do we lose access to Rash after the one month 'preview' ? That is the impression I got from the warning message when you select him

 

[Zubz]

More like Pimple, Zitz and the GOAT:

Huh. I mean, I think it'd be best if Rash was the only guest character from Battletoads, but I think the Dark Queen would be the best fit for a second character (Aesthetically, she'd visually/aesthetically fit the most, but clearly, the Toads take priority).

- Maybe add Zitz and Pimple as alternate costumes

I could toadally see that working. I mean, I thought the ram horns were always more of Pimple's thing, anyway.

There is going to be a trailer today for Rash. I think I read Spinal will also be featured in it.

Yeah, Max made sure to note that Spinal was featured in it. Like, he was very clear about that. I have no idea why, though, unless... Wait, wasn't he Kim Wu's rival in KI2? And, like, both of their endings were cut off if you didn't kill the other in Arcade Mode, because the Kim Wu/Spinal would kill Spinal/Kim Wu?

I think I've figured out who the tease is, guys. Granted, it could just be because he's on the cabinet so both Spinal and Rash are seen as mascot characters for Rare. But that seems like a stretch.

MS is trying to make Rash and the Battletoads into mascots and I am COMPLETELY okay with this.

Same. Bring it on. They're green like the XBOX logo too.

Yes. He's essentially a beta character so play as him as much as you can because we won't see him again until Season 3 launches.

New news, new thread. Someone go make.

That was a fantastic trailer! Who is the teaser for at the end?

Kim Wu

 

[Jpope]

They showed off a golden pole at the end of the Battletoad crossover. That must be a snippet of a sneak peak for their next character reveal for season 3.

 

[hwalker84]

That version of Rash was more polished than the version we have right now.

That was Kim Wu's nunchaku.

I'm listening to Temperance & Vengeance on Spotify and... man. What a bummer. The in-game version is so, so, so much better.

I know everyone's talking about Rash and all, and I thought he was a little fun. Gonna have to really learn more about how to use him I think before he really gets fun for me...

The thing I remembered most from when Ms. Loftus spoke about the Windows release is that all our existing controllers and fight sticks would "just work"

I'm assuming/hoping this means that they fixed the problem with the RT and LT buttons not working on PC when using an Xbox One stick.

 

[Bulbasaur]

Trailer hit me right in the nostalgia.

It's funny that this is the one time I've thought " Should I buy an Xbone?"

Nah.

This is from the arcade stick thread just recently:

Finger pointing? What do you want us (Mad Catz) to do?

The sub type and way the VID/PID works is totally up to Microsoft. It's not on us to get it working with PC. I've talked to Microsoft about this since the first PC controller driver was released. I've talked to them at events about it. They are aware -- it honestly just isn't a big priority for them.

However, Adam Heart (Keits from Iron Galaxy) tweeted that MS mentioned they expect to get it working fully before KI PC is released.

Keep your fingers crossed for sooner.

 

[twinturbo2]

Joanna Dark would be random as hell!!!

I don't think so. She'd fit right in with a storyline to take down Orchid for going rogue.

I'd be sort of random, but I'd allow it.

I honestly dont understand why tho. Why battletoads? Like 2 years with all this battletoads stuff from them and still no new game announcement from the franchise. Banjo has more games than battletoads.

Internet memes, infamity and hilarious possibilities.

Please bring Master Chief to KI!

No, he doesn't. They actually have the same amount of games. Battletoads actually got a cartoon episode, so I think it beats Banjo-Kazooie.

- Battletoads (NES)
- Battletoads (GB)
- Battletoads in Battlemaniacs (SNES)
- Battletoads & Double Dragon (SNES)
- Super Battletoads (Arcade)

Spoiler

There's also the LCD game of Battletoads if you want to count that.

- Banjo-Kazooie (N64)
- Banjo-Tooie (N64)
- Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge (GBA)
- Banjo-Pilot (GBA)
- Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (360)

that Grin is so perfect lol

 

[Blues1990]

I love how Rash sounds like a Jeff Spicoli knock-off.

It's just a nostalgia thing. Everyone who has played an NES remembers Battletoads.

This is from the arcade stick thread just recently:

I had a feeling it was a Microsoft thing, since I've seen people complain about Mad Catz Xbox one sticks having issues and my Hori Xbox One stick didn't have working trigger buttons on Win 7 and now Win 10. Hopefully that statement that I quoted from Ms. Loftus' speaking on stage points to Microsoft actually doing something about it.

Thanks. I should probably lurk moar in the stick thread, but I'm afraid seeing pictures might make me want to buy even more sticks, which I shouldn't do (I already have too many for someone who barely plays since I suck at fighting games).

They made him sound like Raphael from the original TMNT cartoon, IMO

Xav is still around so Battletoads Xbox One Edition confirmed?
