Majesco Entertainment proudly presents Double Dragon: Neon making its Nintendo Switch debut today! Developed by veteran studio WayForward (Shantae, Mighty Switch Force) and brought to Nintendo Switch by Midnight City, Double Dragon: Neon is a larger-than-life reimagining of the 80s brawler classic, infused with 90s Saturday morning cartoon humor and packed with brodacious co-op action. Martial arts heroes Billy & Jimmy Lee set out on a quest to rescue their friend Marian from the skeletal Skullmageddon, the most over-the-top antagonist the series has ever known.
It’s up to players to take radical action and smash their way through legions of expendable bad guys. The legendary bruiser Abobo stomps into the fight alongside whip-cracking dominatrix Linda, minion supreme Williams and a cast of other foes and brutal bosses. High-five to share health, collect mixtapes to customize your stats and moves, and perfectly time your dodges to activate Gleam – all to put a super-powered beatdown on your foes.
Built from the ground up for co-op, the bravest can go solo, but Double Dragon: Neon plays best with another hero on the couch. Don’t worry about your teammate ‘accidentally’ stealing all your power-ups either. Players can share health with a high five, or psych their partner out with a low five and steal some, if you’re feeling less than righteous. Get wiped out early? ‘Borrow’ an extra life from your pal – they won’t mind. Much.
Channeling the spirit of over-the-top Saturday morning cartoons, Double Dragon: Neon brings a fresh serving of nostalgic vibes back to gaming, with couch co-op encouraged. A cult favorite among brawler aficionados, fans have been calling for Neon to come to Nintendo Switch for years, after its original 2012 release and 2014 Steam re-release. Now it’s back in action and as funny as ever. Double Dragon: Neon is now available for NA Nintendo Switch players and will be available for EU in the coming weeks.
