Battletoads: Official Gameplay Showcase

Not my style of game but it was fun last year when I tried it, and it seems to have improved a lot too. Digging the artstyle. Definitely gonna play through it with my fiancè.

It's crazy how far this has come along since the initial reveal. It's looking really solid, which I was not at all expecting to think when it was first revealed.
I'd say the artstyle for it fits, having played a good bit of it. I'd be excited to see what else this studio does next.
Sadly, yes, it's local co-op only. The game is amazing nonetheless, played it with a friend and is both fun and challenging.
This looks so good, one of my most anticipated games of the year lol. I love these quirky smaller games.
Ugh, downloaded it last night from Gamepass and was hoping it would be there today when I got off work.
Streets of Rage 4 have online coop, there is no reason why BT don't have it while backed by almighty MS.
Battletoads and SoR4 aren't the same genres. Not really comparable.
Seems like everyone has been overwhelmingly positive about it since it was re-revealed.
I personally do not like this tone they gave the game. The brutality of the first one is all gone with the big hiting moves. A chicken? really... ok... where are the boots with spikes, the drills and that stuff, it seems like they made it rated E and don't get me started on the Dark Queen lol. The art style is not what i wanted for this game. I mean it's not ugly, it is what it is but I just don't like this art for this game at all :( Sad to have waited all these years to finally get a new game and just end up not liking it at all.

Difficulty explains why no online coop. Look how precise you need to be. Any lag would kill the gameplay.
There's a whole lot of people who generally dont understand that the original game was aimed at children who were fans of the TMNT franchise and not adult men.
I think that's valid, but the animators still deserve a lot of credit because the new version animates worlds better than the original.I personally do not like this tone they gave the game.

You stated the haters were'nt hating on it blindly, when I saw a lot of comments about how the new Battletoads was aimed at children when the original was "edgy" and clearly aimed at adults.
The arcade game is certainly more violent, but this feels pretty in line with the NES version to me, which I'd argue is more memorable...I personally do not like this tone they gave the game.

Also I've seen a lot of Dark Queen commentary, and we'll find out soon whether this happens or not, but maybe she transforms later in the game? Her current design is obviously more modest, but she is allying with the Toads to take on the new threat, so it could just be a way to make her seem like she's turned a new leaf. In the end maybe she won't, and while her look is certainly different, I don't think its some great travesty that she isn't a 1:1 representation of her old self in the new style.
Still too many dislikes that are unwarranted in my opinion :(
By the way the music sounds awesome:
