Kunio-kun and Double Dragon creator passed away.f.
>>736487805Who?
Isn’t that a beat em up or some shitF
>>736487805He made a big cultural impact. there's a lot of games that are more inspired by double dragon than a lot of people realize.
RIPSticky it up jannies

Fucking F.>>736487975Dude, there's a fucking Double Dragon movie.

>>736487805This art (and game) might be the most iconic for me. Nothing triggers gaming nostalgia for me quite like this image.
I don't mind getting older but watching the world become slowly unrecognizable is not a comfy feel
>>736487805RIP ;__;
>>736488310They also drink beer and sake like crazy too if unchecked.
>Why do you need another quarter anon? You just keep starting over
>>736487805Jimmy showing up at the end of DD as the final boss was my first moment of video game kino.
>>736487805Fwill be playing the OG arcade game in his honor
>>736487805F for a real one.Life is funny sometimes was reading emugen and there's a anon playing the 3DS Kunio games with a 3DS bezel (this webm is one of many he posted there), ended up starting a new River City Ransom playthrough at the same time because of it, all on this past weekend...

No...NOOOOOOOOOO
>>736487805He's Beat'en Up angels now... RIP king, you helped spawn the second best game genre. One that sadly has not grown up or evolved beyond your original design. Perhaps that means it was perfect already.
Anyone remembers the hockey game?https://youtu.be/TFS4MSYfSQI

>>736487805R.I.P. to a foundational creator. Double Dragon and Kunio-Kun were amazing beat-em-ups.

Hoping he gets a pin. Double Dragon is undeniably one of the most important video games to have ever been made.May he rest in peace. I love video games because of his influence.
RIP
F
Huge F. Double Dragon was a fun time at the arcade.
>>736495814>ItagakiCancer>ToriyamaInjury complicated by old age and smoking>MiuraFreak medical condition no one could have predicted>IwataCancerYeah, they typically live longer as long as something isn't actively killing them.
Double Dragon Rise of the Dragons is very good, highly recommend.
>>736487805It's a shame the world is shifting towards gacha live services, but at least we got one last Double Dragon a few years ago.
So many goneGreat times never again
>>736497350The absurdity of what killed Miura is you look at the statistics and how absolutely low the chances were of him dying from aortic dissection in his 50s. Its getting pierced by the needle in the haystack luck.
>>736487805Damn. One of the characters in my book was based on Kunio. Why are all of my inspirations dying?
>>736495962There was a Fist of the North Star NES game?
Aren't the japs supposed to live the longest?Why do they keep dying young?
>>736487805Fkunio had a ton of influence still seen today
>>736497846They may say he died of aortic dissection, but i know he died of a broken heart...
>>736497989Because it doesn't matter how much you walk and how much fiber you put into your body when you're chain smoking cartons a day, anon. Smoking probably feels good and aesthetically it looks cool but the damage is apparent. If big wigs REFUSE to touch their product, then its fucking poison.
>>736487805F and rip for the beat'em up Lord
>>736495814reminder japan took the covid vax like its candythey are homogenous so shit scales very easy.not an anti vaxer but its crazy how many notable jap people got riped in the last 5 years despite the country being known for its longevity.
Still no sticky, huh?Why is that?
>>736499302Mods=fagsSimple as
>>736499302Because its going to attract the shartyfag children that infest this place and they'll just spam wojaks, LITERALLY WHO, gore and CP like they always do.
>>736487841Yoshihisa Kishimoto, the creator of Double Dragon.Hope this helps!
>>736499302/v/ mods don't recognize him. He got a sticky on /vr/.
bimmy and jimmy
I wish people gave as much of a shit about beat em ups as the amount of energy and resources dispersed desperately keep trying to keep fighting games not named Smash Bros or Mortal Kombat on cultural relevance life support.
>>736487805Rip
>>736487805FRIP in peace, champ.your works shaped a whole generation of arcade games.
>>736494116I never noticed before how much the MC looks like Kenshiro
>>736488260Smoking, drinking, probably a lot of stress (and lack of sleep) due to his position in the industry back in the 80's/90's... etc.
>>736495814>Itagaki at 58fuck, I didn't know he was dead
>>736495814Our boys are dying out there to give us games

