i thought that Crytek is already working on Battletoads.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm surprised this seems to be flying over many people's heads. Have people in this thread actually played battletoads

 

[Monty Mole]

The most stunning looking Banjo platform game you can ever imagine.

Please.

 

[derFeef]

Banjo please. Battletoads is cool and all, but I want my Rare platformer with delecious graphics. I can only imagine what Rare can do on new hardware *drool*

Fucking LOL

 

[Silky]

No Seavor, no Conker sadly.

Anyway...Platinum developed Battletoads? Done by the MadWorld/Anarchy team? OH BABY.

LMFAO hahaha awesome

Crytek nailed it.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Gamestop is really sick of people preordering Battletoads.

4chan has a trolling thing where they call GameStop and belligerently ask questions about the upcoming Battletoads game and/or try to pre-order it in store.

Heh, thanks.

 

[gemoran4]

If I remember correctly, Battletoads isn't even a Rare (MS) IP, so..... ?

It was developed by Rare (not sure if they were the publishers or not), but i'd imagine it is their IP

 

[Green Yoshi]

Blast Corps HD (remake) as a download game for Xbox 360 would be nice.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Ah, to be a Rare fan.

no rare fan would be drawn to that carrot. here,

 

[Bundy]

Nah, I think not. Rare was just the developer, I guess.
I loved Battletoads! So a year ago, I looked after the ownership of the IP.
So it seems like "Tradewest" is the owner of the Battletoads IP.
Tradewest got acquired by Midway Games.
Midway Games got acquired by Warner Bros.
So Warner Bros. has the IP as it seems.

Anyways.... Rare isn't Rare anymore.
All the old talent is gone. So..... it doesn't matter who's gonna make a new Battletoads :/

Couldn't find the boot kick

 

[Brainiac 8]

I'd have taken a new Battletoads over Killer Instinct. Fuck.

Anyone find it funny that the mentions the reaction to Killer Instinct when Rare isn't even involved in the development?

"What can Rare do next?"

"What they do every night Pinky, continue to make Kinect titles while we farm their IPs to other studios!"

 

[Toki767]

I thought Rare wasn't even working on Killer Instinct.

 

[Acidote]

Pawn Stars will have their share too...

It's like he's trying to connect the new KI to Rare too fool the uninformed into thinking Rare is actually making it.

Basically, who knows what other Rare IPs they can farm out to 3rd party studios? Could be anything, right?

Gamestop gets the last laugh

 

[Bluemercury]

Put a sale on the company and let Nintendo bid...

 

[theviolenthero]

Nope, they're working on Ryse.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nintendo wasn't interested the first time, and their brand has diminished since then.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Put a sale on the company and let Nintendo bid...

Yes sir

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Jet Force Gemini and Blast Corps please. No one wants garbage like Battletoads.

 

[Hindle]

Rare will be splitting into different teams after Kinect Sports has finished development. Maybe one of those teams is working on Battletoads?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Grabbed by the Ghouls 'N Ghosties.

Capcom collab

 

[Manu]

Why does it look like he's wearing cut offs?

He's a nevernude.

 

[Fushichou187]

Sooo, a BT that is a DD only release and F2P?

 

[oVerde]

Request for Microsoft:

Less words.
Less promises.
More games.

ice cold

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Would prefer a next-gen Perfect Dark.

 

[Logash]

A next-gen Banjo would be epic. I miss 3D platformers.

 

[dragonelite]

Gamestop gets the last laugh

Lmfao....

Spoiler

Probably better to not tell that Rare probably has the original source code and asset laying around the office somewhere..

 

[EatinOlives]

smh. The reaction made Phil Spencer "think"? It's not immediately obvious people want Rare to do games that Rare was famous for?

A proper platformer is something rare should be capable off right guys?

 

[Dictator93]

GameStop employees on suicide watch.

ha!

I would prefer JFG.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

honestly - theyve missed the boat on battletoads imo

theres zero relevance in todays society...maybe if a cartoon was put out or something then yeah...

thats like releasing a goonies game...

 

[oneida]

the cynicism in this thread is really touching.

 

[Flame Lord]

Never played the NES Battletoad games but I fucking loved the arcade one. Need to get that on the marketplace.

 

[Heysoos]

I never really liked Jet Force Gemini. I mean I did, until the stupid collect all the damn teddy bears shit.

 

[EatinOlives]

At this point I don't know. Nuts & Bolts had actually pretty fun platforming, so 2008 Rare definitely could do it. They just chose to focus on the vehicle creation system instead. By now so much of their talent has left I don't know if they can actually do it today, but I hate that MS isn't even giving them a chance, with platforming or any other games they were known for.

All they need to do is stick to classical platforming, introduce a few extras like Kinect puzzles etc and keep the same stellar production values the original was known for. It'd be a hit. Deviating from a working formula is silly, while I appreciate what Nuts & Bolts tried to achieve, it didn't add to the franchise.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Nope, they're working on Ryse.

 

[miDnIghtEr20C]

I was told long ago they were supposed to have Perfect Dark at launch for the X1. Maybe they're still making it.

Who knows.

 

[legacyzero]

That would be cool however Conker would be a much better choice.

This

 

[Addest]

A Jetforce Gemini sequel would be pretty cool.

Update it with realistic graphics
More realistic and extreme gore
More bug types
Multiplayer support
Brown and bloom

........ wait....

Spoiler

Let Rare die in peace

 

[Syph Medwes]

Yes please!
