New Battletoads coming to Xbox One, prompting my therapist to put a down payment on her new yacht

The year was 1991 and Curtis Silver of KnowTechie was still a year away from entering the hell-halls of high school. My NES had received fairly decent usage, from games such as Bases Loaded, Tetris, Super Mario, and Paperboy. There hadn’t been a true challenge, something to create a lifelong anxiety, on the platform. That’s when Battletoads appeared, a game so frustratingly annoying that it spawned my first rage quit.

I wonder why there was no demonstration. Its not like this will require the work of something like Halo or gears. I love this series and hope its done right. Its supposed to release this year yet NOTHING was shown except a promise

Your right. Still wouldve liked to see something. Its 2.5D afterall

I really hope they go for pixel art, but I have a feeling they are going to go for that jibjab ecard style of animation where they just stretch the limbs around for movement. Seems to be popular in indie style games.

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?

Concertoine504d ago

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

KillBill504d 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.

Crows90504d ago (Edited 504d ago )

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

MadLad504d 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?
