Switch Limited Run #108: Double Dragon Neon Classic Edition

The Lee brothers are back, and they brought a mixtape. The Switch Limited Run #108: Double Dragon Neon Classic Edition for Nintendo Switch is one of the most fun, creative collector's packages we've seen from any publisher. The NES-style dust cover that fits over the Switch case immediately sets the tone: this is a love letter to retro gaming culture.

The soundtrack comes on a mini-CD stored in a hinged NES cartridge storage case, which itself fits inside an accurate NES-sized box. It's packaging inception, and we're here for it. The cassette mixtape with a pencil "rewinder" is peak '80s humor baked into physical form.

An empty aluminum Dragon Kick Soda Can adds to the absurdist charm that made Neon such a blast to play. Billy and Jimmy figurines, a double-sided metal coin featuring Skullmageddon and Double Dragon emblems, a set of three menu screen cards, and a reversible poster round out a package that's practically a time capsule. Double Dragon Neon understood that the best way to honor the arcade era was to celebrate it with a wink, and this Classic Edition bottles that same energy.

Every piece in this box has personality. For Switch collectors who appreciate when a publisher goes all-in on a theme, this is the gold standard.
