Double Dragon 2 on Game Boy is that perfect mix of clunky and satisfying—like landing a spinning kick just right after getting mobbed by three guys at once. You’re basically punching your way through waves of street thugs to save Marian, and yeah, the story’s as simple as it gets, but who cares when the brawling feels this good?

The controls take a second to click—hold B to charge a punch, tap A to jump—but once they do, you’ll be knee-dropping goons off rooftops like it’s nothing. The co-op mode is where it really shines, though. Grab a buddy, pick Billy or Jimmy, and suddenly every cheap enemy gang-up feels survivable (barely). Just don’t get too cocky—those later levels will wreck you if you rush in.

It’s got that classic arcade vibe where every hit lands with a crunchy little sound effect, and the sprites are somehow both tiny and full of attitude. If you’ve got a Game Boy and a friend nearby, this one’s still a stupidly fun way to burn half an hour.
