Double Dragon Neon is a video game in the Double Dragon series of beat ‘em up games. It was developed by WayForward Technologies, published by Majesco Entertainment, and is intended as a reboot of the Double Dragon series. It was released on September 11, 2012 on PlayStation 3 via the PSN, and September 12 on Xbox 360 via XBLA, to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the series. The game’s dialogue and graphical style is heavily 80s inspired, and features a soundtrack composed by Jake Kaufman that was inspired by the original Double Dragon as well as 80’s pop music and arcade game soundtracks.Twin brothers Billy and Jimmy have been kicking butt and taking names for 25 years. Join them in this bodacious re-imagining of the classic beat ‘em up that started it all. Battle through glass-jawed goons, deadly teleporting geishas, scientific abominations, and more as you hunt down the evil Skullmageddon and save the love of your life, Marian.

"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..
Dat ol' skool.
if you played NES double dragon this is a great update. Its interesting to see the enemies like abodos lindas etc imagined in a modern way.
