Double Dragon Neon: The Brothers Battle Again In September
Double Dragon NeonGuaranteed the dude who sent this tip to us is such an 80s fan. ...or maybe he just recalls the big Double-D with a certain fondness, which is completely and entirely normal.
As revealed at the game's Facebook page, publisher Majesco will bring Wayforward's amusing, over-the-top Double Dragon Neon to the PlayStation Network on September 11; the price will be $9.99. XBLA users get it a day later.
Yeah, you remember Double Dragon. We all do. The side-scrolling beat-'em-up is just totally classic and this tongue-in-cheek homage should be oodles of throwback fun. Heck, they're even including mixtape power-ups and multiplayer they've affectionately dubbed "bro-op." I'm just wondering if you could get a young'un to play this; those who have never heard of DD would probably laugh upon seeing this, just 'cuz it's so old-school. But who can pass up some awesome 2D bashing action? Is that even possible?
There are just so many reasons to hop onto the PSN/XBLA these days.

I want them to make Battle Toads HD!!!! That game was impossibly hard and I want to see if I can beat it now that I'm a better gamer and not you know 4 years old.

Anyhow, does anyone else think Super Double Dragon for SNES was incredible? Not so much for music or production, or anything like that, but the core fighting mechanic was surprisingly robust, moreso than any other brawler I know of. I do think the Streets of Rage games, particularly 1 and 2 had the best look and feel, but gameplay wise, I think Super DOuble Dragon was king of the roost.
