Love for dragons and not toads?

Via Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade you can now play a new version of Double Dragon! I can tell you I'm totally excited to try this game out someday. Oh the game's called Double Dragon Neon (weird title). But it works.

I really like the logo. Finally a new iteration of the beloved beat 'em up game. I mean the last DD game we got was a remake (albeit a kick ass one) from Million. And that was Double Dragon Advance (2001). Yikes. But what of another beloved franchise of mine? The protagonists even teamed up with Billy and Jimmy! Figured it out yet?

That's right. The boys in green need a revival. They've been sitting on the shelf for waaay too long now. We need a new iteration of the Toads in the next gen (won't hold my breath though). But could you imagine if the right studio got the rights to develop this game?

Stuff it with hidden secrets, extra lives to hunt for, blistering vehicle levels, offline AND online multiplayer, time attack mode (with ghosts), survival mode, tons of weapons, simplistic controls, 12-14 stages, cheat codes, bare bones story (keep it simple okay?), tons of wacky combat animations, multiple difficulty levels (and rewards for completing it), and you have a recipe for a great game. 

One can dream. But for now I'll just settle in and play some Battletoads on the NES. Time to get Mad, Bad, and CRAZY!
