Following in their trend of revisiting old franchises, such as Contra and A Boy And His Blob, WayForward Technologies has released Double Dragon Neon on PSN and XBLA. If you’re familiar with Double Dragon, that’s great, because this game is essentially a reboot of the series. For those uninitiated, it’s a side-scrolling beat-em-up where up to two players take control of the Lee brothers, Billy and Jimmy, and use martial arts to save Billy’s girlfriend. In short, it’s an homage to old kung-fu B-movies and Bruce Lee.

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 played the demo, it was ok.
Double Dragon will never really be that cool until you can get it to work with things like the Kinect. Beat up your friends through the safety of a TV screen. :)
The game is a mess
