Dong Dong Never Die

Dong Dong Never Die is a 2009 Chinese fan game that has digitized sprites and parodies popular fighting game series like Street Fighter and King of Fighters. According to one of the developers, it took 3 years of work to make and uses 10,000 photos! And it shows, actually – the features include 36 animated backdrops and 24 unique playable characters, each with a full complement of normal moves, specials, and supers.

DDND is not particularly balanced or complex or anything, but I had a good time playing through the Story Mode, which takes you on a quest to find and defeat the mysterious “Biochemistry Man”. The supreme goofiness is obviously the star of the game, but it also handles better than most fan-made fighters out there. A lot of (potentially misplaced) love went into this one! I especially like the long ending sequence that shows off the actors behind-the-scenes.

You can download DDND here, from Game Front. Also, apparently the developers of DDND were working on a PC/PSP HD remake of Streets of Rage and reveal this if you win the extremely cheesy 1-on-7 battle after the credits. If you can’t be bothered to win yourself, here’s a video of it and the “hidden” ending.

Thanks to vani77a for sharing this on the forums.

They stole the Street Fighter 4 music? There's a legal letter right there.

Do you seriously expect a Chinese fan-game to care about copyrights?

This game steals music and stuff from everywhere in the funniest ways imaginable. The KoF2008 intro is golden.

How did they make the sprites? Green/blue screen or careful photoshop editing?

This exactly what I'd expect from the makers of Super Cosplay War Ultra.

Are there any videos demonstrating the fighting techniques of the scantily clad female fighters in this game?

Come on, Chinese ain't the only one doing it. There's thousands of flash games using Mario and sonic too, you know.

And your point is?

Well, the cutesy girl character has a supermove that summons Optimus Prime.

I really like this! Nice dedication from the creators.

That's not Streets of Rage. It's Dinosaurs and Cadillacs, and old Capcom arcade game based on the comic book of the same name.

Here's how I foresee the events occurring:
-Capcom send DCMA letter to these guys
-These guys know they're in the wrong and will lose the legal battle if it comes to court
-They change the music to something else so they don't lose 3 years of hard work
-Copies of the game appear on the Internet with the original music

Or 2, nothing really happens.

The point is: Who care.
