NES Longplay [024] Double Dragon III: Sacred Stones 

It's been 30 years since I played this on the NES and I'm sure I could still play it by memory every single move was learnt to finish it as quickly as possible without getting a single hit. Incredible how everything is coming back by watching it. Miss my NES the only happy times with my brother.

It took me and my brother 2 weeks to beat this! I found that RanZou was very useful for the jumps on the Egypt stage. The game was difficult but before game guides came out I figured out exactly what to do. I was 11 yrs old! Miss those days!

I have played this game so many times in the past yet I wasn't aware of the in game menu that allowed Billy to use nunchucks. I also wasn't aware that you could opt between Billy, Chin and Ranzou

The best times of my childhood were seven years when this game was played.. I'm 32 years old, where did the time go?😔😪

Double Dragons team has travelled around the world and met loads of the new martial arts friends and eventually they ended up the trip in Egypt. Felt like i've ever watched Shanghai the Night that Jackie Chan filmed it for a long time ago.

WHY DO NUNCHUKS HAVE AMMO?!?!

I love this game. You make the last boss seem easy it took me a decade to beat her.

my lovely game from my childhood...

This game was fun, hard, had good story, great music, good fighting mechanics and fighting balance plus diversity in terms of fighters to choose from. Great game.

The trauma. This game was brutal as fuck. But hey, so is martial arts on full contact and with limited to no rules.

You played my memories back to life ✨✨😭❤️💕 💕 good old days ....I miss it

That's funny. When I was a kid, this was called Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stones.

Good old times. When I was a child, me and my friend was having a night over to stay up all night playing this. Later we realized it was already 5am and the console was broken days after when we planned to continued the game lol

How disappointed when after playing the far superior Double Dragon II as a kid that my weekend was ruined when I rented this game...

i rented this one for a weekend sleep over. this game killed the fun of it. we ended up playing Double Dragon 2 on the hardest difficulty more.

in the end ranzou the ninja goes back to japan to become a ...ninja???? wait wat?

One of my most favorite games of all time.. Childhood ❤❤❤😫

Countless hours on this game, a great stress reliever.

One of my absolute favourite memories from my childhood, used to play this game a lot.

This game has a notorious reputation, but unlike the arcade and Genesis versions, this version is not that bad quite honestly.

Historians will verify that Italy is indeed the site of all historic ninja battles

I never beat the last boss, always got to the end tho. Thanks for the video, lots of good memories :)

Noiram is just Marion backwards. Mind=Blown

I understand that this NES version of the game was one of the few, if not the only one, which was pretty good. It wouldn't match Double Dragon II, according to most people, but I liked the new things you could do. 2 player co-op was not just fighting together, but using team attacks as well. I liked the fact that the enemy co-operated as well, but defensively they were not that good, because tornado kicks were more likely to be successful every time. However, in my opinion the basic enemies were more different than those from the game's predecessors, which I think is a good thing. Back in those days I always hoped to see real ninja in a Double Dragon game. It reminded me of the first two American Ninja movies, and while playing the Japan level I imagined to be playing with Joe Armstrong instead of Billy. And then I got even more amazed when I discovered I could also play as a ninja after defeating him. This character disappointed me though. He was the weakest of all of them. The Chinese guy was better, but he couldn't do as much as the two brothers. The musical themes are great, in particular the Egyption theme.

I like how this game has the balls to mention Marion was the villain under a evil spell But thats it. The game thinks we don’t we don’t need to know more aftermath of marion.

This game was so badass man I used to fiend as a kid. I miss those times 😩

I could've SWORE that you as one of the characters were able to jump off the wall like the ninjas

wow I remember DD 3 like it was yesterday! it was the 5th mission I couldn't beat, this is a challenging game for real!

Technos always doing excellent games and graphics.

My Favorite Childhood Game

remember that at first time first many times :D😂 i cant even get out of the first room 😂 the breakthrough came when I started playing two players, then ater, with time, it became child's play and I went through it several times. I have evidence in the form of a VHS cassette recording 😂😂

Some tips Running flying kicks does more damage than regular one. Same with co op and walljump versions. The game is much easier with controller having turbo buttons. Some moves like ranzou's jumping sword attack and China's flying head butt have awkward hitbox/range. To compensate, you can do a 180° midair while doing the move. Lee bros can also use this trick to throw enemies off the ledge with their flip throw move at 2:51. If you know how to do level skip cheat, then you can play as all four characters solo. To do this, start in 2 player friendly fire mode, kill your team mate, as they are lying dead on the ground and their body starts flashing do the level skip.

