Just like last year, I'm starting 2019 with another look at a Double Dragon game I've looked at before. This time, we're investigating the differences between and history of Double Dragon II: The Revenge in the arcade and on the SEGA Mega Drive.

Arcade footage captured from a US Nintendo Switch outputting HDMI, Genesis/Mega Drive footage captured using a US JVC X'Eye outputting RGB SCART to a Framemeister, 360 footage captured from a US 360 outputting HDMI.
