We Need More Battletoads

Jacob S. from Link-Cable writes: "There have been many series from the early 90’s that have been lost to time and faded out of your gaming catalog. These radical and tubular classics were the staples of what is now coined retro gaming, but never managed to find a home on newer hardware and have been waiting on the classic consoles of the past until their time to shine comes about once more. The hard-hitting, curse ensuing and over the top frustrating experience that is Battletoads is one such classic franchise that hasn’t been able to make a home in today’s world, but now is the time to bring back the sly Toads for a new generation of gamers to enjoy… Or throw their controllers at the TV. One or the other, we just want some new Battletoads."

Rare doesn’t look like they’re ever going to return to any of their classic IPs

Moonman2400d ago (Edited 2400d ago )

They honestly need to either let other studios (like Nintendo, Naughty Dog and Retro Studios) license their IP's for mutual compensation or just sell them. Rare now stands for VERY RARE (that they even make a decent game). lol

given how basically nobody from the golden days is at Rare nowadays, I feel that's for the best. The new KI wasn't developed by them and did a good job at least gameplay-wise. You just need to find someone interested in making a game based around one of their franchises (who's not going to screw things up, obviously).

This is the game that MS should have let Platinum work on

One of the most memorable fights I ever played. I almost didn't want to pull the trigger at the end.

I personally think there's better on gamepass then what was listed. State of decay imo is better then anything listed. Recore seemed alright for what I played on there also.

Is Recore any better to play now?

Concertoine503d ago

Yeah, especially on One X or Series X. It kinda feels like a PS2 platformer, but in a good way. I liked it.

KillBill503d ago

Odd that he specified 'Game Pass Ultimate' instead of just 'Game Pass' just so he could include a relatively weak choice comparably in 'Alice: Madness Returns' which is available with EA Play. SoD was a far better overlooked game to have listed.

Crows90503d ago (Edited 503d ago )

Dont know why they keep listing ultimate. Gamepass is the better value....but the reason I think is that ultimate includes online gwg.

MadLad503d ago

I mean, as someone who games both on PC and Xbox, Ultimate makes a whole lot of sense. There's console exclusives and PC exclusives. And, at the end of the day, EA Play is still a perk of having Ultimate. When I open Gamepass, the EA Play catalogue is sitting right there for me. It's as much part of Gamepass as any other title I'm looking at, right?