>>736505416happened late last year
>>7365054165 days before NG4 release too
Gonna run through Renegade and Double Dragon in commemoration, whats the best way to play each of them? Do I just go with the arcade versions
F>>736488189>Double Dragon movie.I watched it again last year. Paul Dini is credited as a writer, although apparently the movie as it stands is a butchering of his original screenplay.
>>736487805RIP
>>736503690I feel like River City Ransom was way ahead of its time and if someone made a beat em up in that sort of fashion where you have an open world and RPG mechanics, people would love it over a traditional beat em up.
>>736494870Shoulda been /thread here, well said.>>736495814Japan's life expectancy is actually quite high.
>>736487805[F]Thanks for this legendary game, sir.
>>736506924>Gonna run through Renegade and Double Dragon in commemoration, whats the best way to play each of them? Do I just go with the arcade versionsgo with the arcade version of renegade, but the original version which is not localized but the game infinitely loops so you can just do the first loop and then play the nes version of it where it expands on the arcade by including a bike chase for level 2 and a maze for the last level
I forgot was it him or someone else trashing the new 3d DD game made by arcsys and said they didn't understand Double dragon
>No pinWTF!?
>>736507579/v/ is soulless now
>>736507579honestly that's probably a good thing modern /v/ is filled with shitty zoomers and indians.
>>736506924Double Dragon arcade, NES or Advance, depending on your preference. Double Dragon II and Neon are also worth your time. I like Super Double Dragon, but that is a divisive title (it gets more appreciation these days; I always liked it because I owned the cart).
STICKY THIS SHITGuess I'm playin some Double Dragon & Battletoads later
>>736499513These retards almost ruined Chuck Norris sticky thread in /tv/
>>736507861>The Ultimate TeamYeah! Still holding out that they get the toads for DDGaiden. They'd fit in perfectly.
>>736495814>Miura...still hurts...

>>736507579Good. It'd just get flooded with subhumans born in the 2010s.

>>736509395It is clearly a pin
>>736510120>>736509395
>>736488260Look at these faggots telling you why Japs die young when they have some of the highest life expectancy in the world.
>>736488260It's a miracle he even made it to 64, you literally cannot have hobbies in japan because work wraps up at 1AM, and you STILL have to drink and smoke for at least 2 hours with the boss in some dingy bar/restaurant.
I still need to beat Double Dragon
>>736488482I agree.It really fucking sucks. I have been living on nostalgia for the last 10 years, probably more.
>>736492465that looks really good. do 3ds games emulate well?
>>736507579/co/ didn't have a pin for the OG harley quinn and I am mad to this day.
>play the hell out of NES World Cup Championship as a kid>had a single issue of nintendo power that had a really cool looking "Crash and the gang" game with the same characters>find out later that the original JP version of the games is a series called "Kunio-kun">forget about it for a long time>see this
>>736499302Having a sticky here no matter what it is will attract unfunny faggots wanting to stir shit up
>>73648780564...another early death..rest in peace
It's going to be really weird when the first people to had worked on microcomputers reach centennial age.

>>736487805Bimmy and Jimmy
>>736511604Generally, no. Some are alright, if they're low-intensity, but the 3DS emulator itself is pretty ass.

