While the first couple of Double Dragon games started life as arcade games, Super Double Dragon was developed exclusively for the Super Nintendo. Reviews for this game are truly wildly mixed. It was a fairly early release for the SNES, it having only been released the year before. Graphically, it was a huge improvement over older games in the series but it still didn't take full advantage of the SNES. The biggest complaint is that the gameplay is very repetitive and gets boring quickly.
Due to time constraints, Super Double Dragon didn't have everything originally intended by the developer. There were supposed to have been cut scenes that would have added in-game plot, more traps and obstacles, and another boss among other things. This probably would have helped at least some with the perceived repetitive nature of the game.

nice @darth-azrael
I still have this game for my SNES and I think it's a good game on it's own merits, but I didn't know stuff was cut from the game; had it been in, it would've made the game much more interesting. At the time, Contra 3 was on sale at the video game store I use to go to; now I kick myself for buying this game instead of that one.
Oh well, still a good game regardless.
Good post!!
The game I really liked that was sort of in the Double Dragon genre was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV. That game was a lot of fun although it seemed fairly short. I don't think I ever played Contra 3 but I played a lot of the original Contra on the NES (and some on the Commodore 64 too).
That was Turtles In Time, the best game in ninja turtle history. Also, it would be great if Konami released a compilation of all the Contra games on one disk complete with lots and lots of extras. Day one purchase guaranteed.
Yeah, it seems like compilations like that used to be more common. Nowadays you're expected to download titles like that individually through Nintendo's Virtual Console or Steam or something similar...
True, but hey, who knows what's gonna happen in the future.
