I just picked them both up on my ps3. Duck Tales looks absolutely amazing though the pogo stick controls are as annoying as they were in the 80s. They got the original cast together though i can't help of think of the Time Machine when i here Scrooge talk. They all sound pretty good for not being together since the early 90s on the show. They've added a lot of stuff to the levels including using the cash you gather to unlock art and music. You can even go diving in the money vault and swim now.
Double Dragon Neon i was a bit unsure of but for the price it's a neat reboot. It's full of references to the 80s (which it seems to be set in still) and games/cartoons with a villain who sounds like Skeletor. It's a challenging game with some funny dialogue and an 80s style action movie soundtrack that makes you think it's 1984 again. I think you get more banter and scenes when you have 2 players though as you can even highfive them. Every level you beat ends with one of the brothers playing air guitar and you learn movies via cassette tapes of music. It's a very tongue in cheek game and it's surprisingly difficult mixing in some contra style platform moves and such. I laughed out loud when you get to the map screen and your character icon is the original NES sprite.
Double Dragon Neon Official Soundtrack Music: City Streets 2 (Mango Tango - Neon Jungle) - YouTube An example of the music. they're nearly all on youtube i think.
The composer has the entire soundtrack out for free. you can donate a bit if you want.

listen to the opening riff of this song and tell me it doesn't sound like the old mtv sign on with the astronaut in the early 80s.
