Someone here mentioned that an insider posted stuff at Neo-Geo.com about the game. Well, I copied his posts and asked him some questions. The guy is from Mexico so don't anyone diss his English.
"Elias" 's 3 posts:
I gona tell you the truth, this is the sequel of Double Dragon the name was change, because Evoga and Noise have the rights of the character and the history but the name was lost. You will see a complete new game, only Jimmy, Billy Lee and Abobo are back, the others are new. It’s a fighting game by teams with two members like X-Men vs Street Fighters. In the new characters you will see Elias a priest and his partner a little girl posses by the demon, also is Pepe a Mexican fighter with Pupa from Brazil, Oni and Kass and Billy and Jimmy aren’t in the same team. And if you ask for Marion sorry boys but she is dead. I know about this because I worked in Evoga and I made Elias.
I see that not much people believe, well sometime be honest is not the best part. I see the new poster in this you will find Sharon, that woman with purple hair make team with Billy. She is very important in the history and one of the best character in game, she was a mercenary but… play the game. She was design by Mr. Belmont, he made a great job with this girl and in the begin her name was Sera but the Japanese changed. From the beginning this character was selected for the game. Also you will see some of his ideas behind the game, he made a lot of the fighting style of the characters.
The girl in the middle of the poster is Kass, she make team with Oni her brother. She was design by the man behind Evolution Soccer, Edu. He is my best friend and a great designer and if you think that he made a good job with this character you have to see Oni, is one of my favorite character in the game. Edu was the chief in the ES project and great lider.
The brain behind this games is Mario a great designer. He was in charge of the project and he design most of the character, you can see what he do with Billy and Jimmy and Alice that little girl with great power is one of the best. It’s a shame that you will see his draw in the endings, I prefer him than the japanese guy of the poster. He made the logo and must of the engine, and also he is a fan of Art of Fighting. He is a great artist.
My Message:
Dear Elias,
This information is greatly appreciated, Elias, I just hope this is okay with your superiors. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble with your boss. If it is not something that would get you in trouble, then I gladly say spread the info. I would also suggest you go to Mad Man's Cafe (http://www.mmcafe.com) since it covers import games and has a nice message board.It looks like you guys over at Evoga put effort and dedication into this project. As a guy who is learning programming, I find it inspiring to see game developers that actually interact with their fans /general public. The only other example I can think of this off the top of my head is Crawfish Interactive's porting of Street Fighter Alpha 3 for GBA (http://www.crawfish.co.uk). It's also interesting to see a non Japanese developer. How well did working with Brezza Soft go? It may be disappointing that they changed one of your friend's designs but that's just how it goes when you have to work with a seperate group. One thing I would suggest is that he try to work out a deal that the original designs would be put in an in game art gallery in the AES release and those official game guides and that copies of those guides would be printed in Spanish. Heh, I can't read a word of Japanese but I can partially translate Spanish You should seriously look into porting this game to PS2/Xbox/Game Cube. Speaking as an American, I know that a ton of people in the United States don't even know what a Neo Geo is and of those people, most don't actually own one. Most people do own at least a PS2, Xbox, Game Cube. I myself own a Neo Geo Pocket Color but not a Neo Geo AES and know I won't truly be able to afford one. A PS2/Xbox/Game Cube version could increase sales and just more attention to your company.By the way, isn't this game on the Crystal System instead of the MVS? Will there be any posters or apparel to go with the game?
His reply:
Sorry but I didnt have time to write you, thanks for the message and yes you can publish all the information. We collaborate with the Japanese, they make the programming thing and we give the idea. The man in charge of this project was Mario Vargas and excellent designer, he made most of the character: Jimmy, Billy, Pepe, Pupa, Lynn, Alice and Kang; by me Erick: Elias; by Eduardo: Oni and Cass; by Jose Luis Belmont: Sonia; by Angel Radel; by Hikauru: Anni; and Abobo was made by Eduardo and Mario.
I used to work there, I quit the last summer but I have some relation with the Japanese and Evoga. About the art is possible that in Mexico Mario will be the drawer if I have something I send you. This game is for the MVS the Crystal System died the last year, it was a good platform but in some countries didn’t give the support to this system.
I send you some of the image of the game, the first design of Pepe, Pupa and Radel. This work is from Mario.
Bye
He did send me those images so if anyone has the bandwith I'll email them to you so everyone can view them.
"End of Line."
