    Battletoads are easily one of my favorite games ever. I grew up playing both of the SNES games, Battlemaniacs and Battletoads & Battlemaniacs. I always had a blast playing with my brothers these games back then, but now looking at the Arcade version I realize how much I've missed out. In this one, you can see the clear difference in size between Pimple and the other toads. I always liked playing as Pimple but they all have something that makes them cool. I like how chaotic this one is, the scenery is incredible and feels almost like a retro action movie. The story was hilarious and made me think of the AVGN who combined film into his videos. Loved the nostalgia, would be fun to play this one together

      @@Consolous Thanks for the awesome comment!! I’d say the best thing about this game, for those of us who grew up with Battletoads is that it gives the immediate fun we were looking for in the original, and like you said, more differentiation between the toads.

    First of since I'm relentlessly putting a lot into this terminator tune I'm working on molkultors appearance was was epic AF and that theme was on some top tier movie score level. btw punished came out before battletoads they had that arcade board in a retro arcade in phoenix when i lived there and we 3 layered it with a bunch of beer and THAT WAS ALOT OF FUN especially watching my pals getting tore up by the snake boss since they didn't know what to do and of course i was zitz he's like their Donatello and I'm really good at this one! i cant really compare this to other beat'em ups its got its own special magic for me

      @@StevenCusic Awesome, man. That must be the coolest arcade in Phoenix-if it had this one it had lots of obscures. One thing we didn’t mention is the music by the always great David Wise, and it along with the over the top design really does impart a funky early 90’s magic.

    I've never seen this game in an arcade. I wonder how widespread it was. It definitely looks easier than the NES version.

      We’ve read it was a very limited release, possibly in the low hundreds! And anything is easier than Battletoads for the NES if you’ve got infinite credits, absolutely. We’d argue that it’s easier than the NES version even if it shared the same number of lives and continues, though!

      Ooh, a controversial comment! This game is definitely more easy like a Sunday morning than the original, but the original can, in theory, give that special sense of satisfaction when you clear it! Hopefully Shtick can shield us from that game for as long as possible. 😅
