New Battletoads coming in 2019
 

a new Battletoads game was announced during Microsoft's E3 2018 Briefing. Its coming out in 2019.

Finally.

I hope they bring David Wise to do the soundtrack again.

In the announcement trailer you hear a remix of the original theme from the NES.

Soooo now people can call Gamestop asking about Battletoads without trollin.

Here's the new E3 2019 Trailer for Battletoads. It features gameplay.

Wow, those character designs are bad....

It doesn't bother me. I guess people were expecting something more like the NES Games. Or something that looks like this design.

Man who Let Platinum Dunes make the designs

The design you see there is from Killer Instinct. One of the Battletoads is a playable character.

Awful designs. It's like they went hard "Rise of the TMNT" with things.

Agreed. When I first saw them, I thought it was a parody video. :tlol:

Yeah.....I'm not a fan of the designs. It looks like bad fan art. I was hoping they'd go for a more 2.5D route. And what have they done to the Dark Queen?!

You can't have sexy villainess anymore.

Soon you won't be have proper villains, because, if somebody does something bad in game it certainly will offend some snowflakes. Or they will think that if villain does something bad, it will obviously inspire little kids to do something bad. As if there is no difference between reality and a video game. Or at least as if those snowflakes don't see this difference.

Yep. It began with rape in stories. If you have a bad guy going bad things in a fictional story (i.e., rape or whatever) then your story is pro-rape. Now writers have to sit back and go, "OK, this is a very bad completely fictional guy... but what bad things can he do that SJWs will be OK with him doing?" and that kills storytelling.

Bizarre.

Man, it didn’t take many posts before some started crying about lack of T’n’A. But honestly, I agree. Going from Dominatrix Drag Queen to that, it’s a pretty boring villain design.

Wait, did they show their version of the Dark Queen yet and I missed it?

Isn't this her new design?

Well THAT'S underwhelming. And yet perfectly in line with this new artwork. :tlol:

more of that cheap kim possible style art.

I feel the art style fits perfectly with how Battletoads would look in a modern setting, they're over-the-top cheesy trying too hard to be KEWL and what they looked in the 90's reflected that back then.

The new Evil Queen is so muted and bland in design she looks like she comes from a completely different game then battletoads 2019

It's not about T'n'a. It's about redesign pandering to fragile idiots who can't live without being offended by something.

Oh jesus christ... that's not even in the same stratosphere as what the Dark Queen is.

So between this and the addition of Banjo to Smash, does anyone else just think Microsoft ought to sell the Rare IPs back to Nintendo?

Yes. If only so I can play as the Battletoads in Smash Bros..

Didn't Nintendo essentially hand over the IPs of Banjo, Conker, etc. to Rare/Microsoft as a parting gift around 2002?

Yeah, at least the toads are recognizable; toad with shades, toad without shades and olive big boy. But here... Purple hair I guess... Like, even if you'd do a non-sexy Evil Queen, her key traits would be purple eye shadow, high thin eye brows and that pop-collar Dracula cape

The good 'ole days...

All I know is, Andrew picked an unfortunate screenshot. I look and I don't see no Dark Queen, I see Michael Jackson. :tlol:

plot twi-heehee-st

I see Shego fused with Drakken. As a kid.

Funny how Battletoads happened. Because the developers wanted a game that capitalized on the TMNT. and that game went on to become beloved and a classic.

Seems to me most people have a love-hate relationship with the game due to its difficulty and buggy two-player mode.

I'm sure a lot of us do but I doubt it would happen. Makes sense to since some of them would likely preform better on their platforms, though Nintendo themselves don't seem interested in them. Phil Spencer seems like he's somewhat okay with some of their games appearing on the Switch, although I have my reservations on why I don't completely buy that assumption. MS may have plans for them such as KI and Battletoads. Banjo appearing in Smash might be used as a marketing tool to get some of those players interested in a new Banjo if the series ever gets green-lighted.

No actually. Rare just become a second-party developer for Nintendo until 2002. The Big N already owned DK and Star Fox (of which Rare only worked on one game for the series) but Rare have always had IP ownership of Banjo, Conker, Battletoads, Jetpac, etc.

BattleToads Roar :trolleye:

Battletoads Ribbit

Battletoads Hop

Battletoads Croak

This would be a good subtitle for this game.
As in Battletoads croaked once more after this game. :lol:

If this is the direction they're gonna be going in from now on..... hopefully they croaked for last time.

Looks like a hot trash.

Animation is good, but gameplay is completely missing the mark.

this looks like garbage
why why why hahah

The gameplay looks like it could have been very fun and has a great fluid and sharp look.

Too bad its showcasing some of the ugliest designs since Rise. Holy ugly hot steaming diarrhea. With corn.
