Story
"Duke and Billy, two popular and renowned New York City Police detectives, are hot on the trail of a dangerous Japanese crime syndicate. Their investigation has led them to the mean streets of Japan where they meet a police officer and martial arts expert named Ryu. Ryu agrees to join the NYPD detectives as they track down the crime syndicate bosses and end their reign of terror once and for all."
Despite the fact that the enemies are yakuza, the end boss is a Spanish or Italian man named Castella (Casterora in Japanese), Also, this game has no ending, no matter which character you have chosen. After defeating Castella, you are only shown various scenes of the game along with the credits, and finally a group picture of the main characters.
