Oprainfall writes: "Like Contra 4 and A Boy And His Blob before it, Double Dragon Neon works because WayForward went by the old adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” The core gameplay and characters in the series – Billy, Jimmy, Marian, the Shadow Warriors – are left alone, but at the same time, they’re updated for a new console generation. Plus, the retro quirks throughout give beat-em-ups, and downloadable games in general, a much-needed kick in the pants. If you don’t mind some minor problems that most games of its ilk suffer from anyway, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more humorous and awesome game experience for $10 than Double Dragon Neon."
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..
