I mean considering the original Arcade release, the NES releases, and GBA Double Dragon Advance which also borrows heavily from the Arcade releases of DD1 and 2 had a grit-like aesthetic with a more serious tone as opposed to the oversaturated colors and surfer dude bros-like comic presentation in Neon. I mean the over the top silliness and synthwave aesthetic is just something I never associated Double Dragon with. However a good game Neon may be, it's noticeably different from the rest of the main Double Dragon titles. That Neon lost the more serious tone for the sake of goofiness and 80's retro stuff. Of the two Technos style Beat'Em Ups, it was the Nekketsu games that were more comical in nature. My main problem with Double Dragon Neon was that tonally really didn't fit with the rest of the series. I just never considered it to be a good Double Dragon game to be honest.
