Double Dragon II is a side-scrolling beat-em-up released for the Game Boy in 1991 developed by Technōs Japan. Although it is the second Double Dragon game released for the Game Boy, it is unrelated to the arcade and NES game Double Dragon II: The Revenge. The game is a localization of the 1990 Japanese Game Boy game Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun: Bangai Rantō Hen, which was part of Technōs Japan’s Kunio-kun series. The graphics, music, and storyline were changed for the English version of the game.

The player takes control of martial artist Billy Lee, who is being hunted down by an organization called the “Scorpions” for murdering one of its members. The objective of the game is to fight off the members of the Scorpions and confront the true culprit, a rival martial artist named Anderson. A second player can now join in anytime via the use of a Game Link Cable, taking control of Billy’s brother, Jimmy.

The combat system is simpler compared to previous Double Dragon games, including the first Game Boy game. The player can perform a series of punches or a kick on most enemies, followed by a straight punch or a high kick that knocks the enemy to the floor. Pressing the A and B buttons simultaneously will cause the player to kneel. While kneeling, pressing either button will cause the player to perform an aerial uppercut.

Instead of the hair grab from previous games, the player will do a collar grab (similar to Renegade), in which the player can repeatedly punch the opponent in the face or push them to the ground. While standing near a fallen enemy, a jumping knee drop can be performed. Despite the presence of armed enemies, the player cannot disarm them and pick up their weapons like in other games in the series.
