Ranking Every BATTLETOADS GAME! Still waiting for it to come to wii though! Enjoy the ranking! And the thumbnail was made by Serqeo. It looks great! #battletoads #xboxseriesx #battletoads2020
Im pretty sure the Genesis port of Battletoads is based on the Japanese NES release, so people who want the tighter controls of the NES version and the lower difficulty of the Genesis version could play the Japanese NES release.
It was an awesome surprise seeing and learning about Battletoads Arcade for the first time at the Galloping Ghost recently. The guy who played through it with me was plenty competent and we laughed quite a bit. I hadn't realized it was on Rare Replay so I'm excited to do another playthrough with my young sons, one of whom can't get enough of messing around in the original and B&DD on NES. Cheers
It took me 3 years to beat NES version, which I got around 94-95. Especially hard for me, except the speed tunnel, were the snake level and the speed roller, when chased by a huge nasty flashy circle. B&D was IMHO a relatively easier game. Still above most of the NES games (except Lion King and couple others). Many years after that, around 2017-18, I found that there are versions for SNES, SEGA, Arcade. I am still playing more casualty with friends from time to time.
Battlemaniacs only has 2 bosses and might be the easiest parts of the game. Also 4 of the 6 levels are reimagined from the NES one if anyone couldn’t already tell. The bonus rounds are a nice touch.
The new game should have kept the original artstyle and used mechanics and gore from ARCADE. Nobody wants a kiddie beat em up. We want 90s edgy stuff from the OG Mortal Kombat era. My fave is Battle toads and Double dragon. Great gameplay variety, fun. Challenging, but never unfair. Quite possible to beat after a few tries even without savestates. It's all about the practice.
I grew up with Battletoads Double Dragon, and I'm kind of shocked it's not higher on the list, I was under the impression that it was the most popular one, but I guess I could be wrong? I'm not sure where I heard it was the most popular... 🤔
I think most people just play or meme about the original Battletoads game. Not a lot of people really bothered to play any of the Battletoads games seriously, although "Battletoads/Double Dragon" is probably better suited for people who just want to play through a co-op beat'em up.
Anxiously waiting for the sun to come up so I could meet up with my friends at the bus stop and continue perfecting our jumps. Ridin around with some of them on our pegs. Going to the corner store for Yoohoo and Now&Laters. Chillin at the house with everyone sprawled out either on the water bed or bean bags, munchin on Capt Crunch and playing Battletoads on Nintendo. I'd give anything to go back to those days❤
If you want to play a game that is harder than Battletoads, try Holy Diver for the NES. It's actually a good game, despite the terrible music. Very hard though. Harder than Battletoads.
Most people never get pass the turbo tunnel for one reason - they hit the jump button while ascending the ramps, and they fall before reaching the other side of the "cliff". You don't hit the jump button because that way your wehicle looses momentum and you fall short, all you have to do is ascend the ramp, and DON'T PUSH ANYTHING. Then, and only then you'll land on the other side. Most gamers never get that and argue that they hit jump, and the toad still didn't make the jump, yeah, controversial decision, but you don't hit jump to get further.
As someone who beat the classic games legit, I like the NES original the best followed by Battletoads and Double Dragon. Battlemaniacs is the worst (half the stages and no personality). Arcade is the hardest if you're not into credit feeding. Also, too repetitive. I don't care for it much.
The Genesis version of Battletoads is based on the Japanese NES release, which means it is a bit easier than the original US NES release. Although the Genesis version of the game has better graphics, it is debatable whether the OST is an improvement. I think the NES OST is better in some cases, although the Genesis version of Surf City is a banger. The NES version of the game also has tighter controls. I prefer the tighter controls on the NES, although I admit that it's possible to get used to the looser/floatier controls of the Genesis version. One other key difference is that the Genesis version had a bug fixed which made it impossible to beat the level "Clinger Winger" in co-op. This bug was also fixed in the EU NES release and probably the JP release as well. The Genesis version might be my pick if I just wanted to casually play through the game in co-op mode, but for maximum challenge, the US NES release is the way to go.
Personally I think the Amiga conversion has the best music even though there wasn't enough disk space to include the 3 best tracks of the game unfortunately@@herbivorouscyborg2398
Battletoads 2020 was a flaming bag of dog shit top to bottom and the fact that it isn't resting at the very bottom of the list completely destroys the credibility of this list.
I'm just one of the casualties the games left behind at the turbo tunnel, I only made it beyond that deal only once on the NES, but I got murdered by that game, I had better luck with the gameboy version though, made it to Robo-manus but couldn't take him down either... I'm just not surprised to see Battlemaniac that hard, it's Battletoads in it's tradition alright, best to describe the Toads on the NES and SNES versions like a big bully, once you get a trashing from the turbo tunnel, you understand why all too well... Beating those games are even worth giving a medal for that achievement... Congrats for making it past the turbo tunnel... Patience is simply not enough on this one..
Hey if you're a young zoomer dude and haven't beat any of the classic Battletoads, don't worry, we millennials can't beat them either lol. NO ONE CAN! (And anyone on RU-vid supposedly beating the game is just using optical illusions!!)
Not even close. Silver Surfer's difficulty is overrated. Watch Ryu's "debunking the difficulty" video on it and you'll see that it's not really harder than other NES shmups. Holy Diver is a much more difficult game. I'd also argue that Battletoads is harder as well.
I don’t know man, this video is weak. I’ve played all of these games. Beaten most. Played through the arcade a few times. At an actual arcade. With actual money. And it didn’t eat up a ton of quarters. These games are beatable. What kind of wimp can’t master the NES version or the Game Boy version?
I mean I agree, these are certainly beatable, but most players don't have the patience to practice the levels over and over again. Takes a certain type of person is all i'm saying.
Good for you. Obviously you’re the outlier and most people find them very difficult. So no need to sh*t on the creator’s video and call people names over a video game.
Let’s be frank here, The reason why the 2020 version of the battle toads game failed, Doesn’t have the violence and doesn’t have the swearing because of political correctness. Clinton is the reason why they made wokeness so popular now. No wonder these games today are pieces of shit!
