The premise, in the publisher's words
Double Dragon Neon is a 2012 beat 'em up video game in the Double Dragon series. It was developed by WayForward Technologies under license from Million, which owned the rights to the franchise at the time. Series creator Yoshihisa Kishimoto was consulted during the game's development, and described Neon as "a very western adaptation" with certain mechanics taken from the previous games, and a "mood and feel" that reminded him of the original arcade game. The game has been described as a parody.
