Dustin Spencer from Capsule Computers writes: "25 years ago, the world was introduced to Billy and Jimmy in Double Dragon. This release laid the groundwork on the genre of the beat 'em up, while also becoming one of the most love franchises of all time. Fast forward to today, and it's been a little while since we have last heard of our red and blue brawlers. WayForward has changed all of that with Double Dragon Neon though, as this title attempts to not only pay homage the the name, but also give the nostalgic quarter depositing crowd a new reason to love their modern consoles yet again. Can that old formula still stand strong by today's standards? Grab a bat and watch out for Linda, as here is our review for 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..
whowww retro gaming!