Genuine RIP to the GOAT

>>736507907>>736514850Read that post you retarded cunt.Youre the cancer killing every board.
>>736518839what the fuck are you talking about nigger I am on your side or at least thought I was. who the fuck are the people spamming shit here every day?
>>736487805FKunio-kun games on NES/Famicom were great.
>>736487805I just emulated and 100% the NES, SNES and Arcade versions earlier this year. Fun games for their time. RIP.
>>736487805ripwhere sticky
>>736487805F I used to play this every day before school on master system.
Pay your RESPECTS, niggas.
>>736487805Didn't he die last year?
>>736520824FDD and DD2 were the best
>>736511604best way to play is to pick up a wii u and soft mod it, way cheaper than a 3ds these days too
All boards report!
F. I'm too young for double dragon and river city ransom but he standardized beat em ups and by extension character action so he contributed quite a lot to what I like about video games>>736507245If you Google statistics that's dominated by Okinawa and flyover land and ignore the meat grinder cities and the fact that they aren't giving birth
>>736499302Because not enough people made threads about the subject that they're forced to reluctantly make a sticky like they did with ItagakiTo get a sticky quickly made here you need the person to have been some known person at nintendo or some popular eceleb that did nintendo content because of "cultural phenomenon" bullshit
I know it's not related to him or dd but...Thread theme. https://youtu.be/cShnT2RGKZU?si=mVzs3l9NWTEDStGj
>>736487805i'm more of a streets of rage kinda guy
>>736487805dunno who he is or what a double dragon is but sorry for your loss anon
>>736488482Anyone who does not truly fear death has not lived a life of such worth that they fear losing it. You need not fear the coming of death, but to fear death itself is only human
>>736522397Fine. Here's some hyperbole. I am willing to go as far as to say without Double Dragon, there is no golden age of Capcom.
barf
>>736523945This, it made them enough money so they could bulk up and eventually make Street Fighter 2.
Fhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDllKN9V6fo
>>736487805rip. the first three double dragon games were awesome back in the day.
>>736492465I'm pretty sure the ugly one after this one was the last mainline Kunio kun game released. And that was in fucking 2015 or some shit. Since then it's been just Girls, zero, collections, the Chinese spin offs and a rerelease of the 3DS game. But no new main game in like 12+ years.
>>736524057Well, sorta, it was the foundation of Final Fight. Its even in their development docs. They fanboy HARD about it. And I am still of the opinion that the Capcom that's loved was BORN with Final Fight.
>>736524120It set the foundation for many games. Not just that, it also inspired a bunch of composers to create music for vidya.
>>736495962Where'd you copy this list from, anon?I'm strangely bothered that some faggot revisionist'd the original snes Banka release into river city girls.

>>736497350>vax>vax>vax>vax>vax
>>736526564This and the live action movie was my only exposure to Double Dragon as a kid.
>>736488189It was a huge game series back in it's day, on par with Castlevania. Amazing that Castlevania survives albeit a shadow of its former relevance while other former giants like double dragon are all but forgotten
>>736494870Good post but beat em ups did evolve and quite a lot. Arkham Knight is basically a modern double dragon and the peak of the evolution
>>736488018how about i stick it up yo ass
>>736531473Id say Bayonetta and DMC games are more like these beat em ups. If anything Arkham games are metroidvanias
I'm gonna say what we're all thinking. Fighting games are just low budget beat'em ups.
He really deserves a better remembrance than this.
>>736506134yup that did itF
>>736532381Better to be remembered by a few than have a legacy tarnished
>>736506134Jimmy Lee and Billy Lee are dragon masters NOW!F
>>736531332Castlevania was big for longer, while I don't think DD had any big successes since the 80s
>>736487805Well that sucks.
>>736487805I used to play these games on the NES and SNES as a kid. Growing up really sucks, everyone who had an impact on your life just keeps leaving.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJtq0cgWqNQ

