The original beat ‘em up Double Dragon arrived in arcades 25 years ago with main characters Billy and Jimmy Lee fighting their way to save the lovely Marian. Today, in Double Dragon Neon, you pick up the mantle of the Lee brothers once again to save Marian. As fans of the series would expect, Marian is subdued and kidnapped by thugs after she is punched in the gut and carried off. This is the first in a long list of homages that will satiate any fan of the franchise.
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..
