Nerd Base: When I was a kid I remember going to a local store and dropping quarters anytime I could, to play Double Dragon. It was pretty much the quintessential beat-em up genre game of the 80′s Like any great 80′s game, they made a horrible 90′s movie loosely based on it.
While at Pax East this year, I was getting ready to leave, and walked by Double Dragon Neon. I was shocked because I hadn’t heard any news about this game at all, but it was playable right in front of me, so I gave it a shot. I thought Majesco Entertainment might have nailed it. Unfortunately once I got to dive into the game fully I was horribly disappointed.
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..
