Billy and Jimmy are back!
Anyone who is a fan of the classic beat-em-ups knows the Double Dragon series. Countless hours were fed to the series, taking the martial arts brothers on a journey of fists and kicks. Double Dragon Neon, a homage to the classic games, is set to hit stores this September for X-Box Live and the Playstation Network. Here is some info from the source itself, as well as some screenshots:
Since announcing the fresh new hotness that is Double Dragon: Neon, fans have been tapping their toes waiting for an official release date for the most radical game of 2012 (and 1987, because Double Dragon: Neon is so awesome it rocks across time and space). Finally, we can let the cat out of the bag – Double Dragon: Neon will be coming to PlayStation®Network on September 11 for $9.99 and to the Xbox LIVE®Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft on September 12 for 800 Microsoft points.
Now that you’ve got the 411 on Billy and Jimmy and their bro-tastic adventure to take on Skullmageddeon and save their girlfriend Marion, get yourself pumped up by high-fiving your nearest bud and visit www.doubledragonneon.com, the official place for all things Double Dragon: Neon. Developed by the geniuses from WayForward Technologies, Double Dragon: Neon is a love letter to the classic beat ‘em up genre with modern sensibilities and a thick slather of Eighties acid-washed aesthetic.
So ridiculously excited for this reboot!
