Ported by QUByte Interactive.

QUByte Interactive will re-release 2002-released fighting game Rage of the Dragons for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch, the developer announced.

Rage of the Dragons first launched for arcade and Neo Geo in September 2002. It was developed by BrezzaSoft, Noise Factory, and Evoga Entertainment.

Here is an overview of the game, via QUByte Interactive:

Rage of the Dragons is a 2002 tag team head-to-head fighting game released for the Neo Geo, in which the player takes control of two characters and can switch between one or the other during gameplay.
The character who is not being controlled will slowly recover part of his or her energy while the other is fighting. The player can perform special combos in which both characters attack an opponent at the same time for added damage.
An auxiliary meter located at the bottom of the screen that slowly fills up when an attack connects with an opponent. When the meter is full, special moves can be performed (Ex: Counter Attacks, Super Moves, etc.).

Yessssss. I've been wanting to play this game but never got the chance to. Glad to see it's being ported to other consoles.

Yeahhh! It’s both a great tribute to Double Dragon and a great 2D fighter.

I thought this would just get a release in the Arcade Archives / ACA Neogeo set of games. Wonder why it isn't.
