Two other console versions of ''Double Dragon II'' were also made, but were [[NoExportForYou released only in Japan]]: a UsefulNotes/MegaDrive version (closer to the arcade game, but with severely downgraded visuals and smaller character sprites) and a [[UsefulNotes/TurboGrafx16 PC Engine]] Super [=CD-ROM2=] version (closer to the NES game but with improved visuals, a new soundtrack, and anime-style cutscenes). There was also a full-on 3D "remake" for the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}}, titled ''Double Dragon II: Wanders of the Dragons'', by Korean developer Baruson Creative--which was universally panned by critics for its poor gameplay and cheap visuals. (This remake also came out shortly after the better-received ''VideoGame/DoubleDragonNeon'', which didn't help matters.) An unrelated UsefulNotes/GameBoy sequel was released in 1991; simply titled ''Double Dragon II'', it was actually a ''VideoGame/KunioKun'' game with the graphics and music changed for the [[DolledUpInstallment Western release.]]

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: All the cutscenes in the game show only Billy Lee, regardless of whether a second player is present. The only exception to this is the cutscene prior to the final boss fight: depending who is playing, it shows either Billy, Jimmy, or both Lee brothers.

The only exception to this is the cutscene prior to the final boss fight: depending who is playing, it shows either Billy, Jimmy, or both Lee brothers. The PC Engine version averts this by showing both brothers regardless of how many players are playing.

Added DiffLines:
* PunchKickLayout: PlayedWith; the previous game established the series' punch and kick buttons. This game mixes up the formula by going with a directionally-sensitive punch & kick scheme, where you either punch in front or throw out a rear kick depending on which way Billy or Jimmy is facing. This takes some getting used to, [[DamnYouMuscleMemory especially if you're fresh off any other games in the series]], but once you have it down it becomes a bit easier to protect your flank from sneak attacks.

Per TRS

* SequelDifficultySpike: The bosses are stronger than the ones in the first game, only partial health recovery is given between stages (as opposed to the full-health recovery in the first game), and [[Every10000Points extra lives]] are completely eliminated (you're stuck with what you start with). The default settings have the timer on the second-fastest speed with the second-hardest difficulty and only two lives, which makes Mission 3 hard to complete on time (and Mission 4 almost impossible). All of the transition sequences between stages are now done by elevators, making it impossible to carry weapons between stages.

Stuffed In The Fridge is now a disambig/fanspeak page and should not be linked in bulleted trope lists.
