If you’re looking for a serious Double Dragon remake, this game may not be for you. You’ll fight familiar faces such as the whip-wielding Linda and the hulking Abobo on your quest to save Marian! Pick up weapons lying on the ground to give you a temporary edge, and punch objects to reveal and collect other goodies like cash and health pickups. It starts out just like the arcade game, with Marian being kidnapped by thugs, and then the heroes appearing from the garage behind her. Billy (or Billy and Jimmy Lee in co-op), must punch and kick waves of bad guys to save his girl Marian. Like the many clones that came after the original, Double Dragon Neon plays like any other side-scrolling brawler. The game became insanely popular, and spawned many sequels and ports, a cartoon show, and even a live action movie! Now, Majesco and WayForward have teamed up for a totally bro-dacious Double Dragon remake, dripping with 80’s rad-ness, downloadable for PS3 and 360 (PS3 version reviewed here). Or at least the first one to do it right anyway. Back in the 80’s, Double Dragon was a huge hit in arcades, and is considered to be the first co-op side scrolling beat ‘em up.
