Double Dragon Neon is now on PSN

September 11, 2012 Comments 1 note retro gaming gaming Double Dragon PSN PlayStation 3

It’s also better than the charmingly horrible Double Dragon movie, who’s only real saving grace was Alyssa Milano. If you’re a PlayStation Plus member you get it for the best price of all - FREE. If you’re not, it will cost you $10; which isn’t a huge asking price for some online co-op fun with a friend. For a genuine 80s experience remember to put on a headband and crack open a nice bottle of orange Shasta. Radical!

Double Dragon Neon punches you in the face with 80s rock

If you’ve been gaming since the 80s, then odds are you know the joys of the Double Dragon. Both the fantastic game series and the 2 cool 4 school cartoon series. Yep, the 80s and 90s were jam packed with terrible gaming cartoons but they had a certain style which was hard not to love. It seems that Wayforward’s love of the 80s is in full effect in the latest Double Dragon. Neon hits digital shelves  September 11th and 12th and will set you back $10.00. While the combat looks slow, I have to tip my hat to that radical 80s tune in the background. Its like reliving Don Johnson’s classic foray into music — Heartbeat.
