Update: Majesco appears to be completely on board with the idea.
Original story:
Double Dragon Neon was a bit of a treat when it popped on to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 back in 2012. Sadly, the Wii U would never see a port, but we're sure that the talented development team at WayForward would have loved to have made this happen. The call was ultimately up to Majesco Entertainment who published the game.
In the tradition of demanding that every game ever made should be on Switch, SwitchCorps founder Joshua Michael French has made a compelling case for Double Dragon Neon to make its way over to Nintendo's portable powerhouse. Who wouldn't like to see this box art on their gaming shelf?
Of course, the question has been posed to WayForward prior to this and predictably they'd love to make it happen:
Majesco hasn't had such an easy time of it recently, however, with the company announcing in December 2016 that it was ceasing operations in the entertainment industry when the company was strangely merged with a biotech firm. However, the company is fighting back, operating independently once more, and since 2017 have re-entered the video game business.
While we wait for the lovely folks at WayForward to get approval from Majesco for a port of Double Dragon Neon, we always have River City Girls to look forward to. If this joint venture between WayForward and Arc System Works goes well, who knows - we might even see a gender-swapped version of Double Dragon landing on the Switch one day?

Yes please day one purchase! Make it happen.....everyone loves money!
If they put this out on Switch I’d totally get it, no question. Let’s see it!
I really need them to announce a physical edition so I can complain about its price !!
Would buy Neon, but Gba Double Dragon Advance was and still is the best in the Series, now that Remake in HD on the Switch would be really cool.
Its really average at best.
More co op brawlers the better
@YANDMAN source?
@jobvd Source of what???
Everyone seems to forget that Double Dragon IV is on Switch and that game is really cool! It even has the screen tearing from the PS4 version fixed! But i would get Double Dragon Neon in a heart beat!
@YANDMAN of your claim.
Double Dragon Neon is a nice title, sure. Very fun. But I don't need to play it again, personally. If it shows up on Switch, that'll be nice, but I won't double-dip.
The art by the amazing Genzoman was the highlight of the package.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww its you, where you been i've missed you. That's not a claim.
@Wavey84 Yep, that's a great game.
😂 Love the Bimmy and Jimmy references...ah it never gets old
It’s an ok game. I love WayForward but in all honestly, I think they could have done a better job on this one and I thought it was a bit too goofy. Double Dragon Advance would be nice to have. Or Arc System could make a new DD game with those awesome 2D graphics they are always making with those fighting games. Just a thought.
Oh snap I would love that game on the go.
I'd buy and play it again.

PC: Am I a joke to you?

This was a pretty fun re-boot back in the day. Visually a bit of a mess but the soundtrack (by Jake Kaufman no less) was insanely good. It's on Jake's bandcamp if anyone wants to listen to it.
I can never get enough Double Dragon. Bring them ALL on. I definitely heard about Neon late and would love a crack at it.
Have on PC. Sounds like good news though.
This needs to happen just for the excellent soundtrack! https://youtu.be/lW98Z9W1X5I
Hel yeahh! If this happends its a day one purchase and will buy one for my younger brother.
Make it co-op local and online please if they do make it.
@Wavey84 A bit hard since the licensing ran out and it had to be pulled from all digital stores a few weeks ago.
@barneygumble I agree, Double Dragon Advance is one of the best 2D fighters Ive played. Had to import it at the time as never had a release in Europe... Neon is quite good, the stand out for me is some of the tunes, Mango Tango (2nd stage) and the ending credits song are outstanding.
@MotionMan Double Dragon 4 was pretty terrible. Anything is better than that.
Great game I would definitely get it again.
@Robzilla I think the Double Dragon II the 360 got would argue that. From what I heard, it barely functioned.
There's already DD4 ok there... No one wants that garbage.
Add a vs mode where you can fight each other and play as enemies, too, I missed this on 360.
I have it on Steam, but i would certainly double-dip if it came to Switch. Awesome game.
Please give us a "Director's Cut" of Double Dragon Advance that includes all of the content that they were not able to include in the version that released.
