Battletoads Returns On Xbox One With A Brand New Game Next Year
The notoriously difficult Battletoads series is making a return next year, with an Xbox One-exclusive title.
While the initial reveal trailer was brief and did not include gameplay, we saw some feature bullet points: as per the original arcade and NES game, up to three players can play together on their couch (taking on, we assume, the roles of Zit, Rash, or Pimple).
While the new Xbox One title will feature 2.5D hand-drawn 4K art, it will also have "Body Morphing Genre Mash-Ups," something that was a big draw for the original game (along with its extreme difficulty).
Battletoads is slated for release sometime in 2019.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
