Battletoads & Double Dragon (1993) - #VideoGame #Review

A brilliant game!

Ok so back in the early 1990s some of the biggest, 'B' level media characters were, 'Battletoads' and, 'Double Dragon'.

Now Double Dragon is still an excellent video game series, even though it has mostly disappeared, but back then, this game series was one of the first, 'fighter style' video games for the, 'Nintendo', and was so much fun, that a movie would eventually be made in to it!

And then there was the, 'Battletoads'... Now this series is gone... I hate to say it, but it is true... But this series is similar in basic concept to the, 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' except that instead of being mutants from ooze... It is about a group of teens that can go back and forth between being, 'Toads' as well as being, 'humans'!

Now both of these series have individual video games that are a lot of fun... But they also have a video game together that totally rocks! Battletoads & Double Dragon (1993)!

Classic!

Developed by: Rare for the various consoles of the day, (including: Nintendo, Super-Nintendo, Game Boy and the Sega Genesis,) and was an amazing cross-over video game series between the two franchises!

And I have to say the individual video game series, this game rocks, it's fighting style is awesome, the FX are cool... The only two problems I have to say that really about the only things that I really don't like about this game... No story, and for some reason, the Graphics kind of really suck!

They don't really make these types of games anymore... It is a shame!

In the end though it is worth trying... Especially if you are a fan of the older video games.

Earthworm Jim And The Battletoads: A Couple Of Forgotten Heroes Of TheWorld Of Video Games

We all know about the modern heroes of the world of video games, I mean who doesn't know of, 'Master Chief' from Microsoft's popular, 'Halo' video game series... And if you are a little bit older, I am sure you guys will remember, 'Sonic the Hedgehog' from the famous Sega series,  or, ' Mario' from Nintendo's legendary, 'Super Mario Bros.' franchise... (All though I will admit that Mario is as much a modern day hero as any of the rest of them!)

But I thought that I would go back through the decades here and I thought it would be fun to talk about two in particular that I personally, I think you will agree, should be brought back to prominence!

Let's get started!

At number 1: Earthworm Jim

Earthworm Jim, now here is a game that has been ported from just about all the great video game systems of the last 20 years or so, and has been also on Computer as a Computer game!

At number 2: The Battletoads... A popular set of heroes that had games on just about all of the famous video game systems of the era (Nintendo/Famicom, the Amiga, The Sega Genesis, Gameboy, Game Gear, and that is just to name a few!)

There are a ton more, these two in particular I decided to mention because... I mean lets be honest here, they are pretty awesome, and almost completely forgotten!
