The game was initially released in 2012 for Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows, and later ported to the Nintendo Switch among other platforms. The gameplay of "Double Dragon Neon" stays true to the roots of the classic "Double Dragon" series, with players controlling either Billy or Jimmy Lee as they fight against an endless stream of enemies in a bid to rescue Marian from the clutches of the evil Abobo. The game features a modern aesthetic with neon-lit graphics and a synth-heavy soundtrack that gives it a distinctive, retro-futuristic vibe.
