Double Dragon Trilogy (Android, iOS, PC)

So does this version fix the slowdown in DD1?

If not, are there any versions out there that fix the slowdown?

It does. It does a few weird things as a result though, like when you clear a stage and it plays the victory jingle the next stage music will begin before the jingle is over. Also the intro where Marion is kidnapped moves comically fast.

DD3 Rosetta Stone arcade was horrible.

Agree. After the first 50 cents to start the game, you pay another 25 to get the hurricane kick. And weapons? Another 25 cents for a set of nunchucks or katana. This is very easily a $1.00 game. If you get killed, you need to re-buy the above- so another $1.00 gone. Falling into a pit is an instant game over as well. You need to spam the flying elbow drop to have a chance. It's probably a close second with Double Dragon V for worst of the series.

Return of Double Dragon (Japanese version of Super) is what DD3 should have been more like. Tradewest unfortunately wanted the game sooner than waiting for Technos to "finish" it. While the USA got Super Double Dragon first, it didn't get the complete version. RoDD has better gameplay balance and also a couple extra areas late in the game. Both Sheng Long brothers will team up against you, unlike in Super where you fight one at a time.
