Microsoft Files Battletoads Trademark

[blackrave]

Seriously though I'd like to see another Toads game, but every level has to be Nintendo-hard like the hover-bike level. Fuck Dark Souls, play that game if you want challenge.

Even someone mentioning hover-bike level gives me shivers
And don't get me started on that snake/worm-thing level

I played battletoads to death. This will be awesome... as long as they keep the difficulty.

Hopefully keeping the difficulty would also make it so it's not broken anymore. The game can't even be completed with two players because they decided to let you beat each other up and push each other around.

What? That wasn't feature? O_O

Rare's brutally difficult beat-em-up Battletoads might be making a comeback.

...as a Kinect-exclusive party game!

I've never played the old Battletoads, but from what I've seen, nobody is going to put out a game like that today (certainly not Microsoft or "Rare" at least).

Wait, does that, does that mean we can start calling Gamestop and asking about the Battletoads preorder?

Came here to post this, you beautiful bastard.

Guys it's alright, we won't even get a new Battletoads game, that's too risky and worth the money.

We'll be seeing them in Project Spark.

I wouldn't be surprised. After what they did with Banjo Kazooie Nuts n Bolts, it could just be another way to attach the Kinect to a title. After all, they need to justify its purchase now that they've made it "optional".

While the series has a certain amount of nostalgic cache, it's pretty hard to ruin something that wasn't that good to begin with.

Back in the day it was a great game with a lot of new gameplay ideas compared to other NES games of the time. Yeah, playing it today... it's just nostalgia - and frustration when you get to the turbo tunnel.
