''Double Dragon Neon is a side-scrolling beat ‘em up that reimagines the classic formula slightly to try and offer a new experience for players that perhaps didn’t ever get to experience the original game in all its glory. You play either Billy or Jimmy Lee as they begin a mission to rescue Billy’s girlfriend who has been kidnapped by the evil Skullmageddon gang. Their mission takes them through classic environments reminiscent of the original game and will even find themselves on a quick, questionable, jaunt into space.
Neon trades on nostalgia from the start and doesn’t just rely on games from their own franchise to trigger it. The cheesy metal soundtrack, the brothers who could easily have been drawn from any number of popular 80s movies along with references to the decade littered throughout the game.''
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..
