I hate the way all of that looks.

I still hate the art style and WTF did they do to the Dark Queen? That redesign is almost Netflix She-Ra level bad.

I get why they went for a more streamlined and stylized look but unlike my initial displeasure with Streets of Rage 4, I am not seeing enough gameplay hooks for me to get over my apprehension.

I hope it does well for the franchise’s future.

Too many genres represented and it looks like a mobile game.

Hype…

Been looking for this track.

It just looks ugly as fuck and feels like a cornier version fo Street Shark’ ā€œJawsomeā€ nonsense.

I dont know why you’d greenlight that art style. It looks so off that you dont even get a good nostalgia kick from it. KI did better by the toads than the actual toad game.

Your track for some reason won’t play unless I listen to it on youtube but Minotaur is also a really good choice from GoW1.

I doubt they were going for nostalgia at all. They are clearly going after modern kids and not the ones who grew up with battletoads.

Which is insane to me cause like, all the Battletoads fans are gonna be people our age who played them all those years ago. I really don’t know who they were trying to appeal to with this artstyle. Even as a standalone game it looks bad imo, let alone how huge of a departure it is from OG Battletoads.

That Dark Queen redesign is a joke.

New Battle Toads game looks like a Flash game from Newgrounds, and they didn’t get the original Voice actress who did the Dark Queen of the Battle Toads Cartoon in the 90s, Kathleen Barr?

Hard Fail

This song is a reason why I replay GOW1 at times…especially the first 30 seconds.

When the track plays and the Minotaurs are coming at me…I just let it play until they attack me…then I parry and start wailing on them.

It fits.

Shit…now I want to go play GOW1.

Holy shit, did not know Trixie from My Little Pony, Dot Matrix from Reboot and Cologne from Ranma 1/2 share a voice actress.

the most offensive thing is how Dark Queen looks, imo. Her old design was sexy. This new Dark Queen is trash…and I can’t help but wonder if this is partly the result of the modern trend of certain people who want fictional female characters to be as physically unattractive as possible, since apparently sex appeal is a bad thing with those chumps…y’know the type…the kind of people that design a character like ā€œTrailblazerā€, the fatzo superhero from that ā€œNew Warriorsā€ book everyone was roasting on youtube a few months ago. :rofl: hahah I still laugh at the very idea that we’re to pretend she can run…without getting winded in about 4 or 5 seconds. That first picture shows her running forward, leading that pitiful superhero team…hilarious :laughing:
