There's certainly nothing wrong with celebrating the past and polishing up classic game concepts for modern consumption, but Double Dragon 4 is a prime example of how not to do a revival - which is ironic when you consider that the WayForward-made Double Dragon Neon did a much better job back in 2012. The use of NES-style graphics isn't a negative in itself, but too little has been done to refine and improve gameplay which, even back in the late '80s, was showing its age against a new breed of slicker and more enjoyable examples of the genre. The co-op focus of the Switch and its Joy-Con controllers does at least mean it's easy to rope in another player for a trip down memory lane, but this is nonetheless a crushing disappointment given the incredible potential of the franchise, and should only be purchased by diehard Billy and Jimmy fans.

I'm a huge fan of the Double Dragon series, and I had high hopes for this "second fourth" entry (I had long considered Super Double Dragon to be the real DD4). Double Dragon IV certainly looks the part, though perhaps a bit too much; the developers stuck a little too close to an authentic 8-bit art style, and it shows. The music is inoffensive but forgettable. The gameplay, though, is just mediocre. It never really clicked with me, and fighting just doesn't have the same feel as the earlier games in this franchise.
