Overview

Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls adapts the 1993-1994 animated series into a versus fighting game. Players choose from a roster of characters drawn from the cartoon and face off in one-on-one matches. The Jaguar version was developed by Telegames and published by Tradewest.

Why it matters

This title shows how the Double Dragon name expanded beyond the original beat-em-up games into the mid-1990s fighting-game boom. For Jaguar owners, it is a concrete example of third-party support for the console's cartridge era.

03

The physical edition

A typical complete copy includes the Jaguar cartridge, the original box, and a printed instruction manual. Regional editions can differ in language, region markings, and box art, so verify the specific edition before purchase.

Playing it today

The game plays on an original Atari Jaguar with a compatible cartridge. It also runs on common Jaguar emulators, making it easy to test before buying a physical copy.
