New Battletoads coming in 2019

[Maelxich]

Some transformations look lame, the game looks slow and they took rash the cool one and made most of his moves gross out stuff, he went from big spiked boots to old crusty toe nails, from giant fists to disgusting fish. His only cool move is he turns into a shark. The their two still keep their themes of tech guy and buff guy yet rash feels like two different people were working on different parts of him. I will give it a chance but it’s not looking like a good game to me

It will probably get over 100 FPS in my system. I have an I9 9900k with 32GB of DDR4 3200mhz Memory, and a GTX 1080 Ti.

Eric Bauza who was the voice of TigerClaw from TMNT 2012 and Splinter in Rise of the TMNT has just announced he's the voice of Rash. He also voices other characters too.

From the latest trailer it looks faster and have a lot of different genres mixed in, but, alas, designs are still ****ing atrocious.

I love Battletoads too much to give this piece of crap a chance. Unless it's like really really good piece of crap.

[The Deadman]

This comes out on the 20th of this month.

[Turo602]

Honestly, I think the game looks great. I love when video games look like you're playing a cartoon and the animations look really good. I'm okay with the designs too. I get the push back, but after all they've shown and said, I think there's a great vision here that really suits Battletoads. Kind of like how everyone hated Wind Waker until they played it. Besides, I'm not nearly as invested in the Battletoads as I am say, Ninja Turtles, because it's the f*cking Battletoads... They're hardly what I'd consider "cool" these days, so playing up the zaniness definitely seems like the way to go.

[shredder orokusaki]

It comes next week! cant wait for it it looks great!

[TigerClaw]

[Sumac]

I never liked those grotesque Nikelodeon style of characters.
IMO, it doesn't suit any characters, much less ones who were initially made in different style.

[shredder orokusaki]

I have played 3 days so far and it is realy good and fun! I recomend it!

So did this even end up selling? 2 years later and I didn't hear anything about it after it came out. That said, do you guys really think Shredder's Revenge is going to make a bigger splash than this?

I hadn't even heard of this Battle Toads game until I read this thread.

Battle Toads is a NES classic and all, but was the property ever that big? Outside of fans of the series, it can't have sold that well. After all, I seriously doubt people who are aren't from the Battle Toads era have any connection to the franchise at all... many probably aren't even aware of it at all.

TMNT is a known name worldwide, even if it's nowhere near as big as many other famous properties out there. And Battle Toads has always been viewed as sort of a Ninia Turtles rip-off. So it's no wonder it's rather niche.

[Andrew NDB]

I mean, it was definitely popular for a while. There was an arcade game, NES game, a SNES game, a Gameboy game and a TV animated special. Action figures, too. Though Battletoads as a side-scrolling beat-em-up lasted only about as long as TMNT did. So they kind of came up and came down at the same time, so I'd say it's a fair comparison.

[Prowler]

Didn't know about the TV special. Was it any good?

Does Battle Toads have an interesting story or themes? Or is it a simple straight forward action series? I mean I don't think it comes from a comic book. It started out as a video game series. And back then, story in games was very limited. Especially in a beat em up game. No one was playing Battle Toads for its plot, that's for sure.

I know you said you don't get Nintendo Power, but I implicitly remember a big Battletoads comic in there as well. That did flesh out the story. It wasn't particularly deep but it was engaging enough for me, at that age.

If I saw the special I have completely forgotten it.

I see. Didn't know of it either.

Anyway seems like Battle Toads is a product of its time. Probably not much room for it in 2022 outside the retrogaming nostalgia scene.

Though so is the TMNT beat'em up. I doubt you're going to get kids coming off "Rise of the TMNT" going, "Ooh! A TMNT video game! I want it!" and, #1: saying that, or #2: ending up enjoying it.

"Shredder's Revenge" is only for nostalgists. They didn't even try to up-res the graphics or anything.

Oh definitely. Tbh the fact TMNT managed to get a revival in the early 2000s and even had a somewhat successful Nick cartoon later is rather surprising considering it's a franchise that seems to be all about nostalgia. Mention it to anybody and they'll shout Cowabunga and pizza.

It wasn't really that popular. People that played Battletoads back then were few. Younger gamers only heard of them through memes and the fact that Rare made the games.