>>736507579literal who LMFAO
>>736495962>The Combatribes
>>736537953the ad for that was a classic
>>736487805He basically created the Beat Em Up
>>736487805R.I.P. KingI will forever love Double Dragon and beat em ups ;(
>>736487805Redpill me on kunio-kun
>>736538912japanese high school delinquent beating other high schoolers and then beats them up again in sports for the later installments
>>736538912You beat up people for coins, eat food to level up, and can get a free smile from a restaurant lady as an option instead of just food
>>736506984The only decent thing about it is that it's the hottest Alyssa Milano ever looked.
>>736507047Yakuza owes a lot to it and the Kunio games more broadly way more than it does Shenmue IMO.
>>736487805wasn't the guy a bit of a delinquent himself in his youth?
>>736488482The thing is I actually do have prenatal memories. It's an incomprehensible mess but it brings me absolute dread whenever I think about it too much.
>>736495814>Sakurai is starting to look like a skeleton. I don't like where this is going bros...
>>736495129How many boosters, tranny?
>>736531332Double Dragon really didn't survive the transition to 16-bit because Final Fight and Streets of Rage 2 made it's gameplay archaic.
>>736488260Wrong around 30 or less some people get white hair. All psyop delaying marriage, age of consent bullshit etc. Doesn't matter if you live longer because you will be a living zombie.
>>736507047Always wondered this too. You'd think like it's a no brainier to have a streets of rage or final fight with a large free roam open world and stats and gear and new moves you can unlock. But no, 99.9% of games just never did it. Weird.Are there ANY beatemups that DID do a Kunio kun-like? Kenka Bancho and Yakuza being the most obvious one.
>>736540003Scott Pilgrim borrowed pretty heavily from RCR, didn't it?
>>736540206The 8 and 16 bit era in general.
>>736487805F, my childhood has lost another good one..
Did we ever find out what motivated him to make this bullshit so different from the DD3 arcade game?
>>736541747Coin-ops were their bread and butter. Why the fuck would they try to do a 1:1 conversion to Famicom so kids would stop putting in money?

>>7364990792 more weeks sar
>>736487805Double Dragon and Kung Fu arcade machines made me starve as a kid, I was fucking addicted.
>>736553008Well, fuck you then!
Zoomers wont care.
>>736556050I do anon, learned about Double Dragon from playing Abobo's Big Adventure like 15 years ago. Either that or I was binging NES videos a lot.
>>736556717You're barely a secondary then
>>736557179Better than nothing. Both franchises were in their twilight years when I was younger.
Speaking of Kunio, the Neo Geo dodgeball game's OST is pretty rad.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waWbSCOLcBIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm-cXCTNUW8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGBssjPoXOA
>>736541747The arcade was outsourced to East Technology (not a good developer) as they were busy making The Combatribes, but their console division were already doing stuff different from their arcade games and (this is a supposition) the arcade and console versions of DD3 were done in parallel, which is why they are different.
>>736545289Nah that game is very technical cuz you have to get perfect scores to see the true final boss. And the levels are more like a succession of small but detailed setpieces.
>>736495962>Nintendo World Cupi loved this game
>>736557613It's surprisingly very good
>>736557861Sounds about right
>>736539679Enough to die 5 years ago by your antivax schizo predictions.
>>736499079>not an anti vaxerUh huh, and that's why you're spewing verbatim antivax bullshit, right? Vax so powerful it time traveled to give Iwata cancer in 2015. 2 more weeks, 1 billion people die right? Just TWO. MORE. WEEKS.
>>736499302Stickies aren't made out of respect, they're made to contain spam to 1 thread. Someone who hasn't been relevant in 40 years isn't going to garner enough thread spam to justify it.
>>736487805>We are sorry to hear of the passing of Yoshihisa Kishimoto, creator of the legendary Double Dragon and Kunio-kun (River City) series. WayForward was greatly inspired by his works, and it was an honor to explore the universe he created.https://x.com/WayForward/status/2041275050477625418

>>736576267I mean particular stuff that was obscure like darkstalkers I was gonna use an example or that Robocop reboot cartoon that came out in the late 90s way after the movies had run its course hell they even made a cartoon about the old Williams midway arcade game with arch rivals guy with qbert I think
>>736495814bro... even /a/ gets regular deaths around those ageI thought japanese were healthy long living people? what gives?
>>736572012>Google what Duane & Brando have been up to>Brando is Brandette and Duane turned into a retarded faggot and is the reason why a bunch of old videos disappeared
>>736572012>>736576619What the FUCK
>>736576359>hell they even made a cartoon about the old Williams midway arcade game with arch rivals guy with qbert I thinkThe Power Team.That show was weird and even as a kid I could tell it was a shameless cashgrab trying to rip off Captain N. The talking Bigfoot still has a special place in my heart, though.
>>736487805BARF!
>>736577771They even have that one goofy ass cartoon with the kid turning into a car depending on the temperature but that ain’t really video game related
>>736576148I miss it.>Raunchy comedy for adults? Gorey sci-fi horror movie? Think of the toy line!
>>736487805He was Nekketsu til the endF
Ok so how do you get past the wall in mission 4?
>>736576148Without that mindset, we would have never gotten Transformers
>>73648826064 is unironically young for a Jap. He could have easily lived to 90
>>736487805Good night sweet prince. F.
Even Kunio-kun is represented in Smash. Pay your respects fellas, a real one has passed away.
>>736578375lucksometimes it fucking destroys you, sometimes you coast right bythere's no way to know

