Double Dragon Neon is Available Now
Majesco and WayForward Re-imagine the Classic 2D Brawler; Available Now on PlayStationŽNetwork and Xbox LIVE Arcade
Edison, New Jersey –
September 12, in the year of our Lord 2012 – Majesco
Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of
video games for the mass market, announced today its highly
anticipated side-scrolling beat ’em up, Double Dragon: Neon, is
available now on PlayStationŽNetwork and Xbox LIVEŽArcade for
the Xbox 360Ž video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft.
Billy and Jimmy are back in action and more radical than ever,
as they return to the streets to save their shared love interest
Marian from a new foe, Skullmageddeon. Players pair up with
their pals for local “bro-op” play, all while kneeing, punching,
and high-fiving their way through new hyper-saturated worlds
designed to take players from the mean streets to robo-riddled
outer space. Billy and Jimmy aren’t alone, as long-standing foes
Williams, Linda, and even the brick-busting Abobo try and stop
them. Through the powers of magical mix-tapes (and the
occasional high-five), our Sōsetsuken fighting-style masters are
well equipped to crush any street scum in their path.
The classic 1987 original rocked the faces off gamers in arcades
across the world. Now renowned developer WayForward applies its
retro gaming prowess to bring this classic franchise to the 21st
century while celebrating its beat ‘em up roots. Double Dragon
Neon’s gameplay is coupled with a radical new art direction
pulled directly from the 1980s, in an acid-washed, electrical,
over-the-top celebration of that decade’s aesthetics. Rarely has
a franchise been so inspired by this historical period in
gaming.
Double Dragon Neon is now available on PlayStation Network for
$9.99 and on Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360 for 800 Microsoft
Points. As an added bonus, Playstation Plus members can get
Double Dragon Neon for FREE now thru January.
