IGN report that Double Dragon: Neon is an ‘80s style reboot of the Double Dragon series, slated for release on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this July. You’ll play as Jimmy and Billy Lee again, and fight a villain named Skullmageddon.

The “Neon” in the game’s title refers to the game’s setting and emphasis on neon lights and bright colours. Double Dragon: Neon, like previous Double Dragon games, will let you fight using your fists and legs, as well as with weapons that you pick up along the way. You can find more screenshots of the game over at the IGN link above.
