the Genesis version sounds better Disagree. I and my best friend grew up in Genesis households, so I'll admit I'm pretty biased towards it over the SNES.

And one of them is a Street Fighter 1 reference, for some reason? My mind skipped over the 1 when I read this comment, because why would anyone do that? It's like they were deliberately trying to make a joke that no sensible person would get.

I just recalled a fun bit of trivia: the character designer for Battletoads, Kevin Bayliss, is the guy who redesigned Donkey Kong. It's especially evident in these DA pieces: kevbayliss.deviantart.com/gallery/It kinda gives some idea how the 'Toads might look if they stuck around longer than they did, I think.

Huh. Well. It looks like Microsoft is actually considering making this a thing again.

The light color option doesn't appear to be working with this article. This has now been corrected.

Shadow Boss is actually supposed to be the final boss of Double Dragon II on Supreme Warrior difficulty IIRC.

Battletoads & Double Dragon could REALLY use a rom hack to make it more beatable. The asteroids-clone stage is incredibly hard. It's a shame about that and the un-Double Dragonness of it all, as it's got a great pace, awesome music and controls super simple yet really well.

He's just called "mysterious fighter", same in the TGCD version which added FMV ( www.vgmuseum.com/end/td/a/dd2.htm ).

A friend of mine actually spent a few months mastering Battletoads and subsequently posted a multi-part Let's Play on the Yue Toob. It's an impressive feat, and illustrates that the tragedy of Battletoads was not having a password system or infinite continues.

Wow what perfect timing this article has in being published the day before Shovel Knight announced Battletoads will guest star in it. That's...really weird. That Battletoads gets no games for 2 decades and the very week they get a guest appearance in something, this was published.
Weiiiird.

The pause music is also removed for this version, probably for the better.
Blasphemy!

Blasphemy! lmao, agreed If you type in battletoads in youtube, the very first suggestion is "Battletoads pause music". Youtube knows where it's at, that tune is banging. Scott Pilgrim The Game referenced that music too, with a similar pause menu song too.

I got the NES version And it doesn't look reddish, but I noticed why. The emulators have a problem with the hue of the game they never show the colors properly. JNES looks all red and nesticle looks too dark and still kind of reddish. If you fiddle with the hue in Nesticle the game actually looks like in the console. I can provide better proof later by connecting the console to the PC ,There is a similar problem with battletoads and Double dragon , where the first level floor looks blue, but it's actually light blue , similar to the tone of the genesis and SNES versions. I will later take a photo of the game running in the TV, and if i can capture gameplay with a capture card i have. have this youtube video of a gameplay direct from a TV someone uploaded to youtube . This is how it looks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G83LppecVGA or like this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmK8W2CwWQc
