Are you a fan of 80’s gaming? If so, you’ll be happy to know that the Double Dragon franchise is making a return with the downloadable title Double Dragon: Neon. Majesco Entertainment has announced today that this next entry in the retro Double Dragon franchise is expected to arrive on XBLA and PSN this summer. They parterned with WayForward, known for bringing retro games back to a new generation of fans, to ensure that Double Dragon: Neon sticks to it’s 80’s roots.
“Double Dragon: Neon is far from a standard retro remake,” said Sean Velasco, Director, WayForward. “It’s WayForward’s love letter to the decade that spawned the franchise – the music, the style, and culture of the 80’s pulse through the nucleus of Double Dragon: Neon. But don’t think this is a simple graphical facelift; with our innovative ‘mix tape’ level up system and power-up high-fives, we pushed it to the limit!”
The developers call Double Dragon the “father of all brawlers”, and WayForward promises to put their signature spin on it while not straying from the spirit of the franchise. So if you are a gamer from the 80’s, or just someone who enjoys retro games from that era, Double Dragon: Neon might be right up your alley. You can even bring a friend along; in addition to single player gameplay, the game will also offer two player “Bro-Op”.
Breanna has been gaming since infancy, if gnawing on an unattended controller counts as playing a game. One of the younger members of the Gaming Trend family, she dabbled in PC games as a kid but wasn't fully consumed by the hobby until the sixth generation of consoles. Now an avid PC and console gamer, she looks forward to the day when she can scape together enough cash to join the next gen club.
In the last week of middle school, a math teacher taught her how to program a calculator; she was pretty much hooked then and there. Currently working towards a degree in Computer Science and Applied Math, Breanna hope to someday make games instead of just writing about them. Other hobbies include playing guitar, binge-watching Netflix, and cooking delicious food.
