"Rare building a uniquely Rare game"
Man, that could be the worst thing ever or the best thing ever, depending on what 'era' of Rare we are talking about.

I'll be honest and say I think Battletoads is horrendously over-rated. I will however say that hopefully a new entry could change my mind.
I mean, I love KI. I'm super excited for Phantom Dust.
Unless MS came out and said "New Voodoo Vince/MechAssault/Crimson Skies" then there's really only so many ways to stop my heart.

Kinect Sports 4: Featuring the Battletoads
But indeed
I really hope Phil can turn the company around thoug, and get them to produce games that at least resemble the stuff they were originally known for.

THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Well Voodoo Vince is Phil's favorite game iirc.
I agree. There's good ideas in the original game but it wasn't done very well, the controls weren't great, and that difficulty...
The SNES game is horrible, it's just a remake of the 1st game but with 2-3 new levels. The Double Dragon crossover was pretty good.
The last thing i'd call Battletoads is overrated.
No, i don't mean it's underrated, but it was a great game for its time, with a lot of new ideas and mechanics, and above all, it oozed style.
For what it was, it was severely overlooked.
Also, about the difficulty. I was like, 13yo back then, or something like that, and i don't remember it being unbeatable or even way too hard. I found out that people had problem beating it years latter from the internet.

If Microsoft does make a new version of Battletoads I wonder if they'll start selling it at Amy's Baking Company.

Actually, the SNES Game was the best in the series, IMHO. And also, difficulty is now a negative point? what? It was a challenge. Can't say that about most of todays games.
There was only Rash, Zitz and Pimple.

they essentialy have their own nintendo with rare no idea why they don't go ham, I know there is going to be some on here that think you need to have original developers to make a game again but i disagree i like fresh hands on franchises and perhaps some input from the old school guys if it's wrong it's wrong but it has potential to be great - this should also be interesting inregards to Gears of war/Halo where things could be either up or down...
so whatever this original title is i can't wait

Necro bumping old threads is quick way to not make it to member. There's an OT of sorts for the Ms conference, this should have been posted there.

Turns out Microsoft took the combat assets of Scalebound and resused them in a AAA reboot of Battletoads.
I hope

It reminds you that Microsoft has a lot of IPs we've not seen for a while. Even if you take out the Rare IPs, I wonder if Microsoft are sleeping on all the other franchises they have from their PC division.
Midtown Madness, Top Spin, Crimson Skies, Dungeon Siege, Freelancer, MechAssault. Possible more? They used to publish quite a lot of games back in the day!
