Robert Workman: "1987 was the year that Taito first brought the original Double Dragon games to the United States, and since then, we've been fighting with the Lee brothers in both dingy arcades and our homes, across consoles like the NES and Super NES. Recently, the brothers made a comeback, of sorts, when they arrived on Xbox Live Arcade in a recreation of their original arcade effort. Unfortunately, that game has long gone due to rights issues, but don't fret. By this time next week, you'll be fighting with the brothers again in Majesco and WayForward's remake, Double Dragon Neon. We recently went hands-on with a near-final build of the game at PAX Prime to see how it was shaping up."
With River City Girls 2 arriving next week, it's time to look at the company's best!
"Digital games are more convenient than physical games, and usually cheaper too. Still, there's something about collecting physical games that appeals to many gamers. Preordering limited physical editions directly from boutique labels is always an option, but sometimes retailers offer the same editions for a better price. That's certainly the case with Best Buy, which currently has 14 Nintendo Switch titles from Limited Run up for preorder, including TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, Double Dragon Neon, and several more co-op hits," says Co-Optimus.
Limited Run Games is preparing physical editions for both Double Dragon Neon and Double Dragon IV for the Switch that include standard and Classic Limited Editions. Pre-orders go live on May 28th, 2021.
The original Double Dragon from the Arcades about 30 odd years ago was amazing at the time, i played Double Dragon Neon not long ago and it had totally lost all of its appeal, its either Double Dragon isnt that good anymore or Neon is a crap representative of the original..
I regret not seeing this game firsthand at E3. Hopefully it's every bit as fun as the original.