>>736578223>Kids love our show and toys are flying from the shelves! We should make a movie!>What's going to be about>Just any silly random thing, it's a kid's movie, right?>Movie production's face when saying "more than meets the eye"
>>736542020crazy aesthetic art back then.
>>736495962Road Blaster was so good. I should have gotten tired of seeing it in like every arcade near me, but it controls so good and is just plain fun.
>>736578920I thought it was road blaster the laser disc game he did or road avenger in the states
>>736578980My mistake. Yeah the one he did is a laser disc game, it seems.
>>736579081So in other words you were talking out of your ass because road blaster is one of those quick time event type games like dragons lair.
>>736579390Huh? What are you angry about? I mistook 2 similarly named games. Why is that an affront to you?
>>736578624Hot Rod did not deserve the hate he got. At all.
>>736572012>it's real
>>736580631>MANnot anymore
So what of his games should I play
>>736583661River city ransom EX for an entry pointIt expands upon the nes version and adds more features like cpu buddies who you can recruit under certain circumstances
Online being exclusive to PC was cheeks, but this was a wild ride.
>>736584335how long
>>736556050They don't like River City Girls?
>>736583661river city girls
>>736492465River city feels weird not playing in 30 fps. (NES)
>>736487805That's sad news. I don't remember playing Double Dragon. I may have played it by renting the game for the SNES or NES, I did enjoy the live action movie and the cartoon series based on Double Dragon. May Yoshihisa Kishimoto rest in peace. Thanks to him, we got the sidescrolling street beatem up games like those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle game on SNES, the Predator vs. Aliens arcade game by Capcom and the arcade X-Men game by Konami.Dotemu has released the Double Dragon Trilogy for mobile on the Google Play Store for $3.49.>>736488189The live action Double Dragon movie was okay. But I also remember the Double Dragon cartoon series and even though I didn't watch every episode, of the episodes I did watch were usually pretty good.

>>736487805>>736495962Some early career highlights:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7E7HGL0TWYCobra command. A laserdisk game about flying a helicopter.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciMTAcqdh4oRoad blaster, laserdisc . 1980's Japanese city pop anime road violence, shades of Fist of the North star. A man's wife is murdered by bancho road gang members, and he takes his supercharged trans am, and is out for vengance. Double DragonAnon covers it enough. The cultural impact of Kunio and Double dragon on the game makers and anime/manga makers of the era can't be overstated.Renegade/Kunio neketsu monogatari.Anon covers it well. Launched the Beat em up genre as we know it. Kunio himself was a franchise on it's own in Japan. Most of the games in the US got localized to unrecognizability..Dodge ball related. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKyAUOng7ew>>736507047Definitely. Conceptually, this is happening at the same time as the first action RPGs, and scrolling adventure games. Cho AnikiThe infamous gay space shooter.>>736523945Capcom were unquestionably fanboys of everything he did. >>736497909Several.>>736579390>>736579603A reasonable mistake. They came out with the same title, within 2 years of each other, and both feature a turbocharged red car smashing the shit out of enemies, with a turbo button.
>>736593135rip to a real one
>>736556717>Abobo's Big AdventureIncredibly based
>>736576037speaking of sports, there were 2 canceled sports spin-offs for the SFC (kunio-kun polo and kunio-kun kart). guess we'll never see them now