This was the only Double Dragon I played and I totally love it. I don't get all the hate this game gets... Maybe if I had played the other two, but this wasn't bad as far as I remember. I finished it more than twice. It was one of my favorites back then.

this was the first double dragon from the trilogy I owned/beaten on my NES :)

For the Italy boss I found using Ranzou and his sword works well, don't even think of using Billy or Jimmy, he'll flatten them, I made that mistake only once. For the Princess on Egypt, Chin and his Iron Claw causes massive damage to her. So keep Chin fresh, of you can help it. Also use Ranzou on the mummies with his sword.

my favorite game when i was kid i play this game so much it was so cool :) game big memoeries still remember her and the game is easy but cool she is one of the first games or maybe is the first game with enemys playing characters thats good what ilike in this game and is easy that make it her so fun and i still remember everything the music the levels and i fight vs this boss chin boss nomber 2 i say to myself when i was a kid this day will be something big for me one day maybe i will remember for this old day and now this happend hen i play this last time was 2004 i was kid class 4 in school dam that was before so much time :) good game

Honestly other than the infamous typo of bimmy lee, this was a great Double Dragon game for NeS. Much better than the arcade version. Nice graphics challenge and variety of moves and weapons.

I remember what an achievement was to reach level 4. I always tried to make the high, single jumps, with backflips...more than I loved the game. It is good to see English translation. I played the game with chinese writings and I always wondered what did Chin say upon first meeting...

what a hard and beatifull game, love it, this kind of games where you need months of practice to learn to beat it in a boring evenight

That Ninja was my fav character

Been more than 12 years for me. Burning nostalgia. We couldn't finish it by playing fair and square until I unlocked a secret to directly go to the next stage by pressing the triangle, zero and start button.

That's the best version of all DD3 versions. NES kickass)

este juego lo jugaba diario los fines de semana cuando iba en la primaria :')

Классная игра! В детстве проходили с братаном на денди) Ох, времена) Автору респект )

To me, the best Double Dragon on Nes!

Still have my original nes with this game,punch out,legends if the diamond,Mario 3, and several other classics that if I do the old routine to get em goin I can play em but subject to mess up and the worst time usually at the end when you’ve made it all the way through…lol..think 88’ or so when mom got ours..36yrs ago..have intellivision also with burgertime and Atlantis

nice, i used to play this game with my brother when we were kids :')

Amo este juego, la primera ves q jugue alquilado no pasaba del primer jefe, pero con el tiempo cuando lo compre fui avanzando hasta llegar a la final fue altamente estimulante sobretodo al descubrir mas personajes jugables, es una maravilla al igual que el double dragon 2. Ademas de dejar una gran leccion "la ambicion puede destruirte".

This is my all time best double dragon 3 Billy Lee and Jimmy lee

My childhood memories just miss those days one of my favorites of all time

I played this game in the past, superb ! ❤

Bimmy and Jimmy Lee

36:40 "She awoke unharmed." YEAH, RIGHT! That seems legit!

This game probably would've been remembered more fondly if it weren't a Double Dragon game. The difficulty spike and pacing change was too much for me to take in as a kid. I like the game now and I actually find it kind of easy now that I know what to do, but it really shouldn't have been part of this franchise.

We need a new Double Dragon game. (NEON DOESN'T COUNT! That was Double Dragon on an LSD flashback.)

Why didnt u use the scissors kick for chin??? It makes no sense???

Beating this game was an epiphany of joy in the place of death you survived.

i owned this as a kid for shure. the game was very hard compared to 2,

I tried to play it again on pc.... could not complete even the first level

Noiram = Marion. it makes sense

I don't get it, so why didn't the main character turn to dust? He just followed the old lady to the tomb. Btw, how can you take all four stones entering the tomb if the fourth stone is within the tomb... hmm😁

What's wrong with Bimmy's legs?

Ah yes, I remember good old Billy Barehands.

Moja ulubiona gra z dzieciństwa

childhood memories 😢

This is the hardest of all the double dragons.

My dearest childhood is here 💞

Nice memory of this game 😍😍🥰🥰

Aun no he completado el juego, pero ahora que ví este vídeo ya se como hacerlo, me gustó mucho 😉👍

the opening title totally sounded like it was going to be the rocky theme, but then it wasn't

23:33 that part is such a pain in the ass if you don’t act quick. They just gang up on you in the corner and you can’t recover.

