyed were the first on NES, super double dragon on SNES, and Rage of the Dragons (which was actually a one on one fighting game made by SNK).

in my opinion, the arcade versions of the double dragon games really sucked compared to the console ones, which is strange, as usually the opposite is true.

you should make a streets of rage movie.

I'll watch any movie based on a beat-em-up, and any movie with Dolph Lungren in it.

Cynthia Rothrock's too old for that now, though.

I think all three of those people are.

I still vote for Scott Hall as Mr. X though.

Holy crap, Bad Dudes and Double Dragon 3, two of my most memorable games from back in the day.
Bad Dudes was so bad it was good. True, the NES version paled in comparison to the arcade, but it was so easy to pick up and play that anybody with thumbs could beat the shit out of some ninjas with some nunchuks and drink energy reviving soda/beer. Ridiculous, but strangely satisfying levels tops off Bad Dudes. And yes, the "I'm Bad" after each boss with Blade or Striker showing off their incredible muscles while you were forced to "go to next stage" were also highlights of Data East's spectacular nes version of the "Arcade Hit!" If you liked this game you'll love Heavy Barrel, but I will say no further.

Okay enough with Bad Dudes. Anyway, this friend of mine paid me 40 bucks to find him a copy of Double Dragon 3 for him. I did, as well as purchasing myself several game genies to beat the game. Even with the game genies it took us forever to actually conquer the final boss. The ending was the biggest disappointment I have ever experienced playing an nes game, all i remember is some lame end story and some poorly drawn close up shots of billy, jimmy, chin, and ranzou. We were so pissed that the ending was crap that I don't think we've played the game since.

So, Blackout Boy, I have indeed beaten DD3, but only with a friend while using two game genies. Was it worth it? Not really. Would it have been worth it if we hadn't cheated? No, but it would have infuriated me to the point where I would have thrown my nes advantage controller through the television after I saw the ending.
