The series hasn’t seen a new entry in 26 years, and as much of a cult-hit as Battletoads is, that’s all it’s really ever been.
If this version of Battletoads is anything, it’s very self-aware. Initially thought up as an answer to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Battletoads are three larger than life amphibians who pretty much have the same claim to fame as Marvel’s Avengers… or so they think. Fast forward five years, and Battletoads is finally back, exclusively on the Xbox One and PC. As it enjoyed some success in the 1990s, it all became surreal until they got some attention back as two games in the series were a part of the superb 2015 compilation that was Rare Replay. When Microsoft acquired Rare almost two decades ago, one of the IPs they got in the deal was Battletoads, a beat-em-up that helped games of that era earn the “Nintendo hard” moniker. Yep, these toads are pretty full of themselves, but who wasn’t in the ’90’s?
