GP: "It's no secret that WayForward Technologies loves to give a helping hand in rebooting old franchises, what with Contra 4, A Boy and His Blob, and BloodRayne: Betrayal all previously under their belt. And now it seems they've gotten their hands on the Double Dragon license and decided to release a retro reboot Double Dragon: Neon for XBLA and PSN. Borrowing so heavily from its forefathers, you may think this game's a remake at first glance, but once you get to know it a little better, you'll soon see what makes Neon something new. Unfortunately, this game has too many flaws to be as enjoyable as it could have been."
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..