That Mr Chen Chinese Bare Hand Tiger Claw Punch Though...

I never played this one but the first two were 5 🌟. This one seems to lack the quality of the first two but still looks fun to play and didn't steer off like Contra and other games back then.

Loved the BGM.

I remember how I used the wall (run into wall and jump with leg kick) to kick the enemy with leg from the wall.

Straight love

I just order it my childhood coming to me ❤💪🏻😁

Greed got the lady at the end

*Excellent video bro but you forgot to run with all characters and the most important thing, jump over the walls with Ranzou*

One of the finest NES game I'd played in my childhood era with my friends, younger brother and cousins. However, at that time I'd played Japanese version because that was only available in the market at that time. We couldn't decode the story line as that time there was neither pc nor internet or any other dude who understood Japanese. So, what my friends and I assumed Hiruko be Billy and Jimmy Lee's old mother 😂😂 with whom they travelled to Egypt to seal the demon female spirit where, unfortunately the old lady dies and this raged Billy, Jimmy, Ranzou and Chin to battle with all their power and defeat the evil queen. Later, I still remember one of my childhood neighbourhood friend assumed that the Last stage boss might be Cleopetra's demon avatar and told me that its her spirit as the final boss. Then later I got to know that its indeed her in the JP version and in NA version they replaced her with Marion. Nevertheless, it's one of my fav game as it's OST/BGMs are still embedded in my heart ❤️

31:35 I'm a little confused about the end..."She who enters the tomb carrying less than all four stones will be turned to dust." So Hiruko gets vaporized, then Chin walks in completely unharmed? Does that mean he had all four?

It was my favourite game out of 1000 of games. One day someone stole my chip . I am quite sure it was one of my friends who used to come to my house to play with me. I was 13 yr old and was very sad. I asked everyone but no one knew where the chip went. I had 1000 of chips and that mf chose this one. My favourite.

They're great fighters, but the one you must fear the most is ... Chuck Norris.

I definitely played the hell out of this game. But I always thought this was called The Rosetta Stone. 🤔

This game wasn't easy to beat, took me time to get mastered on it

CAST: 堀川亮 林延年 江森浩子 掛川裕彦 江川央生 緑川光 田中秀幸 高戸靖広 太田真一郎 郷里大輔 内海賢二

Stage 1 : USA Stage 2 : China Stage 3 : Japan Stage : Italy. Stage 5 : Egypt Noiram = Marion...under spells ! 😅 Hiruko is an EVIL ! She is a traitor ! Billy and Jimmy : 84. (life) Chin Seimei : 100. (life) Ranzou Yagyu : 74. (life) Another video game with "the Sacred Stones" as subtitle : Fire Emblem 2. (Game Boy Advance)

The game is so really hard but the soundtrack is beatiful. I have all in my mobile

Bimmy isn't even a real name!!

" She awoke unharmed" after such a beating, I doubt xD

This game feels much better to play than its arcade counterpart, but they had to ruin it by not giving you any lives...

I’d like to play this game in Cambodia 🇰🇭 since 1996

You know I’ve seen a lot of people say this game isn’t a port of the arcade, yet idk why because I see some stages and bosses carried from the arcade original.

36:46 That's BS... she took a beating from all 3 guys. She was definitely harmed.

Used to Love this game. Way easier to control than the other games in the series. Only made it to the last level though

Double Dragon 3! The Ultimate Martial Arts For Nintendo Entertainment System Continues! With All New Weapons, Characters, And Street Fighting Moves Against The World's Most Awesome Villians! Double Dragon 3 From Acclaim, The Action Keeps Coming!

I don’t care what anyone says. This is one of the hardest Nintendo games to beat. I’ve played it hundreds of times and may have beaten it once or twice with no cheat codes or game genie.

I play a game a lot's of time dabble dragon. I love this game 😄

Одна из лучших игр детства! 😏👍🔥

You know you can run on this right? I'm sure you did though. And yeah to +Still Gaming. I can see where this game was trying to go now then when I was a kid. Even though I liked the game and beat it, I still didn't fully GET the game until later on, especially seeing it played from a story perspective. A lot of these games really were pushing the envelope back in the day, it was just difficult to see without all the extra technology. These games were just as well thought out as these newer games. These newer games just have all the tech to back them up to make the story and advances more apparent is all. Like Casltevainia III, and how it went into the past to give background.
